Matt Mattei (44), the proud husband, uploaded photos of his wife’s fitness journey after she gave birth to their child. She managed to lose 30 kg in only 10 months.
His wife Danielle, like many mothers, was not satisfied with her looks when she gave birth to her second daughter. She weighed 70 kg before pregnancy, but after the second birth she got to 89 kg.
However, she wasn’t pleased with her excess weight and after three months she started training.
Danielle began breastfeeding which she did for about eight months. She also started training hard at the same time by usually balancing cardio with weight training.
‘I am very blessed to have a husband that supported my journey. ‘My husband and I prepared our food on Sundays for the whole week. I think this is very important in not stumbling with food. It becomes easy to mess up your diet otherwise.’ I do not believe in starvation and strict diets, but in a proper, well-balanced healthynutrition accompaniedwith, of course, a lot of physical activity’ – the attractive mum said.
She explained that she ate 5-6 times a day. She consumed lots of proteins and some carbs depending on when she is working out.
– ‘I think I’m one of the few lucky ones who have a husband who stood by me and gave me absolute support during my weight loss journey. He was able to watch both kids while I trained for a few hours a day,’ she said.
‘He was of huge help and I felt much better not only physically, but also mentally compared to the period when I was not doing any exercise’ – Danielle explained.
Thanks to her determination, and the support of her husband, Danielle now weighs a phenomenal 58 kilograms and she had added muscles that every girl who didn’t give birth will envy.
