'When I got pregnant I remember watching my back, belly and butt grow and thinking, "I will never be the same again,"' she said.

'Then I remember right after the twins were born having that weird jiggly belly - and kind of loving that. Because I earned that jiggly belly.'
The Dance Again singer, who turns 44 next month, gained around 50lbs when she was pregnant with twins Max and Emme, now five.
The singer, a devotee of celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, came up with novel ways of shifting the post-pregnancy pounds - including taking part in a triathlon six months after giving birth.

Making sure all eyes were on her, the confident former American Idol judge chose an outfit which perfectly highlighted her feminine figure.
Bronx native Jennifer chose a white pencil skirt which clung to her shape in all the right places as she shot the advert in Brooklyn, New York.
She teamed the skirt with a hot pink blouse and towering nude heels which added to the glamour of her ensemble.
She also looked stunning at the amfAR gala wearing a skintight dress which showed off her toned figure on Thursday night.
J-Lo, who was at the the fourth annual amfAR Inspiration Gala at The Plaza Hotel in New York, looked immaculate in the metallic blue gown - which has also been seen on British models Lily Cole and Liberty Ross.

Her nude make-up design allowed the dress to speak volumes for her style, with her caramel blonde hair scraped back into a sophisticated pony-tail.
The former American Idol judge tweeted before the event: 'Change can happen when we come together. Looking forward to tonight’s #amfARInspiration NY Gala to benefit #HIV #AIDS research!!!'
After the event, Jennifer tweeted: 'Beautiful evening #amfARInspiration! So humbled to be honored by these agents of change.'
Bringing together famous faces from the world of fashion, music, cinema and more, amfAR hope to build AIDS awareness throughout the world.
