Known for taking down boy drama and sporting killer wardrobes, the Sex and the City foursome are now getting kudos from supermodel-turned-talkshow host Tyra Banks for their motivational weight loss powers.
The famous New York quartet is credited by Banks as the key to helping her shed weight. The former Victoria's Secret and runway model kicked out the living room furniture and made Sex and the City her workout stopwatch.
"I got rid of one of my couches in my living room and I watched Sex and The City episodes on the treadmill or the elliptical," said Banks.
"So Sex and the City lasts 30 minutes, that's how long I'm on the elliptical," she added.
Banks, who recently received media attention for the LBS lost, noted she disapproves of the press being so fascinated with the change in her bodyweight. Banks said she felt the issue was made to be a bigger ordeal than should have.
"The media started taking notice and showing pictures of before and after of me losing weight, and I felt kind of exposed because I wasn't trying to proclaim to the world, 'I got fit and I got healthy and I got in shape," said Banks

True. But she is looking fabulous. The 35-year-old talk show host reared fiercely, buff biceps on a recent episode of The Tyra Show (shown above), and reveals her and her own group of Sex and the City pals got together to form a three month, "get fit, get healthy challenge".
Since January, Banks and friends have been competing with each other and consequently developing a lifestyle change that's changed for the better. Tyra Banks revealed on her talk show she kept a food journal and bought an elliptical machine.
"I didn't work out like crazy, [but] I would exercise," Banks said on her talk show.
"I thought it was going to be private thing me and my friends were going to be doing, but then the media started taking notice and showing pictures," Tyra told her fans. "Especially, after the kiss my fat ass thing. It's still fat by the way. I just feel better inside. No more stomachaches!"
Keeping candid on her talk show and keeping her audience entertained, Tyra talked in jest about how her metabolism changed her career.
"My career as model changed because my metabolism changed. I didn't do Victoria's Secret because I wanted to. I did Victoria's Secret because my ass was getting big and I couldn't fit in Armani runway anymore."
The Tyra Banks Show is one of many television crowns for the former supermodel. In addition to The Tyra Banks Show, Tyra is also the head judge of America's Next Top Model - In it's 13th go-round on television - and Tyra Banks is set to appear in the fourth epidode of this season's Gossip Girl as character, "Ursula Nyquist".
