After being scrutinized last winter for photos that revealed a less-than-svelte bikini body, Jennifer Love Hewitt implored “girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist” to “put on a bikini — put it on and stay strong.”

That sentiment of size acceptance is what is making her sudden 18-pound weight loss headline news.

The actress is on the cover of this week’s Us Weekly, where she flaunts losing 18 pounds in 10 weeks.

How’d she do it? “I am in a pretty good workout regimen that I like, so it inspired me to keep it up,” Hewitt told Us.

Why did she do it? Her trainer Steve Sant’Angelo told the magazine it didn’t have to do with looking “good in that dress.”

One magazine insider says that might be true, but good publicity is also behind it.

“The moment those pictures broke, a light bulb went off over the heads of many magazine editors — ‘How long until the weight-loss story?’ was the question. Weight loss always sells on the newsstands, and let’s face it, we wouldn’t have much reason to talk about (Hewitt) if she hadn’t done this.”
