Ciara has proven that celebrities struggle with shedding baby weight, too. In an Instagram post on April 14th, Ciara gave a shoutout to all the mothers out there.
The picture showed Ciara wearing a grey hoodie with her hair braided and pulled away from her face. In the caption, she said that she was trying to lose 70 pounds she had gained during her pregnancy.

She was also preparing for a tour and a show while taking care of her children. On top of that, Ciara is starting to feel pressure from the business ventures she runs.
She knows she isn’t alone in the struggle, however. She shouted out to the mothers who were also struggling and said that she saw them.
Ciara also used the hashtag MambaMentality, which is a reference to Kobe Bryant and his widow, Vanessa Bryant. The hoodie she was wearing was inspired by Kobe.
Ciara Flaunted Her Figure in a Red Bathing Suit
The post comes after Ciara gave birth to her fourth child, Amora Princess Wilson. She shares Amora with her husband, Russell Wilson, who plays quarterback in the NLF. They also have two other children together, Sienna Princess and Win Harrison.

Ciara has one more child with her ex, Future. His name is Future Zahir.
This isn’t the first time Ciara has shown off her post-partum body, either. In another Instagram post from February, Ciara is seen walking along a deck and into some water with a drink in her hand.
She wore a red bathing suit and did not hide the fact that she still had some of the weight she gained while pregnant. In a caption, Ciara said that she was embracing every stage of life and encouraged others to do so, too.
Her husband was quick to support her post. In a comment, Russell called her a beautiful, Black, Queen and said that he loved her.
Ciara Wants to Lost Weight Before Her Tour
Weight gain with pregnancy can be an issue for some women, particularly celebrities, who are pushed into losing weight as soon as possible. Ciara has been showing that losing weight can be a gradual process, and there’s no shame in how long it takes you. That said, Ciara has a reason for wanting to lose 70 pounds as quickly as she can.
Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Timbaland, and Ciara are all touring together as part of the Out of This World tour. The tour begins on July 4 in Vancouver, Canada. It will finally end on August 22 in Rosemont, Illinois.
Ciara made an Instagram post when the tour was announced. She said that she was excited to hit the road with the group and encouraged her fans to buy tickets while they could.
Considering how stressful and exhausting tours can be, it makes sense that Ciara is focusing on losing weight before the tour begins. Besides the support of her husband, other friends have also encouraged Ciara to keep up the good work.
Holly Robinson Peete commented on Ciara’s post about her weight loss, saying that if anyone could lose that amount of weight in that amount of time, it was her. Gabrielle Union also commented on the post with some muscle arm emojis.
With the tour beginning in a few months, Ciara has her work cut out for her.
