Shaughna Phillips unveils jaw-dropping weight loss weeks after being 'shaken' by health warning

Shaughna Phillips has admitted she's shocked by her incredible body transformation.

The Love Island star, 29, impressed her fans as she shared a side-by-side photo showing off the results of her weight loss. She confessed she didn't realise how far she'd come since taking the before snap. Shaughna even shared a clip of herself showing off her drastic change to prove to fans it wasn't edited.

The mum-of-one shared: "So this has been happening… I’ll be honest even I’m shocked. So glad I’ve been taking pictures because honestly, when I look in the mirror, I don’t see any difference, your mind is your biggest enemy sometimes! And although being accused of editing your pictures when you actually haven’t is the biggest compliment EVER, I haven’t edited the pic on the right, so I thought I’d include the actual Live Photo just for any doubters."

Shaughna revealed the hard work has left her feeling proud as she's improved her mental and physical health. She added: "I’ve spoken openly about struggling with my body image since I was a little girl (breaks my heart to even say that), so to be told I was seriously overweight at a doctors appointment wasn’t great.

"This hasn’t been overnight, and I still have a way to go. The truth is, there has been weeks where I have found it so easy, and then there’s been months when I’ve seen no change, so I’m really trying to find what works for me, and I think I’m nearly there." The TV star revealed just one pair of jeans in her wardrobe still fit.

Fans were quick to praise Shaughna as one said: "You look beautiful in both but so much happier in the second." Another added: "You are a lovely girl inside and out! Always have been! I know the struggle to love your body, especially after babies and getting older… Being a woman is hard! But you look great and I am proud of you and you should be proud of yourself too." Someone else commented: "You have and are doing amazing, as someone else said you look beautiful in both but you look soo much happier in the second pic and thats what matters."

Earlier this month Shaughna revealed she was “shaken to her core” after being told she was obese a year after giving birth to her daughter Lucia. She had also been told she had “quite a lot of visceral fat around her main organs” which could leave her prone to serious things like heart attacks in the future.

The reality star – who is raising her daughter alone after boyfriend Billy was jailed for nine years over drugs offences – shared: “I’m a mum now and it shook me to my core, because I know I’m not the picture of health, but I didn’t realise things were that bad and it’s kind of scary to hear it from a medical professional."

She added: “I’m going to do this. I need to do something. I need to lose so much weight. I only had one parent because my dad died. Without getting way too deep, I just never want that to happen to Lucia and I want to do everything in my power to be here for as long as possible.”
