Losing up to 18 kg in just a few months is an incredible achievement. Vicky revealed the tips and secrets she followed.

"Exercise. Honestly, I went to a nutritionist to ensure that my diet is healthy and doesn't interfere with my child's nutritional needs. I exercise by walking with my child and husband for 30 minutes every morning. I also do weightlifting and various exercises at home. I have to take care of my health, can't be careless. First, I was breastfeeding and during the pandemic, I had to prioritize my health," Vicky continued.

2. Vicky Shu's Message to New Mothers

Vicky no longer cares about the haters who often criticize her body shape. The singer of the song 'Merindu' also tried to give an encouraging message to mothers who are in the same situation as her.

"Lack of confidence surely exists, fear of being bullied also existed. Maybe for the second child, before being as slim as in the photos, I was overweight, so I know how to diet. If I'm being bullied now, it doesn't hurt because I just gave birth," Vicky added.

"I educate mothers not to take body shaming too seriously. We have to believe that the process exists and varies. The most important thing is a healthy child, and we also need to be healthy. Taking care of our body is easy, just manage a healthy diet and exercise regularly, the body will surely slim down. So, for those who have just given birth, focus on your child first, don't worry about and distance yourself from hurtful comments. Start exercising slowly and watch your diet so that our bodies can return to how they were before," she concluded.
