Jennifer Lopez was proud of her post-pregnancy figure

After gaining 50lbs during her pregnancy Jennifer Lopez has revealed that she is in no hurry to lose her baby weight.

The star gave birth to twins Max and Emme on February 22.

She told OK! magazine: "I gained a good amount of weight, which I was focused on because twins can sometimes have a low birth weight. I gained 45-50lbs, a lot for my frame, but for twins it's right on."

The 38-year-old said she was proud of her post-pregnancy figure.

She added: "It's amazing how your stomach goes goes boop and it's this jiggly mass. I even play with my little leftover belly.

Even though she is happy at the moment, the singer has come up with a novel way of eventually shifting the post-pregnancy pounds - by taking part in a triathlon in the autumn.

For husband Marc Anthony the plan is proof that the driven J.Lo of old hasn't been completely overtaken by the yummy mummy. He said: "There's an underachiever over here. Maybe I'll do a triathlon because I've never done that before."

When it comes to gifts for the twins, Lopez's A-list friends have clearly had to think long and hard over what to get "the babies who have everything".

Newborn twins Maximilian David and Emme Maribel already have a chandelier in their bedroom, piles of cashmere baby clothes and matching "rocking ducks" - not to mention their very own bodyguards.
