Lorraine Kelly shows off 1.5 stone weight loss in staggering before and after snaps

Lorraine Kelly says she feels 'happier and healthier' after her incredible weight loss journey saw her lose one and a half stone.

The TV presenter announced she has dropped two dress sizes and is feeling fantastic.

The 62-year-old showed off her newly slimmed-down figure in a tight pink dress alongside a before shot of her noticeably fuller self tucking into huge pizza.

The Scottish born star, who has followed the Weight Watchers programme, said: ''Wow I cant believe both pictures are me!! I've dropped two dress sizes - I've lost a stone and a half - and the best part of all, I'm finding it easy to keep it off - all thanks to @ww.uk."

The telly fave said she had achieved her goal by using the Weight Watchers app and encouraging her to try to cook more healthy recipes.

She explained: "The app helps me track what I'm eating, how much sleep I'm getting and what exercise I'm doing, as well as making sure I drink enough water and giving me lots of delicious recipes to cook (or at least try haha!).

'I feel happier and healthier and I love sharing my experiences with the WW community.

The broadcaster told how she gradually slipped into unhealthy eating habits in lockdown and after Christmas, and has gone from 11st 10lbs to 10st 3lbs since January.

And the breakfast television legend admits her weakness for reaching for confectionary and 'croissants' or 'buns' left her with an unwanted fuller figure.

But by following Weight Watchers she said she found an increased energy and used a red carpet awards do as motivation for making the change.

She said while there's nothing wrong with being a size 16, slimming down helped her wear a smaller dress to the Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards 2022 earlier this year where she presented an award.

And although Lorraine is thrilled about her new slimmer figure she admits the added bonus has been a renewed 'zest for life' with husband Steve Smith.

She explained: "Steve says, 'I've got you back,' because my energy levels have improved."

The pair are looking to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary in September and although they may have a party rather than renew their wedding vows, she would fit into her wedding dress once again.
