While there are millions of happy mothers all over the world, delighted with their new-born bundle of joy, it is fair to say that many of these women are also quite unhappy, as they feel like they are never going to be able to lose the added baby weight they have gained during the course of their pregnancy.

Which brings us to the beautiful Hollywood star Blake Lively, who gave birth to her second child, with husband Ryan Reynolds, 16 months ago and she has revealed that she has been working hard to get the weight off. Blake says that she managed to gain an extra 61 pounds during her pregnancy and says that it has taken her 14 months to shed the weight.
Lively took to her official Instagram account to share a picture with her millions of fans and followers all over the world, of just how great she is now looking, along with the caption, "Turns out you can't lose the 61 lbs you gained during pregnancy by just scrolling through instragram and wondering why you don't look like all the bikini models. Thanks @donsaladino for kickin my A double S into shape. 10 months to gain, 14 months to lose. Feeling very proud (sic)."

Well we definitely think the hard work and dedication has paid off, as Blake Lively looks as hot now as she ever has done and we are glad to see her back on the big screen on a regular basis, with plenty of new movie projects lined up for the coming years, including her next film A Simple Favor which is due to open later in the year.
