This caused the 29-year-old to balloon to 12st 8lbs and a UK dress size of 12-14.
She explained: I lost all motivation to eat healthy and I didnt exercise during both of my pregnancies. I didnt feel so bad because I knew that I will get back to my previous weight, but I never knew that my shape would be better than before my pregnancies.
I wasnt comfortable in my bigger size since Ive always been quite skinny and I always wanted to look more fit and strong.
After the birth of her second son, Malin was determined to lose the weight and began to add strength training to her exercise regime.

Before Malin got pregnant, she would hardly do any exercise and says the introduction of strength training has changed the shape of her body. She now weighs8st 11Ibs and eats around 2,200 to 2,500 calories per day.
