A beautician who shed eight stone has shared her top tips for New Year weight loss – including getting rid of Christmas chocolate and taking ‘before’ pictures in your undies. Sinead McCarthy, 31, tipped the scales at 20st at her heaviest but slimmed down to 12st after committing to a diet plan eating 1,700 calories a day and doing 10,000 steps.
Sinead has shared her top tips for people looking to shed some pounds in January – including binning any temptations and doing steps while watching the TV. She said losing weight is all about a lifestyle change and that ‘quick fixes and crazy diets’ don’t work.
Sinead said: "Getting started after Christmas can be hard but I say just take one day at a time. If you are making a New Year’s resolution don’t think too far into the future wishing you were a certain size or weight.
