I did not have a lot of time to lose baby fat: Beyonce

New York: Pop star Beyonce says it was a challenge to reclaim her figure back after the birth of Blue Ivy as she had to get back in shape in just three months.

The Grammy winner, who put on 57 pounds during her pregnancy, had booked her first post-baby concert just months after the birth of her daughter, the Huffington Post reported. "I gained 57 pounds when I was pregnant. I didn`t have a lot of time to lose the weight, because I scheduled a show three months after I gave birth, which I would never do again," she says in a behind-the-scenes video on her upcoming cover story for Shape magazine. "I`m not a person that is naturally very thin. I am a person that has to work at keeping my body in shape," she said. Beyonce, 31, says that the most important part of losing the baby weight was understanding what worked best for her body. "Not everyone is supposed to be the same. Be healthy and take care of yourself, but be happy with the beautiful things that make you, you." PTI
