Trainor revealed that after giving birth to her son, she was the "heaviest I've ever been." The singer joined ET Canada in an interview and explained that when she C-sectioned her baby, she weighed more than 200 pounds. Between the February delivery till now, Trainor has reportedly shed at least 60 pounds.

During the interview, the "Dear Future Husband" singer admitted that dealing with the new scar caused by the C-section was a lot for her because she had never had an injury that warranted stitches.

"I just wasn't feeling great," Meghan 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."

"I was very dedicated, and I started seeing the pounds come off like one week at a time, one pound." Trainor revealed that she discovered several new things after starting her weight loss journey, including her food preferences and other aspects of healthy living.

In an interview with MailOnline last month, Trainor spoke on how she felt after giving birth and the several physical changes it came with. She explained that the changes were reflected in "Takin' It Back," her most recent album released last month. "The first song I wrote after giving birth, I mean after having a C-section with my stretch marks, I was feeling extra, like, not loving myself," she said.

"I was heavier than I've ever been, and I was just super lost. The first song I wrote is called Remind Me, and it's about how my husband reminds me who I once was and then how beautiful he thinks I am, and I see a lot of that in this album," Trainor continued.
