Beyoncé revealed in her documentary, Homecoming, how much work went into her iconic 2018 Coachella performance. It marked the superstar’s return to the stage after giving birth to twins Rumi and Sir in June 2017. But before she could jump on stage for a thrilling performance, the “Love On Top” singer was dedicated to dropping the baby weight and getting back in shape. In a new video, she revealed how much she weighed before she went on her diet and fitness journey.

“Just trying to figure out how to balance being a mother of a 6-year-old and of twins that need me — and giving myself creatively and physically, it was a lot to juggle,” she said. “It’s not like before when I could rehearse for 15 hours straight. I have children. I have a husband. I have to take care of my body. I definitely pushed myself further than I knew I could. And I learned a very valuable lesson. I will never, never push myself that far again.”
