Alison Hammond has shared a sneak peek into her new lifestyle change after an impressive 11 stone weight loss journey. The presenter, 50, revealed her drop came without the use of weight-loss jabs.
Instead, Alison has focused on an exercise plan with a personal trainer. Her decision to lose weight came after the death of her mother Maria, who had previously shared her concerns regarding her daughter’s pre-diabetic diagnosis.
At her heaviest, Alison weighed in at 28 stone. She admits her new routine sees her “amazing” personal trainer train her when Alison is available. “If I’m working, I don’t train, I’ll go for a walk,” Alison revealed.
Speaking to Heat, Alison continued: “But when I’m at home, I’ll go and have a session with her in the morning, just an hour. It might be four days a week.”
And she went on to admit her diet doesn’t see her cutting out some of her favourite foods completely. Instead, she focuses on her intake being in “moderation”.
Her insight comes after she previously explained why weight-loss jobs weren’t something she would consider. She admitted she had heard too many “scary” stories regarding using them.
In a chat with Good Housekeeping in December, she confessed: “‘I think that, for people who need to use them, they’re a good thing – but for me, as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened.
“So I haven’t wanted to use them, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t in the future, and I certainly wouldn’t look down on anyone who did.”
Writing in her memoir last year, Alison opened up on her mother and revealed how her behaviour and actions helped her become the woman she is today. The This Morning presenter explained that her mother “used to sing,” and that the “house would be filled with laughter. People would come over, she’d cook.”
Alison confessed she learned a lot from those who came to the house, writing: “in the sense of strong women looking after women, women teaching women”.
Two years ago, the This Morning star spoke to the Loose Women panel about her grief, revealing that the death of Queen Elizabeth II brought back painful memories of losing her mum. At the time, she said: “I thought I had grieved but when the Queen died it all came down on me. It hit me like a thunderbolt and I had to go to the cemetery.”
