2013 was dedicated to motherhood and getting back into shape for several hot mommies. There was a race for mommies to look good after giving birth and return to shape the fastest.

From the social butterfly Kim Kardashian to royal mommy Kate Middleton, all these new mommies were promoting their diet plans and how soon they could outdo each other to look good and shed some extra pounds. So who did the best in 2013, let's take a look:

  1. Kate Middleton - Royal Baby Prince George of Cambridge was born in July. Everyone wowed at Kate's attitude of not hiding her tummy in the famous blue polka dot gown worn when she and Prince William introduced George to the world. But one month down the line, Kate appeared in public again as her tummy just vanished. She appeared like her older self wearing glamorous dresses and looked like one hot mommy without the tummy. This was the fastest anyone could lose weight after giving birth. So hats off to Kate Middleton for her supreme efforts.

  2. Kim Kardashian - The socialite mommy was in no hurry to get back to shape after giving birth to Baby North West in June. She enjoyed her weight gain and showed off ample cleavage at various occasions after a month of delivering Baby Nori. She was breastfeeding Nori, which made her breasts appear huge and did not miss any chance of showing them off. However she also focused on losing weight and was a regular in the gym even on Christmas eve. Kim's efforts paid off flaunting her envious figure sometime in Twitter and Instagram where she wore a barely bikini. Kim may not be as slim as before after giving birth to Nori but she is getting there.

  3. Beyonce - The diva gave birth to Blue Ivy last year. But in 2013, she was back to her pre-baby figure and looked glamorous and sexy, thanks to her rigorous dancing schedule and world tour. The weight she gained during pregnancy was lost in 2013 and wowed her fans with her personal holiday pictures donning a bikini.

  4. Shakira - The "Hips Don't Lie" singer gave birth to her son in January 2013 but we could see the 36-year-old in bikinis and revealing dresses while she enjoyed a holiday with her family. She showed off wonderful figure a few months after giving birth and credited her lovely figure to Pilates, yoga and controlled diet.

  5. Halle Berry - She is one hot actress and a second time mommy. The Bond girl is on mommy duty once again after giving birth to a baby boy in October. The Oscar winning actress already has a five-year-old daughter Nahla and she bounced back immediately after giving birth. Let's see how much time Berry will take this year to regain her pre-baby figure. Let's wait and see.
