KEVIN Federline decided to do shape up after growing tired of people mocking his weight.

Federline — the father of Britney Spears‘ two young sons — tipped the scales at 240 lbs at his heaviest and was embarrassed when he was labeled ‘K- Fat’.

“I looked pregnant,” the former dancer told Entertainment Tonight.

“It was upsetting. It’s [usually] easy for me to brush stuff off of my shoulder. [But] when I see a pictures [of me] like that, and people are calling me ‘K- Fat,’ I had to do something about it.”

Federline says he piled on the pounds when he stopped exercising and started eating too much.

“I loved to eat pizza and pasta,” he says, “so between not working out, and turning 30 years old, [the weight] started coming on real fast. I had my own mother telling me she’s worried about my health.”

“I couldn’t run around with my children as much,” he says, “and was being lazy and over-eating. I’ve always been a fit guy, so those were wake-up calls for me.”

Federline has now signed up for VH1′s Celebrity Fit Club 7: Boot Camp, which premieres Feb. 8.
