First Dates star Cici Coleman has impressed her Instagram followers after sharing snaps of her impressive weight loss transformation.
The TV waitress and fitness coach shared progress photos taken only three months apart, flaunting her svelte figure in two different bikinis.
The health expert also shared some wise words with fans about shedding stubborn weight. The post caption read: "Weight loss is not linear.
"There are so many factors as to why the scales can vary so much week to week," revealing that things such as hormones, stress and water retention can play a role in unwanted weight gain, reports the Daily Star.
Sharing the highs and lows of her weight loss journey, Cici advised that "You have got to trust in the process," explaining how you slim down in two phases - rapid and slow.
She wrote: "The first stage of weight loss is when you tend to lose the most weight and begin to notice changes in your appearance and how your clothes fit. It usually happens within the first 4–6 weeks."
Cici continued: "Weight loss in the second stage occurs at a much slower rate, but it primarily comes from body fat, generally after 6 weeks and beyond. At times, you may experience a weight loss plateau during which you experience little to no weight loss.
"This is why “crash diets” never last. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, patience and consistency is needed. Patience and consistency are two significant ingredients to keep you on track", she concluded.
Earlier this year, Cici credited a change in diet as the reason behind her weight loss, revealing she had seen results without even going into the gym.
She wrote: "I didn't want my weight loss journey to take over my life; I've been there in the past, and it was just soooo boring. I wanted to live whilst creating long-term healthy habit changes.
"I have tried to incorporate a new healthy habit each week, from 10k steps daily, celery juicing, to reducing my sugar intake.
"These things alone haven't dropped my kgs, but they have helped get my mindset right. Small habit changes can make a big difference to your overall health and well-being."
