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.”

“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.”

British TV star Vicky Pattison cannot wait for the cold weather to arrive, but she still loves her swimsuits. Pattison, 35, posted a photo of herself wearing a bandana and brown bikini, part of a series of pictures celebrating September. “September... You were amazing 😍🥹Beyond grateful for the amazing experiences, lessons and special moments that I shared with my beautiful loved ones.. Just feel really lucky I suppose 🥹😍I can't wait to see what October brings... I'd really like it to be cozy nights in front of the tv, Milo snuggles, shepherds pie, mavie cuddles, laughs with my friends, date nights with erc and work that set my soul on fire... 🔥,” she captioned the post.

1. She Has a Life Coach

Pattison employs the services of a life coach, something she highly recommends. “I've got a life coach, if you're in a position to get someone like that, I really would advise it,” she tells Closer UK. “He's transformed my life and he helps me to make sense of everything. Talking through your day and the things you're going through with someone who's neutral on the situation really helps.”

2. She Walks Everyday

Pattison tries to get her exercise out in the fresh air whenever possible. “My life coach always tells me to get out into nature with the trees and to get some fresh air,” she says. “I never really put much weight on it until I got my dog, Milo, and just getting out for an hour every day taking him on his walk makes me feel much happier, healthier and more balanced. I advocate fresh air for everybody.” The experts agree: Working out outside brings a unique set of benefits. “Light tends to elevate people's mood, and unless you live in a glass house or are using a light box to treat seasonal affective disorder, there's usually more light available outside than in,” says Harvard Health. “Physical activity has been shown to relax and cheer people up, so if being outside replaces inactive pursuits with active ones, it might also mean more smiles and laughter.”

3. She Loves Spinach Smoothies

Pattison is a big fan of healthy, delicious smoothies, especially with spinach. “Spinach has long been regarded as a plant which can restore energy, increase vitality and improve the quality of the blood,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “There are good reasons for this, such as the fact that spinach is rich in iron. This mineral plays a central role in the function of red blood cells which help transport oxygen around the body, supports energy production and DNA synthesis. However, high levels of a compound called oxalic acid, naturally found in spinach, appears to inhibit the absorption of minerals like iron; that said, lightly cooking or wilting appears to minimize these effects.”

4. She Is In Tune With Her Body

Pattison tends to eat less on days she doesn’t work out. "I know a lot of people advocate carb cycling but for me I keep things quite simple - on days I don't train I just eat slightly fewer calories,” she says. “It's not something I do proactively, but it's more just a case of when I'm not training I'm just not as hungry. However, this is entirely subjective and I always try and listen to what my body wants."

5. She Avoids Sugar

Pattison believes in having a balanced diet—but she avoids foods that make her feel bad. "I try not to exclude any major food groups as a way to guarantee that I want something is to say I can't have it,” she says. “Saying that, I do avoid refined sugars and simple carbs like white bread as there's just no need for them and they make me feel rubbish and lethargic. The only exemption to this is alcohol - and I'll never give that up entirely. Life is for living!”

1. She Wants to Put Out a Realistic Body Image

Moffatt once put out her own fitness DVD, however, she is realizing that it might not have helped others or herself. In an interview with Frankie Bridge, Moffat denounced the DVD, revealing that it was bad for her mental health. "Not only were they bad for my peace of mind, it wasn't really good for other people because now I look like my before picture again," she said. "I sort of rebelled against it because I just didn't like how it happened and I just wasn't for it anymore. I purposefully started putting weight on. I was sort of like, 'If I get big again, it can't get brought up'. I can't have this stigma attached to me about this DVD and people will stop buying it.”

2. She Cut Out Unhealthy Food

Moffatt told Bridge that the real reason for her weight loss wasn’t extreme dieting or workouts, it was just making simple changes to her diet. "I think people thought I had been walking and rambling up mountains for six months but it wasn't. I genuinely did just do those exercises but obviously I had to cut out a lot of food from what I was normally eating.”

3. She Allows Herself To Enjoy Indulgences

While Moffatt did lose weight due to cutting out indulgences, she admits that she still enjoys them once in a while. “I’m a proper foodie and I could never do a fad diet,” she tells Closer. “I’ve just cut down to one Greggs pie a week, and instead of a king-size Snickers bar, I’ll have a normal size one.”

4. She Goes Hiking

One of the ways Moffatt stays active is by going on hikes. She posted this stunning photo of herself walking up a hill, the gorgeous beach scenery in view. She revealed in the caption that her recent self-confidence has inspired her to go on more hikes, saying, “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. I mean I think this picture sums up the quote ‘all the gear, no idea.’”

5. She’s Confident In Herself

Moffatt is all about body-positivity, self-love, and self-confidence. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself jumping into the ocean off a boat, where she reminded her followers to love themselves, and not let doubt take over their minds. She wrote in the caption, “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. 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.”
