Beyoncé made men drool with her sexy GQ cover and had the ladies admiring her style on the cover of Vogue. Now she’s showing off her post-baby body on the cover of Shape’s April 2013 issue.

In the magazine, the pop icon reveals how she lost the 57 pounds she gained while pregnant with daughter Blue Ivy.

“I didn’t have a lot of time to lose the weight because I scheduled a show three months after I gave birth, which I would never do again,” she laughed.

While it may appear otherwise, Bey admits that she too has to work to shed the pounds.

“I’m not a person that is naturally very thin. I am a person that has to work at keeping my body in shape.”

Blue’s mom credits her dance workouts for keeping her fit, while offering some sound advice to others.

“I would just say, everyone is not supposed to be the same. Be healthy and take care of yourself, but be happy with the beautiful things that make you you.”
