Lisa Riley, known for her role as Mandy Dingle in the ITV soap opera Emmerdale since 1995, has openly shared her remarkable weight loss transformation. She shed 12 stone, going from a size 28 to a size 12 in just 18 months.
Lisa credited her success to cutting out snacking and replacing takeaways with regular gym sessions and healthier meals. This simple but disciplined approach helped her achieve significant results.
As a contestant on the upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity..., Lisa is rumored to be adjusting her diet significantly. She may have to switch to basic meals like rice and beans while in the jungle and face unusual foods during the Bushtucker trials, such as fish eyeballs and kangaroo testicles.
Despite her success, Lisa has been open about the difficulties after losing so much weight, particularly dealing with over 1.5 stone of excess, loose skin.
Lisa discussed her experience in 2017 on This Morning, where she also promoted her documentary Lisa Riley's Baggy Body Club. Speaking with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, she described the positive changes she made for a healthier lifestyle.
"What happened was I decided to lose weight for me."
