Towie's Danielle Armstrong shows off incredible weight loss after giving birth last year
Danielle Armstrong has shown off her incredible weight loss journey – just over a year after she gave birth to her second child, Una Rae. The Only Way Is Essex star gave fans a peek of her amazing results as she explained that seeing her body transform was “the best feeling”.
In a video uploaded to Instagram, 36 year old Danielle could be seen trying on a pair of blue jeans prior to embarking on her weight loss journey. As she struggled to do up the button, the TV personality expressed her sadness, as she said: “Like devo. That’s a great look.”
However, in a later clip, Danielle sported the same pair of jeans and was this time able to do up the zip and button. As she rocked the jeans, the mum-of-two opened up about the journey that she’d been on after giving birth to baby Una, who she shares with husband Tom Edney, in July 2023.

“Honestly, how mad is it when you look back at the comparison? Like, this is why it’s so important for anyone that’s on any kind of weight loss journey, by the way. Take your photos, video it. You want to just hide them away. I’ve actually got them in my phone in my hidden, so that I can’t even see them at the time when I’m going through that hard bit when you don’t feel like yourself, you know what you can be like,” she explained.
“Because when I fell pregnant with Una, it was just after our wedding, our honeymoon, when I was feeling my best. So when I was looking at pictures of how I was feeling after I had Una, you know, gaining three and a half stone, and just not feeling good in myself.

"Obviously I love being a mum, but it does massively take a toll. Always pregnancy takes a toll on my body, I literally just go like that, I balloon, my face, and it does take me a good six to nine months to start feeling myself and I believe a full year until you’re back to feeling like you again.”
Captioning the motivational video, Danielle also encouraged her followers to not get caught up by the number on the scales. Instead she revealed that the real transformation is about how you feel on the inside.
“For anyone that’s on a weight-loss journey… Make sure you document and take videos and photos,” she began. “It’s the best feeling when you can visually see your body transform. Yes I know many people judge their progress by the number they see on the scales, but for me the most important part and what I tell my clients is to go by how you look and feel.”
She continued: “The number of scales does not reflect your progress. Our weight fluctuates all the time due to water, sleep, hormones, menstrual cycle and unless your using scales that can show %body fat / water / muscle mass then the number you see you think is “fat” is actually not right.”
In response to the clip, Danielle’s followers flocked to the comments section to gush over the star’s transformation and hard work. “What an amazing transformation well done xxx,” wrote one. “You look amazing, well done on all your hard work. X,” another added.
