Melissa Joan Hart shows us that you don't need to be a witch to magic away the pounds. The former Sabrina, the Teenage Witch star bares her new 113-lb. bikini body on the cover of People Magazine this week, lending inspiration to new mom's everywhere. It's hard to believe last summer she weighed 155 lbs and felt "horrified" by the unflattering bathing suits shots taken of her at a Southern California beach. "I still read blogs about me discussing how fat I've become," "Everyone still thinks I'm huge," says Hart, 33, whose post-pregnancy body was the subject of cruel Internet attacks after she gave birth to sons Mason, 3, and Braydon, 14 months, with husband, Course of Nature lead singer Mark Wilkerson, 32. "But I'm not anymore!"
Unlike other celebs who get back in their skinny jeans mere weeks after giving birth, Hart struggled to get back in shape after having two babies in two years. The public has grown accustomed to seeing these transformations overnight, "There are enormous pressures put on you in Hollywood," she says. Her inspiration to finally get back in the best shape of her life are the women in her life, including her friend and actress Jamie Pressly, who has a son, Dezi, 2, as well as her own mom Paula, who gave birth to seven children "and is tiny!" Hart says. "I realized I didn't have to be heavy just because I have kids."
Pressly says, "She finally took the time to take care of herself. I'm blown away by how amazing she looks." Reclaiming her slim figure took Hart 14 months of hard work. "It didn't happen by magic – it was as hard for me as it would be for anyone else," she says. The fact that it took a little longer doesn't bother her. "I didn't want to take any time away from spending it with my sons," she explains. To get back in bikini shape, Hart worked with a nutritionist to change her diet and hit the gym with her trainer three times a week. As for how she feels now? "I feel amazing!" she says. "I had to prove to myself that I could do it. I had to give it a go!"
From all of the other celebs we have recently seen grace the cover of magazines showing off weight loss, I am most inspired by Hart. I, like Hart have two young children, and I know how difficult it is to stay eating healthy and on an exercise regimen with small children around. Even if you have a trainer or a babysitter to watch them while you go, it is still time away from you children which always makes a mom feel guilty. Kudos to Melissa Joan Hart for taking out some time for herself to get healthy and set a good example for her children and mom's with young kids.
