(Nov. 25) - Debra Messing took a little longer to lose her baby weight than most celebrities -- no personal trainer -- and the reaction from the tabloids still irks her.
"On one page it showed all the actresses who got skinny in six weeks or less, and on the other page was me! I was so depressed and frustrated," the actress, 40, tells Shape magazine, via PEOPLE.

Since giving birth to son Roman in 2004, the former "Will & Grace" star has lost 42 pounds the old fashioned way with a healthy diet. But, she first gave the personal trainer route a try, which left her spent.
"I was exhausted! I couldn't work out three hours a day and do my job as a mother and an actress. So I took the pressure off: I cut back on seeing the trainer but started eating healthier."
"Ultimately I'm very proud of how I dropped the weight because I think it was the healthy approach," Messing says. "I've finally taken ownership of my body."
Now that she looks so great, all she needs is a date.
"I can't tell you the last time I had a date with my husband," she says. "My ideal date with Daniel would be a spectacular meal, maybe Italian, followed by dancing. That's a New Year's resolution I'm looking forward to."

Debra looks wonderful. I read here (www.projectweightloss.com) about how she decided not to go the traditional Hollywood way to lose weight after giving birth to her son and, wow, she sure lost a lot of pounds.

Although Messing is a beautiful woman, you know that photo on the cover is highly brushed and fussed. That is not the real "her."

Debra Messing was gorgeous! She still is. Prior to her baby, I always thought she looked too, too thin. She's worked hard, but she looked great before. Maybe she wasn't "in shape", I don't know. She didn't show her body much, but I saw her on Rachel Zoe, and she was gorgeous and beautiful "inside" also.The tabs rag on people in order to sell papers. That's it. That's all. They have NO SOUL. The people who run them HAVE NO SOUL, NO HUMANITY. They're rags also. I would never buy one.

She looks fantastic on the cover. It is a waste of time to compare yourself to a maagzine cover that has been photoshoped and altered to perfection. If you try you will end up feeling depressed and frustrated.

An English mid-wife told me that all pregnant women get stretch marks NOW practically no one does....wonder why? I did read once that some women don't take the baby to term so that they don't get the problem...true??

Hell, even as a gay man, Messing is HOT! To quote Matt Damon from his episode of 'Will & Grace" years ago..."a rocking ***!"
