Lorraine Kelly confirms her weight loss tricks after dropping two dress sizes

Popular Scottish television presenter Lorraine Kelly has taken to social media to share her happiness at losing a stone and a half of weight.

The ITV star was left thrilled she could share off her svelte figure after working with Weight Watchers (now known as WW) to help reach her health goals.

The 62-year-old, who has her own daytime television show, shared that during lockdown she went from a size 10 to a 14 which impacted her confidence and caused her to miss events, Wales Online reports.

The presenter has been doing a terrific job ever since, however, and now says that she feels she is "healthier and happier" in her recent post.

She has said that her weight loss isn't a result of cutting things out completely, and instead has come as she becomes more aware and mindful of what she eats.

Lorraine told the Mirror she needed "a bit of help" in February, so signed up to WW.

She has now met the goal that she set, telling her 494k followers: "GOAL REACHED! Lost one and a half stone!Feel healthier and happier Thank you @ww.uk and @wwsuzystirfry."

Celebrity Ambassador Coach Suzy Stirlin also shared the news on Instagram, telling her thousands of followers: "oweeee! What a day! Please join me in congratulating @lorrainekellysmith for getting to Goal and reaching WW GOLD STATUS!!!
