Former star of The Bachelorette Trista Sutter is the first to admit what every new mom knows: Taking off the baby weight is really hard work. And for Trista, who gained about 50 pounds before giving birth to her second child in April, getting back to her pre-pregnancy weight of 108 pounds was a major accomplishment.

"It was harder to lose weight this time around," Trista told Life & Style while showing off her new body on Sept. 22. "I gained 10 more pounds this time" with Blakesley, 6 months, than with Max, now 2.

To help her shed the pounds, Trista got a boost from six daily Abdominal Cuts supplements (pictured above), a complex of healthy oils that replaces bad fat, especially in the midsection. To learn more, check out http://www.revolutionlifestyle.com/!

But it wasn't all work. Having the opportunity to exercise (which Trista started doing about 2½ months after her Caesarean section) is something Trista considers a good thing for her body -- and a way to relax her mind and get away from everyday stress. "I'm in mommy mode all day long, so to have an hour to myself four times a week to just
sweat it out is a little relief for me," Trista, 36, tells Life & Style.

And she doesn't even have to trek to the gym: Sometimes she meets her trainer, Brock Fetch, at her house. "My routine is a mix of cardio and interval resistance training," says Trista.With Fetch's help, Trista focuses on her core by doing moves like lunges while balancing on disks.

"For obvious reasons, my abs were the one area that didn't jump right back into position after I had Blakesley, so I'm still really focused on working on them and getting more toned," she says. "I want to put on even more lean muscle and replace the fatty tissue."

Since the healthy delivery of daughter Blakesley Grace Sutter on April 3, former The Bachelorette stars Trista and Ryan have been overjoyed about their new addition. The family opened up its home to Life & Style recently to talk about the birth, adjusting to having a new baby in the house -- and the life-changing decision Trista and Ryan made about having more children.

L&S: When Max was born, you had to be put under general anesthesia to have an emergency C-section. How were things different this time around?
Trista: This birth was so much easier. Blakesley was born three weeks early, and I did have another C-section, but I didn't need general anesthesia. I just walked into the hospital and put my gown on, and then my doctor came in and said, "Okay, it's time." I didn't know you could just walk into the delivery room, because the last time, I was wheeled in on a hospital bed!

L&S: What was the best part of the delivery?
Trista: Being able to hear her cry when she came out and then seeing her right away. With Max, I was under, and I didn't wake up until several hours later. But this time I was able to hear her first cry and see Ryan there too.

L&S: How did you come up with the name Blakesley?
Trista: It's a family name. Ryan really loved the name Grace. At first we were calling her Gracie, but then we decided to stick with Blakesley.

L&S: How much sleep are you guys getting?
Trista: Not so much! I mean, she's a pretty good sleeper and sometimes sleeps for four or five hours at a time. But mostly, she's up every two hours from the time she feeds. I try to take little naps when she sleeps. I also try to sneak in some sleep when Max is with Grandma or taking his own nap. Any new parent will tell you it's hard, but it's expected. And it's a small price to pay to have her. It's definitely worth it.

L&S: You and Ryan are the only couple from the Bachelor and Bachelorette shows to make it to the altar and start a family. What's your secret?
Trista: You know, it's so hard to say. I will acknowledge that it's difficult. You meet under these crazy circumstances, and then you get separated for three months, which was super hard. And I think some people just think they're ready and then when they see the person again, they realize those feelings just aren't there. I didn't set out to be the only Bachelorette to get married. I just feel lucky and blessed that my life turned out this way.

The Bachelor's Melissa Rycroft, who's competing on Dancing with the Stars, can count The Bachelorette star and former DWTS contestant Trista Sutter as one of her supporters. "I'm a huge fan and think it's the absolute perfect thing for her to do now!" Trista said. "She's a dancer, so hopefully that will give her a little advantage since she has missed out on lots of the training time. As a vet of the show (if only pathetically for a couple weeks), I've told her that America will embrace her, so hopefully she'll get everyone voting for her and can enjoy the experience a lot longer than me!"

Former Bachelorette Trista Sutter and hubby Ryan are thrilled to announce exclusively to Life & Style that they're expecting again!! After a year of joy with adorable son Max, who celebrated his 1st birthday on July 26, the pair are ready to do it all over again! Sharing the joyous news of their second pregnancy with Life & Style, Trista, who's just more than three months along, and Ryan express their excitement and fears about what this pregnancy will bring:

L&S: How soon after Max's July 2007 birth did you start trying again?
Trista: I was only on birth control for a couple of months. We thought that if it took us as long as it did with Max -- two years -- why try to prevent it? So we started trying in January.

L&S: Were you surprised you were able to get pregnant so quickly?
Trista: I was in total shock! I took a few tests, and they all came back negative. But a few weeks after Max's 1st birthday, all of a sudden I thought to myself, I don't think I've had my period in a while. So I took another test -- the line was extremely faint, but it was there!

L&S: Did you tell Ryan right away?
Trista: He was there. I had just taken the test when Ryan came up the stairs. I showed it to him and said, "I think I'm pregnant." His first words were, "Holy crap!" It was positive shock, one of the best kinds you can have in your life.

L&S: After Max's birth, you said you'd love to have a little girl. If you don't have one this time, will you and Ryan keep trying?
Trista: I did say that -- I'm such a girlie girl. But I've become really neutral about it all. I just want a really happy and healthy baby. I know that sounds cliché, but it's the God's honest truth. I would love to have a little girl, but I also love having a boy. Ryan has a brother, and they're about the same age difference as Max will be with his new sibling. So it would be fun to have two boys, too.

L&S: So if you have another boy, will this baby be the last?
Trista: If we don't have a girl, I've thought about the possibility of adopting. It came up in conversation because I'm leaning toward having my tubes tied! I think I'll be happy with two kids. But then again, I was perfectly happy with just having Max. If we hadn't been able to get pregnant again, I was 100 percent happy with my life. This new baby will just add a little bit more life and spirit and happiness and fun!
