TLC Singer Chilli in Workout Gear Says “8 Pounds More Muscle For Me”

Heather Rae El Moussa is opening up about her post-pregnancy workout. In a new social media post the Selling Sunset star shows off her amazing body-after-baby and reveals the program she followed to get back into shape the healthy way. “Let’s talk about my postpartum body….” she started the Instagram caption. Here is everything you need to know about how the reality star got her body back without going to extremes and training with Paulina Hefferan.

1. Her Postpartum Workout Journey “Wasn’t Easy”

Heather starts by explaining that her postpartum workout journey “definitely wasn’t ‘easy’ and didn’t go as expected,” she writes. “I thought I was going to bounce back within 9 weeks!! HUGE LOL but the reality of being a mom to a newborn, breastfeeding, 2 kids, balancing my hormones, my work, my marriage and my life set in.”

2. She Found a New Way to Workout at Home with Paulina Hefferan

She reveals that she “didn’t want to leave the house and leave Tristan to workout,” so she knew she needed to change the way she worked out and what fit for her “new” life. “It was hard guys, I felt weak, old & not super motivated. I had never been someone who lifted weights or did at-home workouts until I met @paulinastein. It was a complete change for me but I lost 25 pounds, leaned out & got my strength back while working out with Paulina.” She adds that the workouts are “accessible and affordable.”

3. She Lost 25 Pounds

“Believe it or not, you guys, I lost 25 pounds postpartum and I did it straight from my living room using two 10 pound dumbbells, a mat, sometimes some ankle weights, sometimes some bands,” she continues in the video.

4. Paulina Helped Her Feel “Really Comfortable”

“Transforming your body after a baby or any time in your life is not easy. It takes a lot of discipline. It takes a lot of structure. It takes someone pushing you Sometimes, especially if you're like me. After I had Tristan, I thought, okay, I'll be back at the gym. I'll be back in hot yoga. I'm going to get my body back in nine weeks. Reality set in, and that did not happen. I don't think I really started working out until I met Paulina. She made me just feel really comfortable. She made me feel like this is a slow journey. This is my journey. I don't need to compare myself to anyone else,” she says.

5. She Worked Out While Tristan Was Napping and Even with Him

She adds that she was able to get the exercises in, even with her baby, because Paulina is “also a mom,” and the fact that I can do it from my home, I can incorporate Tristan, I can do it while he's napping, made me say yes and made me feel like, you know what? I can do this. Working out with her changed my life. I am so proud of myself.”

6. Her Body Was “Back” After Four Months

“I started really noticing that, wow, my body is back around eight and a half months postpartum, and I had started working out with Paulina when I was about four and a half months postpartum. Now that she has this app on days, I can't work out with her when I'm traveling, I can use her app, could work alongside with her, so it really makes you want to do it because she's doing it with you,” she concludes.

7. Walking and Weight Lifting

On Paulina’s Instagram page, she reveals that “lifting weights” and “walking 8,000 to 10,000 steps per day” along with a healthy diet is the perfect equation for weight loss.

Meghan revealed to Entertainment Tonight Canada that when she gave birth to her first son Riley, she was at her “heaviest” and it impacted her emotionally and physically. “I was my heaviest I've ever been, I was like over 200 pounds when I C-sectioned him out. I just wasn't feeling great”’ she said. “I've never had stitches, so to have this C-section scar, I was in a really dark place and I wanted to be in a great place for my son,” she added. To lose the weight, “I worked every day and challenged myself,” she continued. “I was like, ‘If I can survive a C-section, I can do anything!’ I was very dedicated, and I started seeing the pounds come off like one week at a time, one pound… I learned that I do like healthy food and I learned what portions mean. And I learned my brain is so happy when I exercise, so I’m just [feeling] better than ever.”

2. Her Son Motivates Her

Her biggest motivation to get into shape was her son. “I want to run and keep up with my kid. I want to be able to put on a bathing suit and run out there and not be in my head about it. And I want to climb up a treehouse with him,” she told PEOPLE. “I've lost all the baby weight and 10 extra lbs., so I'm just going to keep going and do this for my younger self.”

4. She Works Out with a Person Trainer

Meghan has been working with Rebecca Stanton (@rebeccabroxfit) for years. The two do everything from simple strength and weight training to HIIT style workouts.

5. Her Husband Is Her Workout Buddy and Fitspiration

In 2018, Meghan told Entertainment Tonight that her husband, Daryl Sabara, is her workout buddy. “He really changed my life. He showed me how working out can be fun. I didn't believe it, but now it's true and it feels so good when you're sore -- I love that feeling now, I'm addicted to it,” she said. “He cooks for me and taught me to cook. I never knew how to cook. He taught me, like, secrets how to make your food taste great but also be healthy for you.”

6. She Eats Smaller Portions

Meghan maintains that it isn’t just what she eats – but how much of it – that is crucial to weight loss. “I learned what portions mean. I was very dedicated and I started seeing the pounds come off like one week at a time,” she said.
