Melissa Joan Hart Is Confident In Her Post-Nutrisystem Body After 40-Pound Weight Loss

Melissa Joan Hart is more confident than ever after losing 40 pounds with Nutrisystem.

Following the birth of her third son, Hart teamed up with Nutrisystem and got her body back on track. Now, in a new ad for the brand, Hart is posing in a hot pink two-piece.

“It’s not every day I like to show a lot of skin,” Hart told PEOPLE Magazine on April 9. “But these days I’m feeling confident.”

In Sept. 2012, after giving birth to sons Mason Walter Wilkerson, in Jan. 2006, and Braydon "Brady" Hart, in March 2008, Hart and her husband Mark Wilkerson welcomed their third son, Tucker McFadden Wilkerson, born Sept. 2012. During the pregnancy, Hart gained a reported 60 pounds.

Once she joined forces with Nutrisystem, Hart dedicated herself to getting her body back to its pre-baby state -- and several members of her family joined her along the way. Her sister-in-law Sally Wilkerson lost an astounding 136 pounds, and her husband was on board as well.

“He is the guy who is disciplined. His whole thing is ‘Stick to it, be healthy, be fit.’ He does it for me so I had to return the favor!” Hart revealed.

Although Hart is surely inspired to stay fit, she admits that now, after becoming a mother, she doesn't put nearly as much pressure on herself as she once did.

“Being a mom made me stop being so hard on myself,” she said. “My priorities are my children.”
