Shaughna Phillips, a fan-favorite from Love Island 2020, has left her followers in awe after sharing her remarkable weight loss journey. The reality TV star, who welcomed her daughter Lucia earlier this year, recently revealed she has lost an impressive five stone by focusing on healthy eating and a balanced lifestyle.
Sharing Her Transformation
In a recent Instagram post, Shaughna Phillips shared side-by-side photos of herself wearing the same outfit from 14 months ago and now, showcasing her dramatic transformation. Captioning the post, she wrote: “I won’t lie, I still can’t believe either of those people are me! The real secret that no one told me before was you don’t need to exercise your ass off (thank god!). I’ve been doing workouts, but only after I’d done no exercise AT ALL for a month.”
Focus on Metabolism
Shaughna Phillips credited her weight loss success to following a plan designed by a dietitian. She explained: “I was told I needed to reset my metabolism. So I just followed her eating plan for a month and only then started exercising again. The workouts I do are these fun combat routines that are only 12 minutes long.”
The star has also compiled her learnings into a ‘shred-it plan’ for fans looking to embark on their own health journeys.
Overwhelming Support from Fans
Fans were quick to flood the comments with praise and encouragement. One follower wrote, “Absolutely smashed it girly!! Love to hear about you doing it for health reasons,” while another added, “Well done, you look amazing.”
Reflecting on Her Journey
This isn’t the first time Shaughna Phillips has opened up about her body transformation. In April, she shared previous ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures, reflecting on her progress and struggles with body image.
At the time, she admitted: “So this has been happening… I’ll be honest even I’m shocked. So glad I’ve been taking pictures because honestly, when I look in the mirror, I don’t see any difference. Your mind is your biggest enemy sometimes!”
She continued: “I’ve spoken openly about struggling with my body image since I was a little girl (breaks my heart to even say that), so to be told I was seriously overweight at a doctor’s appointment wasn’t great. This hasn’t been overnight, and I still have a way to go. There’s been weeks where I’ve found it so easy, and then there’s been months where I’ve seen no change. I’m really trying to find what works for me, and I think I’m nearly there.”
Inspiring Others
Shaughna’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, healthy lifestyle changes, and self-compassion. By sharing her struggles and triumphs, she continues to inspire her fans to prioritize their health, both mentally and physically.
