Lisa Riley Weight Gain Journey: Inspiring Transformation and Empowering Body Positivity
Since her first stint on Emmerdale back in 1995 and then her return in 2019, actress Lisa Riley has garnered an army of fans thanks to her boundless enthusiasm and heartbreaking storylines. The actress is also a panellist on the popular ITV daytime show Loose Women and a former presenter on You’ve Been Framed!
Throughout the years, she has lost a staggering 12 stone and dropped to a slim size 14, but her amazing transformation didn’t come easy. She has previously shared her blood, sweat and tears during her journey to getting into the best shape of her life. She has kept her diet super healthy, avoiding fatty foods and sugary snacks, while keeping up with regular workout sessions and HIIT training.
She recently gave us a glimpse into her daily lunch routine, and it looks pretty darn delicious! She posted a picture of her low-carb, post-workout lunch on Instagram, and it was packed with all the good stuff like protein, veggies, fruit, berries and spices. It looks so yummy, we’d definitely want to try it out ourselves!
The star, who plays Mandy Dingle in the soap, has been extremely active on social media, sharing her fitness regime and healthy meals with her 105,000 followers. She is so inspirational, and we love her dedication to her health. Her hard work is paying off, as she is looking absolutely stunning!
However, she recently opened up about a very personal struggle, which is that she has been struggling to have a baby. She explained that she was determined to be a mother after losing her mum, father and grandmas in a short space of time, but she was told after a year of secret fertility tests that she is not able to have children.
It’s been a hugely difficult period for the actress, but she says she has found a way to cope with it and is happy in her life now. She has a great support network around her and her partner, who is a musician, Al. She has spoken about how important it is to have a close group of friends who can understand what you’re going through.
In recent months, she has been promoting her new book, which is called The Real Lisa Riley, which is about the struggles she has faced in her life. It’s an honest and raw look at her personal experiences, as well as offering advice to other people who are struggling with the same issues. The book has received a lot of positive feedback from fans, with many saying that they found it really helpful and relatable. We think the book is a must-read for everyone!
