She’s shed an impressive 2st 7lbs over the past 18 months as a result of being on a no-sugar diet. But despite her weight-loss achievements, Linda Robson admits that her husband Mark Dunford and their two daughters, Lauren, 35, and Roberta, 22, have warned her against going too far.

The 60 year old admits, “I am still doing the sugar-free diet and not having any alcohol. I’m just eating healthily and going to the gym a couple of times a week, as well as doing lots of walking. I always have my Fitbit on, but I feel guilty if I haven’t reached my 10,000 steps. When I’m at home, I run around the kitchen and up and down the stairs to try to build up the steps.”

DIABETES RISK

She continues, “But my husband and my two daughters have said, ‘Mum, that’s enough now, you need to calm down on the exercise front.’ I don’t want to lose any more weight. I’m 10st and a size 12 now, and that’s where I want to stay.”

Linda’s – who’s 5ft 3 – new lifestyle is a dramatic departure from her previous diet, which found her consuming unhealthy amounts of alcohol on a daily basis.
