After giving birth to her daughter Novalee Reign more than 4 months ago, Catelynn Lowell is ready to get serious about shedding the baby weight. The “Teen Mom OG” star struggled with her nearly 60 pound weight gain on the MTV reality series.

With her August wedding date creeping closer and closer, Catelynn is trying new methods to whip her body back into pre-baby shape. The reality star shared an Instagram photo Monday of her wearing a black waist trainer. The 23-year-old said she was “thinking about” trying the popular weight loss method.

Catelynn struggled with her weight throughout much of this season of “Teen Mom OG.” In a recent episode, which aired May 18, she revealed that she had lost 20 pounds. Unfortunately for her she still needed to drop four dress sizes before she was truly wedding-ready. Her fiancé Tyler Baltierra tried several times to interject, suggesting that she diet or hit the gym, but Catelynn found his advice more hurtful than helpful. Lowell told her future hubby his constant criticism made her “not want to” diet or exercise even more.

He and Catelynn butted heads on the matter several times throughout the season, but worked through it. Tyler has since taken to Twitter to clear up any and all misconceptions about his suggestions. He claimed his “intention is never to hurt” his fiancée.

Catelynn isn’t the only “Teen Mom” who has turned to waist training recently. Kailyn Lowry and Jenelle Evans have both championed for the controversial fad. Outside of the MTV network, celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Amber Rose and Snooki have also been seen rocking waist training corsets.
