Blake Lively shows off 61-pound weight loss

Blake Lively has shed a staggering 61 pounds since giving birth to daughter Ines in September 2016.

The actress, 30, revealed her impressive toned stomach on Instagram as she worked out with her personal trainer, Don Saladino.

Looking stunning in a black sports bra and skintight leggings, Lively rested her arm on Saladino’s shoulder and gazed at him with admiration.

She captioned the shot: “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. Thanks @donsaladino for kickin my A double S into shape. 10 months to gain, 14 months to lose. Feeling very proud 💪😁💪.”

Saladino also spoke of his pride in Lively, after her dedication to his grueling workouts transformed her body.

In another snap, Lively flexed her arms and smiled at the camera.

Saladino wrote: “Couldn’t be more proud @blakelively! 61 pounds in 14 months after baby number 2!”
