Jennifer Lopez is appearing on the cover of Self magazine, who have made the singer and actress one of their Ten Most Inspiring Women. The "Out Of Sight" actress talked about diverse subjects such as having children, training for a triathlon and setting up her own charity.

Lopez and husband Marc Anthony welcomed their twins to the world in February 2008. However, it seems Max and Emme are keeping their famous parents busy. Lopez has decided not to hire a nanny so that she can feel closer to her children. She has also decided to compete in a triathlon and is being trained by Gunnar Peterson. The singer said she put on 50 pounds carrying her children and had managed to lose most of her baby weight, saying that she is now only 15-20 pounds more than she would like to be.

The actress also explained how she is planning on setting up a new charity for women and children, after being inspired by projects such as Make-A-Wish and Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Lopez told the magazine: At this time in my life, with my babies and husband and home, everything feels complete to me. But I do feel like there's something left undone".

Also in Self magazine's list of Ten Most Inspiring Women were Gwen Stefani, Reese Witherspoon and Hillary Clinton.
