Blake Lively Bragging About Her 61-Pound Post-Baby Weight Loss Sparks Heated Mom Debate
In a classic episode of "Celebrities: They're Just Like Us," actress Blake Lively boasted about her post-baby weight loss -- and for good reason. The 30-year-old actress revealed she shed 61 pounds 14 months after the birth of her second child with Ryan Reynolds, which didn't come easy. While many are applauding Blake's efforts, others are rolling their eyes as she had access to a personal trainer -- sparking a debate about celebrity moms and "normal" moms.
Blake recently took to Instagram to share a pic looking all sorts of fit with her trainer -- revealing she finally lost the 61 pounds she gained during her second pregnancy.
"Turns out you can't lose the 61 lbs you gained during pregnancy by just scrolling through Instagram and wondering why you don't look like all the bikini models," Lively writes in her Instagram post. "Thanks @donsaladino for kickin my A double S into shape. 10 months to gain, 14 months to lose. Feeling very proud."
