Is it really possible to shed two stone in six weeks and still eat?

Story here

She looks good but must be feeling like shit.

It's a bit sad. She should never have left Eastenders, then she wouldn't keep having to do all this crappy career relaunch stuff.

I lost 3 stone in 10 weeks :-)

Cambridge diet though.

She's thin but she still has sausagemeat legs. Hah.

She looks like Sharleen Spiteri (Singer from Texas) with short hair.

omg what is this Cambridge diet you speak of??

I would like one where white wine is still an option on a weekend lol

I think she looks a bit too thin although it may just be her hair making her look a bit severe

MamaG · 07/07/2009 10:34

LOL at swedes

KingRolo · 07/07/2009 12:34

She'll be back to her old size and shape within 6 months.

Then the DM can run another feature on her saying she had a 'weight-loss hell' plunging to painful 8 stones but now, hey, she has her heathy curves back and doesn't she look fine!

And on it goes!

Also amazed that she would have been a size 16 at 10st. I know she is only 5ft 2in but I'm barely taller (5ft 3in), 10st (post-baby) and still only a size 12.

noddyholder · 07/07/2009 12:44

I know natalie cassidy mark 2.Why do they always go from 'I'll never let myself get like that again and i'm so happy' to 'my diet hell i am happy as i am'

notnowbernard · 07/07/2009 12:45

Dodgy

EyeballsintheSky · 07/07/2009 12:47

She looks much much better with a little bit of weight on. Now she looks like a Posh wannabe and who tf wants to look like that? She shouldn't have left Eastenders, you're right. She was well suited there and I liked her. Shame to see her floundering a bit.

HolyGuacamole · 07/07/2009 12:49

She looks a bit like Sharleen Spiteri now.

She's lost it too fast, I think she'll pile it back on, they always do.

"Also amazed that she would have been a size 16 at 10st. I know she is only 5ft 2in but I'm barely taller (5ft 3in), 10st (post-baby) and still only a size 12."

hell yeah - I was 10st and size 16 (5ft) at one point.

4lb a week at the start of a diet isn't that drastic is it? I know they recommend 2lb as being healthy - but at the peak of my weight loss I was easily losing 3/4 a week .

AnyFucker · 07/07/2009 12:56

I still think she looks as hard as nails

I bet she isn't a woman's woman < mee-oww >

Walkingwiththighosaurs · 07/07/2009 12:57

I think she looks fantastic, bloody well done to her. Doesn't matter whether she puts it all back on, she has done it, that's what matters. I bet she doesn't put it back on though.

Walkingwiththighosaurs · 07/07/2009 12:58

I've always been very jealous of her teeth, they are really lovely, straight and really white.

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/07/2009 13:08

She's back on the charlie again.

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/07/2009 13:10

And yes that catty comment is borne from the green eyed monster, I have got a too-tight shirt on today and I am having to sit ramrod straight in case I pop the bloody buttons.

Feel like a fat cow.

KingRolo · 07/07/2009 13:16

I do love the fact that she described herself as a 'butch Barbara Cartland' .

EyeballsintheSky · 07/07/2009 15:00

I really like her. I'm not usually one for these slebs but there's something likeable about her. She seems to lurch from one drama to another just like the rest of us and there's none of the up-herself shite that a lot of the others come out with.

@ GetorfMoiLand. I've solved that issue by never wearing any sodding buttons!

BalloonSlayer · 09/07/2009 14:19

re-reading the article closely, I think that the headline is just wrong.

Nowhere in the text does she claim to have lost 2stone in 6 weeks.

She just says that the trainers promised to "change her in six weeks." And that she saw real results after two weeks.

She mentions that the reason she went on a diet was because of seeing herself in Strictly last year. Which would imply that she has been on a diet since shortly after that.

And if you look at the "reveal" cover at the bottom, it mentions losing 2 stone but not in six weeks.

Typical thick moron Daily Mail writer would be my guess.
