Privacy NoticeJacqueline Jossa has opened up about her recent weight loss in a candid confession, admitting she has dropped two dress sizes recently following a lifestyle overhaul. The EastEnders actress – who recently reprised her role as Lauren Branning in the soap – was doing Q&A with her fans via Instagram when one follower asked how she has lost weight. Responding with a video, Jacqueline said: “This is a common one, ‘How have you lost weight?’, slowly and gradually. I’ve been trying to for a really long time and then something just clicked. Honestly, what it was was not eating as much. I was even saying to Dan the other day, there was a stage where I would eat, like, a waffle with chocolate and bananas and strawberries like every week.
Jacqueline explained that she has cut back on food and been hitting the gym
“I’d order one every week and it would just be normal, like, it wasn’t a treat. So, I just massively changed my eating habits and it, in turn, has helped loads. Even my periods, I’ve always suffered really badly with my periods and I have a bad day now instead of a whole week, so it’s changed loads and, obviously, I have lost a little bit of weight as well.” Explaining that she doesn’t weigh herself, Jacqueline guessed she has dropped around a stone, and two dress sizes, since pulling back on her food intake. While she also credits hitting the gym for her new look. “But to add onto that, I have also been going to the gym, I would say, nearly for a whole year really solidly and really well,” continued the mother-of-two, who cites classes such as bodypump and dance for her turnaround.

But admitting she has had a busy few weeks, Jacqueline hasn’t had time to go to the gym recently, and is feeling the withdrawals mentally. “I can feel my mental state needing to go to the gym and my back’s gone again, it’s not so much looks wise but I can feel it mentally.” Recently speaking to OK! about her newfound love for the gym, Jacqueline said: “I didn’t think I’d be able to stick to it, because I’m generally one of those that goes for a week and then stops, but I’m truly loving it. I don’t know who I am. I shock myself sometimes.” As well as her new-found confidence when it comes to working out, she has returned to her roots as Lauren on Albert Square. It’s a place she has spent a lot of her life, having joined the show at 17. And she said earlier this year, “Walford holds a special place in my heart, so it really does feel like coming home.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
