J-Lo struggled to lose baby fat
Jennifer Lopez admits it was an "uphill struggle" to lose her baby weight.
The singer-and-actress - who gave birth to twins Max and Emme in February 2008 - gained 50lbs when she was pregnant and was shocked when it did not fall off straight away.
She said: "I thought the weight was going to drop off easily because I'd been in shape my whole life. But it wasn't easy. It was an uphill struggle.
"I had gained about 50lbs while pregnant. The first 30lb dropped off like that and I was so pleased. Then I had to lose the last 15 or 20lbs that just didn't want to go. I had to diet and work out a lot."
Following her struggle to shift the excess pounds, Lopez is reconsidering her previous vow not to have any cosmetic surgery.
The 40-year-old star - who is married to Marc Anthony - said: "I have to say I feel awesome! I feel the same way I felt when I was in my 20s.
"I don't see myself having any plastic surgery, but I'm not at that point yet, so I don't know. I don't know how I'll feel when I'm older.
"But I'm more of a natural person and I believe in beauty not being an outside, physical thing. Luckily, I'm used to seeing myself everywhere now that I no longer obsess about the way I look."
