Brittany Aldean is ready for beach season, y’all.

After Jason Aldean’s wife gave birth to her second child, she told it was “difficult” to get in shape again—but you’d never know it by looking at her now.

“I gained 40 pounds with both of my children and it took me a lot longer to start feeling myself after my second [child]. I felt really down,” Brittany admitted. “Eventually I came to a point where I knew that I just had to take charge.”

Somewhere between traveling for Jason’s tour and taking care of her kids, the supermom found time to “focus” on her health, and she lost 17 pounds in the process.

Look at those abs! The credits the South Beach Diet with allowing her to “feel comfortable in [her] skin again.” She claims that when she changed the way she ate, she saw and felt the results almost immediately.

“I’m a firm believer that food is fuel,” Brittany explained. “Eating healthy gives me energy and let’s face it, I need all the energy I can get with our busy life and these two babies running around!”

Since shedding her pregnancy weight, Brittany says she is “a better ‘me’ both mentally and physically.”
