New mums shape up!

Danielle’s lost two stone!

 Danielle Lloyd is so keen to get back into her size 8 jeans, she’s already shed nearly 2st since giving birth to son Archie three weeks ago.

Danielle, who’s 5ft 8in, gained 2st while she was pregnant, going from a size 8-10 and 9st to just over 11st. Before giving birth she insisted she wouldn’t be rushing to lose her baby weight, but pals say she felt so uncomfortable with how her body changed while pregnant that, by the final weeks, she became determined to shape up fast.

A pal says: “Dani’s hell-bent on getting a size 8 figure and being the ultimate yummy mummy! She lost a stone from giving birth and her target, which she hit, was to have lost a further 10lbs by last weekend. This only leaves her 5lbs to burn off with an intensive protein-only plan.

“But her mum’s warned her it would be silly to crash diet, especially since the last time Dani crash dieted she put on weight when she got bored and couldn’t keep it up.”

Danielle has also told friends she’s considering hiring a personal trainer.

While she was pregnant Danielle, who is engaged to footballer Jamie O’Hara, confessed she was pleased she hadn’t put on as much weight as expected.

She said: “I’m really lucky that I haven’t gained much weight with my pregnancy even though I’ve mainly been craving chocolate and fatty foods.

“I thought I’d get a really fat face but most of my weight has gone on my belly and bum. I’m a lot more flabby all over, but I love the way I look and Jamie likes me whatever shape I am.”

Carly’s back to a size 8

She only gave birth four months ago, but Carly Cole, 26, is already back to her pre-pregnancy weight of around 8st.

Former fitness instructor Carly, who’s 5ft 6, showed off her enviable size 8 figure – and incredibly toned tummy – last week as she went shopping in Liverpool with her new daughter Ruby.

Carly – who put on around 2st while pregnant – and husband Joe have moved to Merseyside, because he’s transferred to Liverpool, and pals say she is keen to look as good as the other Liverpool WAGS. The pair are currently staying in a hotel and friends say Carly’s been packing in the exercise sessions at the hotel’s gym.

A source says: “Although she didn’t put on much weight, she’s toned her stomach quickly with Pilates and weights. She’s still breastfeeding, which is great for weight loss, and she’s eating healthily. Plus, as a new mum she’s using lots of energy. She’s happy with her figure.”

Denise : ‘I still want to tone my tum!’

She looks incredible after giving birth to daughter Betsy three months ago – but Denise Van Outen has admitted she’s still keen to tone up even more!

After having Betsy by Caesarean in May, Denise, 36, had to wait six weeks before exercising. She then started working with personal trainer Nikki Waterman, by powerwalking and toning her abs, thighs and bum. She’s almost lost the 2st she put on while pregnant, and is back in size 10 clothes.

Now Denise, who’s married to West End star Lee Mead, 29, wants to tone her tum so she can feel good in a bikini on holiday. She said: “I’m going away at some point but I’ve not tried a bikini on yet. I’d feel self-conscious. But I’m not putting any pressure on myself. I’m just pleased to be a mum.”

Pals say Denise wants to return to her pre-pregnancy figure before she tries for another baby. A source says: “She wants to be in good shape before getting pregnant again as she knows it will be even harder to shift the weight again if she isn’t.”
