Loose Women panelist Denise Welch has taken to Instagram to proudly reveal her slim figure after a losing a whopping two stone in just two months.
Denise shared the transformation snap in celebration of her 9 years as an ambassador for diet plan company Lighter Life.
In the before picture, Denise can be seen smiling in a bright pink bikini, clutching her chest as she makes her way down to the sand.
In her more recent snap, she looked incredible in a show-stopping orange swimsuit that accentuated her toned legs and petite frame.
Fans showered her with praise and left comments about the amazing achievement: “Wow Denise, lovely body!”
Another said: “Beautiful lady!” while another left: “You look amazing.”
“You look great Denise,” said a kind fan.
She wrote in the caption: “When I gave up drinking ten years ago, I gained a sweet tooth and very quickly one addiction was in danger of being replaced by another.”
“I put on two stone and was aware that my knees were aching and that my breathing was impaired.”
She went on to thank Lighter Life and her mentor who helped her change her relationship with food by ‘flexifasting’, which led to a two stone weight loss.
She continued to share her thoughts: “We have become more aware of how carrying excess weight causes so many problems but we’re scared to talk about it. It’s not about getting into a size eight or being a ‘skinny minny’, as my mum used to say.”
“It’s about feeling confident at any age. Like I’ve said a million times, I’m 63 and feel better physically and mentally than I have for years and I’ll do swimsuit pics until I’m 90! I’ve finally stopped being a people pleaser but that’s another story!”
She concluded the post by thanking her fans for their support during her weight loss journey over the last nine years.
Denise has recently admitted that she broke lockdown rules during December 2020 to see her father, the last Christmas celebration they shared together before his death.
She said she was ‘glad’ she got to spend the precious occasion with him before he died of pneumonia in September 2021.
At the time of the breach there was a strict ban on the mixing of households indoors, but Denise told GB News: “Had I not driven with a dry mouth up the motorway, breaking the law and thinking I might be arrested, I wouldn’t have spent my last Christmas with my dad.”
“We weren’t able to visit quite a lot of the time and it was possibly the most heartbreaking thing that I have ever been through in my entire life.”
