I’m Done Slacking Off!

Kim Kardashian vows to lose 18 pounds after jumping from 116 to 134 in a year

Kim Kardashian was keeping it real. While addressing fans in an Instagram Story on Nov. 2, the reality star revealed she’s gained 18 pounds over the course of the past year. “Sometimes you fall off,” she said of the setback during an evening workout session with her trainer, Melissa Alcantara. “Sometimes you really have to get it together.”

And that’s exactly what Kim’s doing. “She’s really focused on getting back to her goal weight, to a place where she feels totally fit and comfortable with her body,” a source tells In Touch. The jump from 116 pounds to 134 has taken a toll on her confidence level, and the mom of four is serious about slimming down before her 40th birthday in October. “Kim knows it’s her eating,” a source says of the 5-foot-3 beauty mogul, who’s determined to clean up her diet and double her efforts in the gym. “I just want to get to a really good goal weight,” Kim says. “That means working out at all costs.”

NO PAIN, NO GAIN

She’s also on a mission to curb her cravings for junk food. In April, Kim revealed she was eating a mostly plant-based diet, posting photos of an acai bowl topped with fruit and a sea moss smoothie. But then she began overindulging in go-to faves like ice cream and Dunkaroos. “Having four kids doesn’t help,” says the source. “She’s always snacking on their food.”

Those days are over, and with her hard-core trainer, Melissa, by her side, Kim could hit her goal weight a lot sooner than next October. “I like to work out with her sometimes,” says Melissa, 34. “I feel like that gets her into it, and she sees that I’m working just as hard as she is. I’m like, ‘Listen, if you’re gonna die, I’m gonna die, we’re both gonna die.’ ” ◼

GYM RATS “We’re both up at 6 o’clock in the morning,” says Kim’s trainer, Melissa.

NOW “She loves food,” a source says of Kim, looking fuller in LA in September.

BEFORE Kim was rocking her best body last October when she was working out six days a week and eating mostly low-carb, plant-based meals.
