Susanna Reid has shared how she lost an impressive 1.5 stone without stepping foot into the gym.
Just like many of us, the Good Morning Britain presenter admitted that she had piled on the pounds a bit due to the pandemic lockdown. Speaking to fitness guru Joe Wicks she said that she found it difficult to shift the excess weight.
She said: "I found it really hard to shift those pounds. What is the problem when there are so many workout plans, so many nutrition plans, what is the reason for that?"

However, since then she seems to have found her own ways of losing weight. Rather than going to the gym like most on a fitness kick would, she decided to avoid it completely instead.
Speaking to former co-host, Piers Morgan, Susanna said: "I stopped going to the gym, I found it made me too hungry. I've levelled out, I lost a stone-and-a-half and that's enough, and I don't go to the gym."
Back in 2019, Susanna told the magazine Prima how her weight loss journey started when she'd seen the GP about skin problems. Her doctor said the star was at the top end of her height's BMI and recommended she lose weight.
Susanna set out to eat healthier and cut out snacks amid her busy work schedule, noting that she feels 'fantastic'. She told the outlet: "This time last year, I went to the doctor with a skin problem and he told me I could do with losing some weight.
"It turned out I was at the upper end of my BMI and, I have to admit, I'd been feeling a little heavy for a while. I've lost a stone and a half since then and I feel fantastic."
Susanna is a pescatarian - meaning that she eats fish but no other meat - and she stopped drinking alcohol in 2019 as it left her literally scarred. She said drinking aggravated her skin, causing the blood vessels on her face to burst, which led to permanent scarring.
She told The Times: "I gave up because a doctor told me to. I was concerned because my skin was flushed, I kept getting flare-ups and blemishes, and they were leaving red scars. My skin was probably a manifestation of what I was putting into my body."
