Former Love Island contestant Shaughna Phillips has stunned her social media followers by sharing a dramatic before-and-after video that highlights her impressive five-and-a-half stone weight loss.
A Striking Transformation Revealed
The 31-year-old reality TV personality took to Instagram on Thursday, posting a side-by-side comparison that showcased her remarkable body transformation. In the powerful clip, Shaughna is first seen posing in a bandeau bikini, a look she says represented her former weight of 97kg (15st 2lbs).
The second part of the video features the star confidently modelling a halterneck bikini, flaunting her slimmer figure after dropping to 61kg (9st 6lbs). The vibrant pink bikini highlighted her incredible achievement, which she accomplished before falling pregnant with her second daughter.
Motivation for a Postpartum Comeback
Shaughna, who gave birth to baby Sofia Phillips-Webb on Halloween last year, explained that the throwback video is serving as personal motivation. She is now determined to reclaim her fitness routine after her recent pregnancy.
In an enthusiastic caption accompanying the post, she announced: "I NEED this in my life guys! Which is why ... we're bringing it BACK!!" She was referring to her popular 'Shred It Plan', which she credits for her previous success.
The mum-of-two emphasised that her weight loss was not a quick fix, taking over 14 months of dedicated effort. She managed to drop five dress sizes through the plan and is now ready to embark on a new fitness journey, inviting her followers to join her.
Navigating Postpartum Realities
Despite her determined mindset, Shaughna has been openly sharing the less glamorous side of life after childbirth. She recently posted a video revealing significant postpartum swelling in her feet, joking that her flip-flops would be staying on for a while longer.
This swelling is a common experience for new mothers as the body works to eliminate excess fluid retained during pregnancy. While it typically subsides within weeks, it can sometimes persist for longer.
Shaughna announced the birth of her daughter Sofia in an emotional Instagram reel last year, revealing the baby weighed 7lb 4oz. She shares two daughters, Lucia and Sofia, with her partner Billy Webb.
