Lorraine Kelly made changes to her lifestyle after gaining weight
TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has been candid about her journey towards a healthier way of life in recent years.
The 66-year-old “Queen of Daytime television” previously admitted she, like countless others, felt disheartened after piling on the pounds during lockdown. In 2022, Lorraine signed up to WW, formerly Weight Watchers, and after just a few months following the programme, she claimed to be “ready for anything”. She was also able to squeeze back into her wedding dress from 30 years prior, and has attributed a particular type of exercise class with helping her shed two stone.
She previously shared with her Instagram followers that she had just finished a Zumba 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”.
Opening up about her “weight loss secrets”, Lorraine told Hello! magazine: “When I was in Spain back at the start of the year 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 a 2023 interview with the Independent, Lorraine made her feelings clear about fad diets, saying: “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.”
