Coleen Nolan has opened up about her recent weight-loss journey after revealing that she has lost an impressive 3.5 stone and dropped from a size 20 to a size 14.
The 61-year-old Loose Women star has been working with weight-management company Voy and recently showed off her slimmer figure in a glamorous blue silk dress paired with gold heels. Coleen has said that the changes have made a noticeable difference to how she feels, particularly when it comes to her energy levels and ongoing back problems.
Earlier this year, she explained that she feels much better physically and has more energy. She also said that she is now focused on maintaining her weight rather than losing more, describing her goal as developing a healthier relationship with food and with herself.
Coleen's journey has also come with criticism from social media users. She revealed that she previously faced cruel comments about being overweight, while more recently some people have accused her of losing too much weight.
Her decision to focus on her health was partly influenced by being told she was pre-diabetic following a blood test. She described the diagnosis as a wake-up call and said it motivated her to make changes to her diet and lifestyle.
Although Coleen is working with a company that promotes weight-loss injections, she has not clearly confirmed whether she personally uses weight-loss medication. Instead, she has highlighted medical guidance, nutrition support, coaching and mindset work as important parts of her journey.
