HEIGHT 5FT 5IN WEIGHT 10ST DRESS SIZE 10
Hi, Frankie. Congratulations on your
4st weight loss. How did you do it?
I gained the weight by drinking, not watching what I was eating and not looking after my body when I went to uni. I lost it by doing a meal prep diet. I had a healthy breakfast and then prepped my lunch and dinners myself
– really healthy and balanced meals. I was also going to the gym three to four times a week and the weight just fell off me.
Have you kept up the meal prepping?
After I lost weight I stopped it a little bit and just watched what I ate instead of being organised about it. But I always eat porridge or have a protein shake in the morning because it sets me up for the day. I keep an eye on my snacks as well. I’m gluten and dairy-free, so I snack on lots of gluten-free things, which helps with bloating.
What’s your exercise regime like now?
I used to do a lot of cardio when I was losing weight, but now I’ve got a personal trainer who I see about three times a week. We do weights and a lot with my core, which is good because while my legs and arms stay slim, my stomach tends to bloat. We do HIIT as well – I hate it, but it’s so worth it.
What’s your favourite part of your body?
Probably my curves, which is something I hated this time last year. Although I’ve lost weight, I’m naturally curvy. As I get older I’ve started to appreciate that because I feel like a woman. But belly fat has always been an issue for me. I don’t think I’ll ever have a completely flat stomach, but I’d like to tone it up a bit more.
You recently had a breast uplift. Why was that?
They sagged where I’d lost weight. No one had commented on them, but when I looked in the mirror I felt like I had the body of an old lady. Most girls my age have perky breasts, but mine were the complete opposite. I had them lifted and feel so much better.
What’s your Friday night takeaway order?
Me and boyfriend Harry Lee are obsessed with pizza. Since we’ve been together, we’ve probably had about 500 pizzas.
Are you ever tempted to go vegetarian?
I’m eating a lot more vegetarian meals and I always try to pick the veggie options, but I don’t think I’ll convert completely.
Does being in the public eye put you under pressure to look good?
Definitely – everyone’s got an opinion, so you need to feel at the top of your game.
