Strictly star shows off jaw-dropping 3.5 stone weight loss after health fears
Comedian Susan Calman has proudly revealed she has lost 3.5 stone since starting her fitness journey after overhauling her lifestyle following a number of health concerns Strictly Come Dancing star Susan Calman has proudly showed off her weight loss as she detailed the "life changing differences" she has made. The comedian, 50, admitted she "never thought it was possible" to see the results she has. She previously shared how she wanted to change her lifestyle habits following health concerns. Susan, who competed on the hit BBC dance competition in 2017, started her weight loss journey in December 2023. By August 2024 she had lost 2.5 stone and now she has revealed she has lost another stone. Susan beamed as she marked her achievement and shared just how much work she had put in. The TV star said: "Hit another fitness milestone today. 22kg weight loss represented here by two kettlebells because they didn't have one kettlebell heavy enough. "It's taken 17 months of eating better and moving more. But it's not just about losing weight. I spend lots and lots of time lifting weights and strength training and it's all about consistency. My blood pressure is under control and my health is better. "My mental health is in a more positive place and I absolutely love feeling stronger every day." Susan admitted: "In December 2023 I would never have thought this possible. It absolutely is. It takes a lot, but it's worth it. Life changing differences made possible by my better half and @redefinept the best trainer a person could have. They're the two most supportive women in my life and the best people I know." She concluded: "The stronger I am, the better placed I am to take on the world. If I can do it, anyone can. If you want to. I think you're smashing the way you are x." Susan, who is married to wife Lee Cormack, previously shared her motivations to go on a fitness journey as she feared for her health. She told her followers last year: "My health was in a precarious position and needed to do something about it to stay healthy. "I've lost over 35 pounds but more importantly I'm stronger and fitter than I've ever been." The TV star insisted it hasn't always been easy but has seen a positive impact on her mental health. "It's a real struggle sometimes, and requires far more mental strength than anything else," she admitted. "As someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression my whole life I can honestly say that it's helping me. A lot." The presenter has also been keen to express why she is sharing her journey on social media. "I'm not posting this to boast. Someone asked me recently if I was unwell because I'd lost so much weight so I wanted to clear that up."
