"Tia Mowry has a mommy-friend crush! Speaking to Us Weekly at Essence&amp;apos;s Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon on Feb. 21 at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Sister, Sister star, who has an 18-month-old son, Cree, with husband Cory Hardrict, said her role model when it comes to post-baby weight loss is Hilary Duff!\r\n&amp;quot;I remember when I had my baby. I was looking at everybody like &amp;apos;Damn, how are they on the beach after two months in a bikini? What the hell are they doing?&amp;apos; &amp;quot; the 34-year-old actress said. &amp;quot;I went to my OB because I thought something was wrong with me, because that&amp;apos;s all I would see! And she said, &amp;apos;No, honey, that&amp;apos;s fine.&amp;apos; &amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s a lot of pressure, especially when you see people like Claire Danes and Megan Fox,&amp;quot; chimed in twin sister Tamera Mowry.\r\n&amp;quot;Hilary Duff is someone that I looked up to,&amp;quot; continued Tia. Fellow former child star Duff, mom to 11-month-old Luca, has talked openly about her problems losing the pregnancy pounds. The 25-year-old actress told Us in June, &amp;quot;I think if you ask any pregnant mom, they&amp;apos;re like &amp;apos;I want my body back,&amp;apos; but it takes time. It takes nine months for your body to get that way and it&amp;apos;s putting on that weight on purpose.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nTamera, who gave birth just two months ago to son Aden, is following in sister Tia&amp;apos;s footsteps and aiming for a slow and steady post-baby weight loss. &amp;quot;At first you&amp;apos;re shocked. You&amp;apos;re like, &amp;apos;My body&amp;apos;s completely different.&amp;apos; Your boobs are in your face, you have stretch marks, you have curves that you never had before&amp;#x2026;. My husband said, &amp;apos;Happy girls are pretty girls,&amp;apos; and he keeps telling me that. Enjoy the phase that you&amp;apos;re in. I&amp;apos;m enjoying it!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
