A little over a month ago, Victoria’s Secret Angel Heidi Klum gave birth to her fourth child, a baby girl she and husband Seal named Lou Sulola Samuel. Now, although still a long way to go to her former shape, Klum is preparing for the launch of the new line from Victoria’s Secret, where she will be acting as host, as People magazine informs.

Since Heidi will be surrounded by so many gorgeous models / Angels from Victoria’s Secret, the question of her weight inevitably came up in the People interview. She knows she needs to lose more weight in the following weeks, but that’s not to say she is in any hurry to do so, Klum explains. Even more important, she feels no pressure to do it, and the fact that she’s no longer walking down the catwalk with the other girls also has a lot to do with this.

“I embrace that I have more curves right now. I’m definitely one of the heaviest of the bunch of the 30 girls in the show. And I still have 20 lbs. to go. But why not? I like my outfit. I like the way it looks on me,” Klum says. The model, who is one of the few to be able to boast such a healthy body image and attitude towards losing weight, also says she’s already taken the first steps towards getting back to her former shape by having a personal trainer and friend come and live with her.

“There’s no master plan, but I have a trainer in LA who comes to my house. She’s helping me so I don’t overdo it. I've been walking on the treadmill. Walking up and down the driveway. She has a medicine ball so she showed me things on there. You can’t do too much too early,” the model reveals. As for dieting, well, that is somewhat out of the question since she has three young children to feed and keep happy, so she can’t really afford to keep to too strict a diet.

“I’m not someone who eats salad and chicken. I have a lot of heads around the table and if there’s not variety they get bored. I mean sometimes I have two to three things to serve and my daughter will be like, ‘That’s it, Mommy?’ So it’s fish one day, goulash the next day, spaghetti Bolognese, then schnitzel. I cook a lot,” Heidi says.
