‘You Got This Ci!’: Fans Shower Ciara with Support After She Reveals Weight- Loss Goal

Ciara is on a mission to shed her pregnancy pounds.

The “Goodies” singer gave birth to her and husband Russell Wilson‘s son Win Wilson exactly one month ago and now she’s gearing up to whip back into shape. She hopped over to Instagram on Monday, Aug. 24., and revealed to her 26 million followers that she set a specific weight-loss goal.

“48lbs to go! Starting the game plan tomorrow!!” Ciara wrote in her caption. “P.s. don’t know how easy it’s going be considering 3 baby’s now! Going to work really hard at this! Let’s go Mamma’s 💃🏽💪🏽”

In the post, the natural beauty shared a makeup-free photo that showed off her sun-kissed skin. She was also sporting a white bathing suit, while posing in front of her and Wilson’s home.

IG users cheered Ciara on to lose weight and inundated her post with encouraging comments.

“You got this Ci!!!!❤️🔥❤️🔥,” said one fan.

Another added, “Take your time and don’t feel rush. Be kind to yourself and body.’

“You got this Ci! Snap back be so FIRE! 🔥” a different IG user wrote.

Someone else commented, “Lady, you GOT this!!! Already killing it on the career, wife, and mom sides – YOU GOT THIS!!!! 💪🏼”

Ciara and Wilson welcomed their second child last month and announced the news via Instagram.

“Happy Birthday WIN!!! Mommy & Daddy Love You! Win Harrison Wilson,” Ciara penned. “7.23.2020. 8lbs 1 oz.”

The happily married couple are proud parents to their 3-year-old daughter Sienna Princess and the singer’s son Future Zahir, 6.

In 2018, a year after giving birth to her daughter, Ciara was back to her pre-baby weight. She gained 65 pounds during the course of her pregnancy and told People that she hit the gym multiple times a day when she was taking care of the children.

“I had the craziest system,” she said. “I would wake up, breastfeed, then get Future ready for school,” she said of her older son Future Zahir Wilburn, whom she shares with rapper Future. “Then after I take him to school, come back and work out. Then after I work out, breastfeed and go back and get Future from school. Come back and breastfeed, then go work out again.”

Ciara has yet to share the details of her current weight-loss plan, but fans are confident she’ll be back to her old body in no time.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
