Tempestt Bledsoe On Joining Celebrity Fit Club

by Michelle on January 4th, 2006

We covered Chastity Bono’s reasons for joining VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club, and today we’ll take a look at what prompted Tempestt Bledsoe to sign on.

She’s starting off at 5′8″, 181 lbs and 29.4% body fat. Her goal during the 100-day Celebrity Fit Club contest is to reach 151 lbs.

I am the body type I am not because of eating — I don’t come from a family of small women. I don’t have eating issues.

Tempestt says she was interested in Celebrity Fit Club focus on diet and nutrition and be active again during the 100 day challenge.

You see actresses trying to go through these drastic changes with their weight and all kinds of unhealthy things to fit an image and it’s a huge pressure on us. Actresses, especially black actresses, have so much pressure, and there are fewer parts for us. We have to compete. It’s ridiculous. It’s completely ridiculous.

It seems Tempestt isn’t as concerned about the pounds on the scale as she is about being healthy and active - and that’s the best attitude to take when slimming down. She was lighthearded enough to be fun on the first episode, but still obviously driven to succeed. Best of luck to you during the show Tempestt!
