Lisa admitted she was "proud of how far" she'd come on her weight loss journey.
The star was forced to shed the pounds and undergo the transformation amid a series of health issues.
In the new snaps, Lisa beamed as she donned a bright pink top as she dined out at a restaurant on her trip.
Showing off her very trim figure, she wrote alongside the snaps: "Feeling proud of how far I've come."
She then added a red love-heart emoji and the hashtags "new beginnings" and "let's do this".
Lisa also looked more slim than ever in another photo in which she wore a bright orange mini-skirt with a sparkly long-sleeved top.
The former soap star further added to the snap: "She's still got it."
Lisa's old colleagues were quick to gush over the star as they went wild over her trim figure.
Sue Devaney, known for playing Debbie Webster, commented: "I'm proud of YOU!!!"
Whilst Sally Carmen-Duttine added: "You look great Lisa."
Coronation Street's Beth Tinker attempts to bury the hatchet with Hope Stape - but fans predict killer twist
Lisa first spoke out about her body transformation last year.
Having suffered from Diabetes, Lisa opted to do a "complete overhaul" of her diet.
She told the Daily Mail in May last year: "I've been through the menopause, am using a sensor so I can check my sugar levels and keep my Diabetes under control and I've had a complete overhaul of my diet.
"I've always eaten really healthily but with everything going on with my eyes and my Diabetes I went to see a nutritionist."
Lisa managed to lose a stone with the actress adding: "I cut out so much from my diet and am a stone lighter than I was last year.
"I'm loving the weight I'm at now. I went out on Friday and wore a velvet suit that was a size 10.
"I have not been in a size 10 since I was 28!"

Chris Hughes' ex confirms pregnancy amid his blossoming romance with JoJo Siwa
Love Island star Chris Hughes's ex-girlfriend has revealed she is pregnant with her first child - while his relationship with Celebrity Big Brother co-star JoJo Siwa is heating up Chris Hughes's professional sport star ex-girlfriend has announced she is expecting her first child - just as his romance with Celebrity Big Brother co-star JoJo Siwa has been confirmed. Professional golfer Annabel Dimmock, 28, shared her happy news via a social media post on Saturday. The golf star took to Instagram showing herself wearing a pink crop top and a pair of short denim shorts. With her legs dangling into a swimming pool, the star showed her growing baby bump. In an accompanying caption, she wrote: "New rookie on tour coming soon" alongside pink heart emojis - and thereby announcing her pregnancy. Fans were quick to take to the comments to wish her well - and noted that the star was posing with baby pink baby shoes. One wrote: "Omg congratulations so happy for you." And another typed: "Congratulations your gonna make the best mum... can't wait to meet her." Annabel previously enjoyed a 14 month romance with Love Island star Chris which lasted from 2020 until 2022. Chris had previously hinted the split hit him hard. "I'm in a good place. I always struggle a bit when it's fresh out of a relationship because everything feels different," he told The Sun in 2022. "But I'm in the gym, I'm keeping myself busy with work. I'm all over the shop. I've got good friends and family around me which is a blessing as well, so I feel good." Annabel's agent had previously told OK! Magazine: "I can confirm they have split and Annabel wishes Chris all the best." She then went on to date Alfie Best Jnr - who is worth £10million thanks to the success of his father, entrepreneur Alfie Best Snr. When the romance was revealed in June 2023, a source told The Sun: "Alfie is a really well liked guy and has been a great match for Annabel. The pair are head over heels but taking things in their stride and not plastering it all over the internet.' Chris has since found a new romance, however, with American pop singer JoJo Siwa, 22. The pair fell for each other after appearing on ITV's Celebrity Big Brother in April this year. Viewers watched in surprise as the pair grew extremely close while in the house - despite the fact JoJo had a girlfriend, Kath Ebbs, on the outside world. When the series concluded, Kath sensationally claimed that JoJo had dumped her at the CBB wrap party. Former Dance Moms star JoJo and Chris then raised eyebrows when they enjoyed a holiday together in Mexico - where they were snapped kissing in a swimming pool. The pair later appeared to confirm their romance as Chris shared a photo of himself in bed with the younger star. JoJo has since discussed their relationship, telling ITV's Lorraine: "Chris and I have had a lot of chats. We've never gone into the kitchen and the head is turning, we've never had that version. He's the best man." Further quizzed on what was going on, she said: "It's so funny To me. It's so funny how straight up people are." Revealing that he had gifted her roses, she said: "They were discount flowers. There's this adorable clip of him, peeling off the sticker... What's even better now, everyone deserves to know, the flowers exist in a blender bottle. He's the best."

Love Island star who replaced axed Kyle Ashman admits breaking show rules AFTER signing up
Keep scrolling to find out what transpired off screen Love Island star who replaced axed Kyle Ashman admits breaking show rules AFTER signing up Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island star Conor Phillips has admitted to breaking show rules AFTER signing up to the programme. The Irish rugby player, 25, is entering the villa in the ITV dating show's latest series. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Conor Phillips is hoping to find romance in the Love Island villa Credit: Instagram 4 The rugby pro admitted to breaking a show rule after signing up Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 The Irish hunk hails from Limerick Credit: Instagram He replaced the originally announced Kyle Ashman, who was sent packing from Majorca just days ahead of the series launch after it emerged he'd been quizzed by cops over a violent attack that took place in February. Speaking to press, Conor revealed he'd sought advice from past winner Greg O'Shea. Islanders are forbidden from revealing their involvement in the series before entering the villa. Fellow Irish rugby player Greg, 30, won series five alongside Amber Gill. Conor shared: "I know Greg through rugby circles so I spoke to him about going on Love Island. "He just said 'be yourself, it's a really really really cool experience that not many people get. "So enjoy it and yeah take it day by day and if you can be yourself you can't really go too far wrong'. "So that's my plan. He was like 'my advice might be a bit different from others because I won'." He added: "I'm 25 and I've only had one relationship and it wasn't very long. "So I feel like I'm maybe doing something wrong or maybe I'm not in the right places. Love Island Stars Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint Split After Ibiza Getaway "So, hopefully that this is the right place and it should be you know because you're in a lovely villa surrounded by beautiful people, so I'm hoping that this is the one." Kyle has since spoken out about being axed saying: 'I fully co-operated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. 'I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' Masked thugs stormed a wake in Stafford and hacked at a dad with a blade in February. Ashman, 23, was one of two quizzed but released with no further action. Sources said the channel was unaware of the incident and he was not flagged as part of contestant checks. The victim, 38, nearly lost his arm. He was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept in for around two weeks. Another mourner was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people run over by a car during the 15 minutes of terror at a social club in Stafford. Ashman, who lives in the town, was one of two men to be nicked on suspicion of affray then bailed. Police confirmed that after the matter had been investigated the pair were released with no further action only last month. A source said: 'This was a horrific attack which could have been even worse. 'Ashman may have signed up to one of the biggest shows on TV with this hanging over his head.' It is not suggested that Ashman, whose job involves laying and repairing water pipes, was involved in the attack.
