14 DAY TRIAL // Melanie Brown, or Mel B for short, had a very athletic, ripped figure of which she was very proud, especially since it landed her some very lucrative endorsement deals. Having just given birth, Mel is determined to get that figure back as soon as possible.
The star gave birth on September 1 but she’s already taking the necessary steps to bounce back into pre-pregnancy weight.
She’s just become the spokesperson for Jenny Craig Australia and New Zealand, saying she has all the faith that the program will help her lose the 33 pounds (15kg) she gained while pregnant, the Daily Mail informs.
Of course, she’s not surprised that she piled on more weight than with previous pregnancies, she says: she had days when she literally couldn’t stop eating.
“I was literally eating morning, noon and night, and it didn’t matter what time. I was just eating. I was a house,” she says of forgetting about calorie restrictions for once in her life.
“I love my humps and bumps, but when a newspaper described my shape as the ‘bootylicious, curvylicious, post-baby body of Melanie,’ I knew I had to do something. I had to get the eating under control,” Melanie adds of the decision to take the Jenny Craig offer.
“I have already been exercising but what I need is a little push to help me start eating sensibly. I really allowed myself the chance to pig out during this pregnancy, so I’ve got a bit of weight to lose,” she adds.
In order to get back in shape, she’ll start an offer from Jenny Craig designed specifically with new moms in mind, since they need the extra nutrients to breastfeed.
“Mums really need to take time for themselves and get to a place where they are happy with their body again. We should not put it off because we deserve more than that. A healthy happy mum equals a healthy happy family,” Melanie says.
Right now, the singer turned reality star weighs 165.3 pounds (75kg), but she hopes to get down to 132.2 (60kg) by next year.
