Gogglebox’s Amy Tapper shows off her 3.5st weight loss in skinny jeans
GOGGLEBOX star Amy Tapper sipped into skinny jeans to show off her 3.5st weight loss.
The 21-year-old has spent years doing fad-dieting without success until turning her life around in lockdown.
Amy, who starred on the Channel 4 show with her family from 2013 to 2018, was told by doctors she suffers from a slow metabolism.
But now she's shrunk by three dress sizes, from a 26 to a 20, after cutting down her portion sizes — and dancing around her home.
She says: “I have tried and tested every diet under the sun but my weight has been a battle since I was eight years old.
"It’s not because of what I’ve been brought up on, but a lot of people probably look at me and think that.
“I remember watching back videos of me when I was six or seven and asking Mum, ‘What did you feed me?’ She said: ‘You didn’t eat. We don’t know what happened.”
Proving she's happier and more confident than ever, Amy shared snaps of her posing in skinny jeans on Instagram.
She wrote: "Me laughing? Have a close up x"
During lockdown, almost half of us have piled on weight, a survey by King’s College London found.
But being cooped up indoors has helped Amy LOSE six inches from her waist.
Telling The Sun how she's done it, Amy says: “I have been doing quite a lot of dance workouts at home, every day. They’re 25 minutes long on YouTube.
“It is exercising to a beat and gets you going.
“I did a One Direction one the other day. They get you in good spirits for the rest of the day.
"If not every day, it will be every other day, and I mix and match it with yoga. I add in squats while brushing my teeth, too. I love squats.
“Every person’s body is different and everyone’s metabolism is different.
“Over the past ten years I think I have come to a conclusion about what is best for me and what works for me. Before, I would lose 2st easily, then my body would just never budge after the 2st.
“It has been an ongoing battle but I think I have finally cracked the code.
“I am no professional but what works for me is fitting my diet around my life, rather than fitting me around a diet.
“Everything needs to be in moderation — if you are doing a shake diet or something extreme, you are going to end up falling off it at one point.
"The minute you even eat an apple, you put on weight. So I found that just changing up my lifestyle worked well.
“I carried on eating the same foods but just cutting the portions slightly.

“I don’t want a drastic loss, I want a healthy lifestyle and, once I drop the weight, I want it to be gone for good.
“Right now I feel great. I have so much more energy.”
