"Will & Grace" star Debra Messing is speaking about difficult tabloid reports on her past struggle to lose her baby weight.  "It was written about in the tabloids a lot," Messing tells the January issue of Shape magazine. "On one page it showed all the actresses who got skinny in six weeks or less, and on the other page was me!" She says the persistent reports were hard to deal with and left her feeling "depressed and frustrated." Right after her son was born in 2004, Messing went to a personal  trainer. "It helped me drop the first few pounds, but 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," says the current star of "The Starter Wife." It took her three years, but she finally shed the extra 42 pounds to get back to her pre-baby weight. "Ultimately I’m very proud of how I dropped the weight because I think it was the healthy approach," Messing tells Shape. "I’ve finally taken ownership of my body."
