“It's telling myself ‘you're beautiful!’ I think it's so important to tell yourself that every day and believe it, and know that you're amazing, and know that you're incredible and that there is only one of you. That's what's special,” she told Glamour UK.

2. She Said She’s Gone Vegan

Pinnock has said she’s gone vegan, avoiding animal products. “According to Harvard Medical School, there's an ever-growing amount of evidence that shows eating a vegan diet can help you live a long, healthy life. It can help lower your risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, aid in weight loss, and even help prevent colon and breast cancer, to name a handful of the benefits,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

3. She Doesn’t Skip Leg Day

“Leg day… 80kg.. this is the girl who couldn’t do a push-up a month ago,” she wrote once on an Instagram post. “There are many reasons for keeping the legs strong including reducing fall risk, improving metabolism, and getting out of a chair with more ease. Additionally, according to a British study done on twins, published in 2015, there is also a link between brain health and leg strength,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. She Calls Little Mix Her “Family”

“Honesty. I love it when my friends can tell me, ‘Leigh-Anne, you're being a little bit of a diva, just slow your row.’ I love that. A friend that is there for me, I feel like that's so important. I'm very lucky to have the same group of friends that I had in school, and I'm still super close with them. I feel like I wouldn't be able to navigate the world without them. They're everything. Also my sisters in Little Mix, they're not even friends, they are sisters. They are my family.”

5. She Loves Her Kids

Pinnock shared some photos of her babies, too. “[Motherhood] has been the most incredible journey I've ever been on. I am just so in awe of them. And I feel like the luckiest person every day to wake up and see their smile and... I'm going to get emotional...” she told Glamour UK, welling up.

Vicky Pattison, star of Geordie Shore, Ex on the Beach and Judge Geordie, has never not been outspoken.

1. This is How She Lost the Weight

“So I've recently lost abit of weight- it's not quite the overnight miracle everyone on social media seems to think it is- it's been happening gradually over the last year through an amalgamation of things & much to everyone's disappointment I'm sure- there's no great big secret to how I did it. I got my contraceptive out my arm after 15years which had a huge impact on my body & also I got the worlds most energetic Pup- who we love DEARLY but needs to be walked between 2-3 hours daily 😂 So there you have it, I'm sorry I can't flog you a transformative pill or workout but you're all lush as you are anyway so please stop being so hard on yourselves ♥️,” she captioned the photos.

2. She is an Advocate for Women

“Although most people have been really kind about my new bod- there have been quite a lot of nasty comments with people even going as far to say they only liked me before when I was, in their words, an advocate for curvy women,” she wrote. “Listen, I am an advocate for WOMEN full stop. Whatever your shape, whatever your size- & the only reason I started doing my 'Instas versus reality' in the 1st place was to show everyone that we are all capable of taking a good picture for the gram- & we shouldn't be comparing our beautiful bodies to anyone else's- especially not someone else's carefully curated Social media ones.”

3. She Says There’s a Difference Between Posed vs. More Relaxed

“If I want to stretch up, put my hands behind my head & suck my tummy in- The end result is going to be this first pic. However if I relax, allow gravity to do its thing & stop trying so hard.. my body moves (Spoiler alert, all bodies move & I quite like my squishy tummy- it's where my pizza lives 😂) the end result is more like this second one,” she explained of the photos. “These posts were only ever meant to encourage all of us to stop beating ourselves up or comparing our bodies to the super posed & unrealistic ones on social. It's ok to want posed pics or more relaxed ones- to let it all hang out or want to go balls to the wall.”

4. She Says It’s Not OK to Tear Women Down

“The only thing that isn't ok is telling another woman how YOU think she should look. Instead of tearing other women down, we should be building each other up... We're all beautiful in our own unique way & trust me, we're all capable of getting a sick pic for Insta 😂” she concluded.

5. She Sets Goals, and You Can, Too

“I write out my goals for the week as well as how I plan to achieve them,” Pattison has said. “Eating healthier sounds like a good idea. But what does it really mean? Aim for specific goals instead, such as eliminating soda, eating five servings of vegetables a day or limiting your daily sugar intake to 30 grams of added sugar,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Losing 10 pounds a week sounds great. But it's an impossible goal that likely will leave you discouraged — and more likely to give up on your efforts. Choosing realistic goals that you can meet will reinforce your efforts and keep you moving forward. Losing one pound per week is a realistic and sustainable goal.”

