(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kourtney Kardashian says she loves her svelte new body.

Kourtney became an international celebrity after appearing in reality television show Keeping Up with the Kardashians alongside sisters Khlo and Kim.

The 31-year-old star is mother to Mason Dash Disick, her one-year-old son with boyfriend Scott Disick, and since giving birth has been on a strict health regime in a bid to get back in shape.

After following a gruelling diet and fitness programme, Kourtney now says she couldnt be happier with her body. Although she has worked hard to regain her figure, the beautiful celebrity insists being a good mother comes before anything else.

I love my new body, she beamed in an interview with the American edition of OK! magazine. They say it takes a full year to really get your body back and I believe that. I was 140 lbs. when I gave birth and I'm 95lbs now. But for me it is about being a healthy mom and not being a certain weight.

Kourtney shed her excess weight by limiting herself to small, healthy meals every couple of hours, rather than having three big meals per day. She also toned up by running and building muscle with strength training at the gym. The star got her baby son involved in the exercise by taking him for long walks and holding him as she toned her body.

I'd take him on walks when he was a baby and do squats while holding him, she revealed. (C) Cover Media
