Marcelina Zawadzka gained 25 kg after her pregnancy. How did she get back in shape?

25 kilos ‘plus’ – how has Marcelina Zawadzka’s body changed?

Marcelina Zawadzka became a mum at the end of 2024. In an interview she admitted that during her pregnancy she gained as much as 25 kilos and after the birth she “stopped stepping on the scale”.–for her it became more important to feel healthy and comfortable than the number on the scale.

I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy. I gained 25 kilos and then I stopped stepping on the scale. There was no point. Eventually we moved from the birth home to a caesarean section…. The body changes a lot.

Breastfeeding and diet – keys to getting back into shape

According to her, breastfeeding has been an important support in the fight against the extra weight: “

The main thing [that has helped me lose weight is] that I’m breastfeeding – Leo was big straight away…

In addition, she has made it a rule to eat less bread at home – if she does, she only eats it out. She has dedicated several sessions a week to Pilates exercises, which she believes has strengthened her deep muscles. In addition, the daily childcare and lack of sleep naturally had an effect on burning calories:

I feel like I’m exercising these deep muscles. It’s having an effect. You sleep less, you do a lot with the little one.

Marcelina Zawadzka – moving away from modelling to motherhood

Marcelina pointed out the pressures of the modelling world, in which she made her debut at the age of 14:

It’s a process… You give birth to a child and that’s the most important thing… I have love for myself. It also came with time.

According to her, her ability to adapt – gained both on the catwalks and in everyday roles – has helped her to find her feet in her new life role as a mother and accept her changing body.