Deonna Purrazzo, the wrestler, stays fit for work and the photos she posts are proof of it. Her Instagram is full of "wow" photos. In her most recent post, Purrazzo posed on the beach in a white bathing suit. In the caption, she talked about body shamers and self-confidence. She captioned it: "Twitter saw this CLAP-BACK first 👏👏👏 I could go on and on about body shaming and cyberbullying, but they don’t deserve the attention. But, I’ll always be LOUD about loving yourself and all that you are, no matter what anyone else has to say.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Deonna Purrazzo stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Has No Time For Body Shamers

Throughout her career, Purrazzo has never been afraid to call out body shamers. In her most recent Instagram post’s caption, Purrazzo once again took time to call out the haters. “I could go on and on about body shaming and cyberbullying, but they don’t deserve the attention.” "Teach your children to not respond to cyberbullying messages. Encourage them to block anyone who cyberbullies, to keep evidence of it and to share it with you," says the Mayo Clinic. "Warning signs of cyberbullying include seeming depressed or upset after spending time online and trying to avoid school or social situations."

2. She’s All About Self-Love

Purrazzo is all about self-love and accepting herself. In the same Instagram post, she talked about the importance of self-love. “I’ll always be LOUD about loving yourself and all that you are, no matter what anyone else has to say,” she wrote. "Once you've identified troubling situations, pay attention to your thoughts about them. This includes what you tell yourself (self-talk) and your interpretation of what the situation means. Your thoughts and beliefs might be positive, negative or neutral. They might be rational, based on reason or facts, or irrational, based on false ideas," says the Mayo Clinic. "Ask yourself if these beliefs are true. Would you say them to a friend? If you wouldn't say them to someone else, don't say them to yourself."

3. She Learns New Things

Purrazzo has worked with a lot of different people and companies. She says to The Sun that she makes sure to learn new things with each experience. "Every company has taught me something different," she says. "When I first went to Impact, I was seven matches in, 19-years-old and terrified. It was a massive learning curve but a good stepping stone into the independent scene."

4. She’s Grateful

Purrazzo has a successful career, and she is grateful for everything that has happened to her. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself appreciating her recent activities. She wrote in the caption, “This has quite possibly been the busiest month I’ve ever had… and one of the most rewarding. My smile is a true reflection of how I’m feeling. Grateful.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

Purrazzo loves to spend time by the beach. Last summer, she took a trip to Hawaii, and made sure to get a ton of photos for Instagram. One photo she posted was of herself in the water, enjoying a cocktail. She captioned the post, “It’s 5PM somewhere.” She also posted this photo of herself in Cocoa Beach, captioning it, “Letting the freckles fly today.”

Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has turned her health and fitness around—and it shows. The singer posted a series of sultry pictures of herself looking confident in a pink patterned bathing suit with a matching jacket. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Nelson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Prioritizes Mental and Physical Health

Nelson has spoken about crash dieting to get in shape for a music video, and vows never to do that again. “On the day of the Sweet Melody video I had a panic attack on set because I didn’t look how I wanted to look and I found it so hard to just be happy and enjoy myself.” she says. “I was sobbing in the dressing room. Someone really close to me said, ‘This has got to stop. You can’t keep doing this to yourself. You’re going to end up where you were before.’ For me that was the pinnacle point. I was like, ‘I need to start taking care of myself now because this isn’t healthy.’ It wasn’t nice for the other three to be around someone who didn’t want to be there.”

2. She Loves Boxing

Nelson regularly incorporates boxing into her workouts. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," says physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital. "You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

3. She Loves a Cheeky Nandos

Nelson is a big fan of South African fast-casual chain Nandos, which specializes in chicken dishes. “Baked chicken serves as a rich source of protein,” says Sylvie Tremblay, MSc. “A 4-ounce serving of chicken leg meat contains 27.5 grams of protein, while an equivalent serving of baked chicken breast contains 35 grams. You use this protein as a source of amino acids, which help maintain your tissues and allow you to heal after injury. A 4-ounce serving of baked chicken counts as 4 ounce equivalents of protein, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture food guide, and helps you reach the 5 ounces recommended daily for women or 6 ounces for men.”

