Former Strictly Come Dancing star Susan Calman has surprised her fans with an incredible 2.5 stone weight loss. The 49-year-old comedian took to Instagram to share her transformation and opened up about the reason behind her decision.
Susan revealed that concerns about her health pushed her to make a change. She stated, “It’s been seven months since I decided to change my life. I started training with @redefinept (the best motivator I’ve ever met), making better choices with food and moving more.” She emphasized that her health was in a precarious position, and she needed to take action to stay healthy. Susan shared that she has lost over 35 pounds, but more importantly, she feels stronger and fitter than ever before.
In addition to the physical benefits, Susan also highlighted the positive impact that getting fit has had on her mental health. She explained, “It’s a real struggle sometimes, and requires far more mental strength than anything else. As someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression my whole life, I can honestly say that it’s helping me. A lot.”
Addressing why she decided to share her transformation on social media, Susan clarified, “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.” Fans flooded the comments section with compliments, praising Susan for her amazing progress and well-being.
Susan participated in the 2017 series of Strictly Come Dancing where she was partnered with Kevin Clifton. Despite being eliminated in week 10, Susan has continued to stay active in the entertainment industry. She has hosted various Channel 5 travel shows like Susan Calman’s Grand Day Out and Cruising with Susan Calman. Apart from her television career, Susan is happily married to her wife Lee Cormack, whom she met in 2002 while working as a lawyer.
Reflecting on their 2015 wedding, Susan expressed the significance of marriage to her. She stated, “Being married does make a difference. I don’t like it when people say it’s just a bit of paper. Not to me it isn’t. And anyway, it’s something gay people fought for over many years.”
Susan Calman’s journey of transformation serves as an inspiration to many, showcasing the importance of prioritizing health and well-being. Her story resonates with those facing similar struggles, emphasizing the positive outcomes that come from making positive lifestyle changes. As she continues to thrive in her career and personal life, Susan remains a beacon of strength and resilience for her fans and followers.
