Tone It Up co-founder Katrina Scott just gave birth to her first baby with husband Brian Scott (like, literally 10 days ago).
But the trainer isn’t about to pretend her body immediately reverted back to her pre-pregnant form—and honestly, that’s pretty awesome.

I’ve been wanting to share this & I finally have my hands free! ?Baby girl is all fed, diaper is changed, and she’s fast asleep…and my diaper is changed too…yup lol. So here it is…this is me just before I got pregnant vs 6 days after giving birth ? on the left I felt like I was the strongest & most in shape I had ever been— but wow was I wrong. I had no idea what I was capable of. I’m so much more proud of the body on the right. I fought harder for it, sacrificed so much more, embraced every day as it came, surrendered to all the change, pushed through the hard days & challenges with a smile on my face & kept a positive perspective when things got tough, worked harder than I ever have— at work & at home and on my mind, body, & soul, listened to my intuition and what was best for the little miracle growing inside me, and most of all— I showed myself how truly amazing the female body is. I appreciate and love my body & all that it has done more than I ever have before. I wanted to film this and share exactly where I’m at with you bc I don’t want anyone to ever think things are ‘perfect’. I weighed myself (I wouldn’t have done this, but I want to share in case any of you ever feel discouraged leaving the hospital after birth) I went in weighing 175 (up 40lbs) and left with a 7 pound baby in my arms weighing 165. I don’t recommend weighing yourself, but I want you to know that this is completely normal. We don’t leave all the baby weight at the hospital! We have a new journey ahead of us and it’s going to take self-love, patience, & kindness. I kept hearing from moms that when you get home you don’t recognize yourself or your body anymore and I want to make that okay. Let’s not be the same— let’s be different…let’s be stronger ? Do I want the body on the left? No~ I’m not the same girl. I’m capable of so much more now and I’m excited for my new body and what the future holds ~ tiger stripes ?, dimples and all! Please take a moment & tag a mom below and let her know how freaking beautiful, amazing, & remarkable she is ? Check in with her and ask if there’s anything she needs for her own goals, because u never know if she needs it ? love u girls

“This is me just before I got pregnant vs 6 days after giving birth,” she captioned a side-by-side Instagram post on Wednesday.
On the left, she’s rocking a matching workout set on the beach, and on the right, she’s holding her daughter Isabelle. “On the left I felt like I was the strongest & most in shape I had ever been—but wow was I wrong,” she wrote.
She continued in the emotional post:

“Do I want the body on the left?,” she continued. “No~ I’m not the same girl. I’m capable of so much more now and I’m excited for my new body and what the future holds ~ tiger stripes, dimples and all!”
In the third, fourth, and fifth slides of her post, she also shared videos in which she openly talked about her body post-pregnancy.
She revealed her stretch marks on the side of her body, along with cellulite, and said in the video: “For anyone who tells you that you lose all the weight right after leaving the hospital, that’s not true.”

She added in the video that she was really grateful for all of the core strengthening she did during her pregnancy. And she plans to return to working out in six to eight weeks, per her doctor’s recommendation. In the meantime, she’s walking to stay fit.
“I kept hearing from moms that when you get home you don’t recognize yourself or your body anymore and I want to make that okay,” Katrina wrote in her post. “Let’s not be the same—let’s be different…let’s be stronger.” A.M.E.N.