4. She Practices Body Positivity

Nelson is honest about her looks, telling fans appearances can be misleading. "I always get a lot of people comment on my abs in photos but I promise you I actually don't have abs lol,” she says. “I'm very lucky that when I breath in for [my pictures] I get these weird little indents that come sometimes look like I have abs. Anyway I'm here to tell you I DONT have abs ladies and this is what my chocolate loving belly really looks like. I'll never ever be a size 8 which is genuinely what I dreamt of being, but I've come to terms with the fact that I bloody love my food and that will never change."

5. She Accepts Her Unique Body

Nelson has made it clear she will never follow the restrictive and damaging weight-loss methods she tried earlier on in her career. Instead, she appreciates the changes her body goes through. "We're all different shapes and sizes and that's what makes us unique,” she says. “I'll never sit here and preach and say I love my body because I don't, but I'm slowly starting to just accept it for what it is and sometimes I'm gonna put on weight and sometimes I'm gonna go to the gym and lose it, either way girlies one day we will be really old and look back at our pics and think god I was actually banging why did I worry so much. Anyway I'm rambling on now but you're all beautiful in your own ways and I hope you all know that."

Scarlett Moffatt is slamming the photographer who took secret pictures of her in a swimsuit, posting the pictures on her Instagram to make a point about body positivity. The 31-year-old British TV star is on vacation with her sister in Spain, clearly enjoying the sunshine and pool time. “To the disgusting pap who snuck into the hotel to take photos of me with my little sister. I ain’t ashamed of my body, yes they’re not the most flattering pictures but baby I’m living my best life ☀️ this is a reminder to be kind about your own body and never let it stop you from doing the things you love #bodypositivity,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Moffatt stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Loves To Hike

Moffatt enjoys taking long hikes, and appreciates the positive impact they have on her physical and mental health. “After finally getting to a stage where I love my body, I’m now wanting to love the inside of it a bit more and make the insides fitter by doing more cardio,” she says.

“The nice thing about hiking is that it exists along an entire continuum, from a gentle walk on a flat wooded path to mountain climbing,” says Dr. Aaron L. Baggish, associate director of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. “There’s a real sense of peace and composure you get from being outside and away from everything.”

2. She Scuba Dives

Moffatt loves to scuba dive, and refuses to wait to be the “perfect” size to enjoy the things she loves. “Don’t let your mind bully your body. Don’t ever worry so much about your physical appearance that you let it stop you doing something you love or from having fun or from seeing friends or family or trying to find love,” she says. “Don’t think aww I’ll do that once I look a certain way. Because YOU my friend are bloody PERFECT just as you are RIGHT NOW 🤍 #perfect”

3. She Practices Body Positivity

Moffatt hasn’t always had the best relationship with her body, but now she embraces her physique and refuses to hide it. “This shouldn’t be a big deal but it is and I’m actually crying whilst writing this,” she captioned an Instagram post of herself posing in a bikini. “It’s took me so many years to gain confidence with my body. I’ve let it down at times and missed out on holidays and nights out because I’ve not liked what I’ve seen in the mirror. But hey after 5 years of not daring to wear a bikini I’m actually doing it! So I hope this gives you the confidence to buy that dress, that bikini, not miss out just because your body doesn’t fit into a certain category (because let me tell you all these things are made up nobody is too slim, too curvy, too athletic, too many stretch marks, too much cellulite) LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE 🤍🙏.”

4. She Loves Carbs

Moffatt enjoys eating carbohydrates with most meals. “Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for our bodies,” says Bethany Thayer, MS, RDN. “They not only provide your body with the energy it needs, but natural food sources of carbohydrates are also a good source of critical nutrients, such as calcium, vitamin C and fiber. This macronutrient is so important, health authorities recommend 50 percent of your daily calories come from carbohydrates.”

5. She Will Never Crash Diet Again

Moffatt famously lost a huge amount of weight in the space of a few months, and released a celebrity weight-loss DVD—something she says she deeply regrets. “Something I don't talk about ever is an ad on a fitness DVD, which I always say is like, my biggest regret,” she revealed on the BoobShare podcast. “But what people need to understand is, I was so young, like I was in my early 20s. I was working in an office, I was very new to this [celebrity] industry. I had no representation and it seemed like a good thing at the time. And I feel like I'm always penalized for that. And it's really upsetting because that's just such a small part of my life and a mistake that I made. But I seem to still be getting sh*t for it. I'm like ‘come on now, like you don’t even know me’, and I've even apologized about doing the before-and-after pictures. Because now I realize how detrimental AR [augmented reality] is to people's mental health. I can honestly say hand-on-heart that, actually, that was the most miserable time.”
