She Wasn’t Always This Fit

Although Simone has never been overweight, she did pack on the pounds while she was pregnant with her children. She shares, “I have a small frame and I am short so when I gained six stone [equivalent to a whopping 80 pounds!] with my first pregnancy this felt heavy on my frame… I 100% know just how hard that weight was to loose, easy especially when I had other children to consider and like all mums wanted to get the balance right.”

Still Exercising While Pregnant

Because she knew she could pack on the pounds while pregnant, she was vigilant about working out and being fit, even while carrying all 5 of her kids. She explained during an older interview, “During my first pregnancy with Summer I ate way too much and piled on the pounds, I was at least 3 stone [around 42 pounds] heavier by the time I gave birth. But shortly after she was born I slimmed right back down to a size 6 as I was due to marry Paul 10 months later… I’ve since had another four children who are now all under the age of nine and although my stomach has stretched and deflated so many times, I still have strong ab muscles.”
