"Jennifer Lopez wasn&amp;apos;t afraid to laugh at herself -- or her post-baby figure -- after welcoming Emme and Max (her twins with husband Marc Anthony) in February 2008.\r\n&amp;quot;I remember my flabby belly hanging out right after I gave birth,&amp;quot; Lopez, 40, confides in the new issue of Us Weekly. &amp;quot;I kind of laughed and said to Marc, &amp;apos;Look, baby! Isn&amp;apos;t this crazy?&amp;apos; I just didn&amp;apos;t care.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe superstar -- just named Us Weekly&amp;apos;s Style Icon of the Decade -- admits that she feels differently about that &amp;quot;belly&amp;quot; in hindsight. &amp;quot;I look back at pictures from that time, and I&amp;apos;m like &amp;apos;Oh, god, I was fat. I was still heavy eight months out!&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIt was Emme and Max who finally inspired Lopez to get her famous body back and shed 50 pounds. The star of The Back-Up Plan explains: &amp;quot;You get to the point where you&amp;apos;re like, Where am I? What happened to me? I got to get myself together for my kids, you know? They need to know what I really look like.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nNot that everything is exactly as it was before she became a mom. Although she&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;back to the size I was before I had the babies,&amp;quot; Lopez says her &amp;quot;rib cage&amp;quot; shifted while carrying her son and daughter. &amp;quot;Before I was always able to fit into sample-size clothes from designers, and now they have to take them out just a bit...It&amp;apos;s no big deal.&amp;quot;\r\nFor more of our exclusive interview with Lopez -- including her step-by-step meal and fitness plan, her &amp;quot;tough&amp;quot; experience with a Master Cleanse, her biggest red-carpet regret, her secret to a happy marriage and more on the twins -- pick up the new Us Weekly, on newsstands today!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
