She's a Grammy-winning R&B sensation. She's modeled. She's starred in her own smash- hit sitcom and blockbuster movies. On top of all of that, she's raising a two- year-old daughter. Brandy does all of this, and still manages to have one of the hottest bodies in show business today. Three women are about to find out exactly how she's able to do it all. Former model Celestial is a stay-at-home mom struggling to still feel sexy and lose the baby fat from her two pregnancies. Kathryn is a bride-to-be who turns to eating to deal with stress and loneliness, and is concerned she won't fit in to her own wedding dress. And surrounded by skinny starlets, Ayesha is too intimidated to embark on a serious acting career until she drops a few pounds. These very different women will embark on a 12-week exercise program, guided by Hollywood's top trainers, nutritionists and stylists.
