The reality TV star welcomed son Saint into the world on December 5 and has admitted she is determined to lose the 60lbs she gained while she was pregnant with her and husband Kanye West's second child.

Speaking to her step-father Caitlyn Jenner on a live stream on her app and website, she said: "This feels like a really hard recovery but we will get through it. Everyone does it."

Kim - who also has two-year-old daughter North with the rapper - revealed she weighed just over 9st when she fell pregnant with Saint and went up to 13st 7lb towards the end of her pregnancy.

But when Caitlyn complimented her on her weight loss the 35-year-old beauty admitted she is "feeling much better".

Despite shedding more than a stone since she had Saint, Kim insisted before his birth that she wanted to take her time ditching her baby weight.

In a post on her website, she wrote: "A few weeks to go and 60 pounds up! I look at other celebrities and Instagram girls who are literally so skinny right after giving birth. How is that possible?!?!

"I mean, I'm focused and I love the challenge of getting my body back and feeling good again, BUT I am going to be a little bit more realistic. I'm not saying anyone is being unhealthy or not doing it the right way, but how do they lose weight and look so good so fast?! (sic)"
