Read on to see 5 ways Vicky Pattison 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 Cut Out Some Drinks

Pattison revealed to The Sun that she has made some changes to her diet. One thing she did was avoid certain drinks. “There's no need for Jägerbombs, WKD or vodka Red Bulls,” she explains. “Instead, a gin and slimline tonic or vodka soda will do.”

2. She Lost Weight For Herself

Pattison lost a lot of weight, and she opened up about the process to Heat Magazine. She says that she decided to lose weight to enjoy herself. “I didn't lose all this weight and I don't train hard to sit at home in my gorgeous size eight dress staring at my boyfriend, who's eating a Dominos. I've done this so I can have a life and enjoy myself.”

3. She Works With A Life Coach

Pattison spilled some of her wellness secrets to Closer Online. “I've got a life coach, if you're in a position to get someone like that, I really would advise it. 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.”

4. She Goes Outside

Pattison tells Closer Online that she is working to spend more time outside. “My life coach always tells me to get out into nature with the trees and to get some fresh air. 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.”

5. She Loves Face Masks

Pattison tells Closer Online that she makes sure to take care of her skin, and has a favorite product. “It's really basic, but I also love a face mask. I put a face mask on and for 15 minutes I just forget about everything. I feel like it absolves me of all my weekend guilt.”

Vicky Pattison, star of Geordie Shore, Ex on the Beach and Judge Geordie, has never not been outspoken. Sharing pictures of her weight loss today, she doesn’t disappoint, using them as chance to stick up for women everywhere, and show the reality of what losing pounds looks like. How does she stay so fit and so strong, and what was her message? Read on to see 5 ways Vicky Pattison 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. 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.”

Media personality, author, and broadcaster, Vicky Pattison, feels confident and beautiful in her jewelry. “I've absolutely loved wearing my gorgeous 'Moments' collection this year and now you can check it all out in their incredible cyber Monday sale,” she said on Instagram, on a series of photos. Here’s how Vicky stays looking and feeling her best.

She Splurges

She fills the table with delicious food for her birthday. It’s about balance and enjoying yourself, especially when celebrating. “I wanted to post this.. as this last year has been the most special of my life, and I felt a certain type of way about saying goodbye to 36... But I am excited for 37, and I hope just like my birthday it's filled with friends, family and really good food,” she said on Instagram.

She Loves Her Pets

Her dogs bring her so much love and joy. “I woke up this morning a bit miserable... it's cold, I'm tired and I'm an old cow 😩 And then I looked down at baby max and milo in my bed, already stretching and coming in search of morning cuddles and ear scratchies and I just realised I'm the luckiest woman in the world. As I get to be their mam,” she said on Instagram. According to UC Davis Health, “establishing healthy routines for a pet such as daily walks, healthy meals and active playtime provides many pet parents with a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Pet ownership can also give us a push to better ourselves. If you can't or don't own a pet, even being around a family or friend's animal can benefit your mental well-being.”

She Does Skincare

She takes care of her skin, especially on big days like her wedding day. “I'm getting married TODAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! Take 2 babyyyyyyy 😂😂😂😂😂I am beyond excited, nervous and happy... and just can't wait to see you @ercan_ram 👰🏻♀️🤩,” she said on Instagram on a photo of her wearing a face mask.

She Talks About Fertility

She discussed fertility and freezing her eggs. “Last year, i decided to freeze my eggs. A decision that I didn't take lightly and one that a lot of people didn't understand. But that didn't matter to- what mattered was that I was doing the right thing for me. There is so much pressure on women to have everything figured out all the time and it's just impossible to do it all. We're doing so much more with our lives now- we're smashing our careers, we're seeing the world and we're falling in love later! These things are amazing and should be celebrated.. we shouldn't feel ashamed of our decisions and for having things we want to achieve before our minds turn to motherhood! But one thing I will urge you to do as a woman is understand your body,” she said on Instagram.

She Runs

She tries new workouts, even if they’re not her favorite (like running). “I am not a runner and found getting in to my training for this post Arctic super difficult and I KNOW that affected my run yesterday! The crowd, seeing my gorgeous friends and family who came to support us, the beautiful landmarks, the atmosphere and the camaraderie from the other runners kept me going but the last 3 miles were HELL 😂🤦🏻♀️ Need to do more prep before we take on our next challenge for sure,” she said on Instagram.

1. She Believes Beauty Comes From Within

“If you want to wear Topshop, have a bit of Botox or dye your hair orange, then do it without fearing judgment. We shouldn’t be body-shaming each other or think getting old is a negative thing, because it’s not. What comes from within, your belief in your potential and what you can offer to the world: that is the true beauty of a woman,” Patsy told Hello when asked about her thoughts on aging.

2. She Meditates

Patsy maintains that meditation has been a game changer for her "mind, soul, diet, exercise,” adding, “It has been a really good thing for me to get into." She went through a transformation during a recent trip to Thailand. "I went to Chiva Som to do some meditation and that changed my life completely. I practice Yoga Nidra which is a guided meditation. It makes me feel so much better.”

3. She Lifts Weights and Runs

You won’t find Patsy doing yoga. "Yoga has never worked for me, I’ve never been able to do the downward dog. I like light weights and running,” she told Hello.

4. She Eats Clean

Patsy told Hello that what she puts in her body is very important. “I don’t diet, I just eat clean, fresh and healthy not processed foods. It’s important to take the time for yourself, look in the mirror and love yourself. Be the best you can be for the age that you are at," she said.

5. She Is Using “Alternative Therapy” to Help with Menopause

Patsy told Hello that she has embraced alternative therapy since going through menopause. "When my blood tests first came back, the doctor said: ‘I can’t believe you are functioning on any level.’ The balance of my progesterone and vitamin D was dangerously low. Even now, it’s very Victorian the way the menopause is dealt with. No one talks about it. It’s time to focus on how great this change is, as it’s something that is going to come and get you,” she said, revealing that her diet prescribed her a losange.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

Develop strong bones

Manage your weight

Enhance your quality of life

Manage chronic conditions

Sharpen your thinking skills
