Chantelle Houghton, the former Big Brother star, recently revealed her impressive weight loss transformation, shedding two stone (about 28 pounds) in just six weeks.
Despite having previously expressed contentment with her curvy figure, Chantelle decided to embark on a weight loss journey, which she detailed in her column for new! magazine.
At 30 years old, Chantelle followed a strict diet and exercise plan in collaboration with The Sun newspaper. Her motivation came largely from her one-year-old daughter, Dolly, who she shares with her estranged fiancé, Alex Reid. Chantelle mentioned that Dolly has been a major source of inspiration, and she’s eager to be a good role model for her.
She explained how her daughter finds it amusing when she exercises, as Dolly giggles while watching her mom do squats and press-ups in the garden. This connection between her fitness and being a positive influence for her daughter helped keep Chantelle motivated throughout her transformation.
In addition to exercise, Chantelle changed her eating habits. She emphasized eating plenty of fruits and vegetables while reducing her intake of protein and carbohydrates. By sticking to this healthy diet and working out regularly, Chantelle quickly saw results. She admitted that the process wasn’t always easy, but she’s proud of what she’s achieved. Chantelle is now close to her pre-pregnancy weight, which she said is a significant accomplishment.
To maintain her new figure, Chantelle plans to treat herself to some skinny jeans and stop wearing her usual leggings. She believes that by wearing tighter clothing, she’ll be more conscious of her weight and stay motivated not to slip back into old habits.
In her recent public appearance at Lakeside shopping center in Essex, Chantelle proudly displayed her slimmer figure. She was seen wearing a black top, skinny jeans, a cropped jacket, and sparkly flats. During her shopping trip, she stopped by the Apple store, where she purchased a MacBook Air and a printer, appearing pleased with her shopping spree.
Chantelle also shared that part of her motivation to lose weight stemmed from negative comments about her appearance. She had been compared to comedian Johnny Vegas, and those remarks pushed her to take control of her health. Now, she feels much better and is determined to keep up her healthy lifestyle for herself and her daughter.
