Lorraine implemented some changes after ‘piling on the pounds’
Lorraine Kelly, the unofficial Queen of Daytime television, has often been open about her weight loss journey. The 65-year-old said she joined WW, formerly Weight Watchers, in 2022 after gaining weight during lockdown.
After a few months on the plan, she was able to fit back into her wedding dress from 30 years ago and claimed to be “ready for anything”. She has also credited Zumba classes with helping her lose two stone.
While holidaying in Spain, she shared with her Instagram followers that she had attended a class, saying: “It was fantastic, but I’m absolutely sweating. It was so good though, I think you’ve got to do exercise that you really enjoy, and that was amazing”.
In an interview with Hello! magazine, Lorraine revealed her “weight loss secrets”, saying: “Just before joining WW, I really needed help to get fit again after piling on the pandemic pounds. I also no longer eat large pizzas! Nothing is off-limits, but a slice is more than enough these days. Using the WW app, I can easily find the points value of every type of food imaginable, even in restaurants while on holiday.
“I’ve been drinking lots of water and sleeping really well too and my favourite thing is that there’s a WW community and we all support each other online. It’s all about feeling fit and healthy and I have so much more energy now and feel a lot more confident.”
In an honest interview with the Independent last year, Lorraine said she would never do a fad diet. She said: “I think it’s crazy in January all of a sudden to say, ‘I’m going for a 10-mile run’, or going on a stupid, faddy diet, because they don’t work. We know diets don’t work, you will lose weight, but you’ll just put it all back on again because it’s not sustainable.”
“It’s great to have goals but make it realistic. Because so many people towards the end of [January] are just like, ‘Oh forget it’, and that’s sad.”
