Theres no denying that, at 60 , Linda Robson is giving women half her age a run for their money. In just over a year she has shed four dress sizes to become a size 12 at just under 11 stone. But while fans are filling her with praise shes refusing to become obsessed with the scales.
“Ive stopped weighing myself,” she says. “But I think Ive lost about two and a half stone. Ive gone from a 16 to 18 dress size down to a 12 to 14.
“Ive just turned 60 and I feel better and fitter than I did at 50. And Im really proud!”
While actress Linda has already had success in losing weight she continuing to watch what she eats and maintains a healthy lifestyle. And, unsurprisingly her life overhaul and has won praise for her svelte figure.
During her regular appearances on Loose Women, fans flock to social media with compliments for her.
Linda Robson well done you, wrote one impressed viewer. Such a trouper! Showing you are still incredibly fit!
Another wrote, Can I say Linda Robson looks absolutely amazing.
So how did the Birds of a Feather star become as light as a feather?
THE SUGAR-FREE DIET, NO BOOZE AND REDUCED CARBS
Just like a lot of us, Linda started this year with one goal in mind. She shared a video on social media of her post-exercise, adding, “Just did a really hard workout @barryslondon keeping up my New Years resolution, eat healthy no sugar and exercise as often as I can, 2018 going to get as fit as I can.”
When it comes to her diet, a couple of small changes have helped Linda shed the pounds: cutting out sugar, reducing her carb intake and quitting alcohol. And it seems her new eating and exercise regime has done the trick, as Linda also reveals her taste buds have even changed.
She says, “Its much easier now. My husband made me a risotto the other day and he put a glass of wine in it and I couldnt eat it. It tasted too much of the wine.”
But, refreshingly, Linda isnt being too strict with herself and confesses shes got 11 bottles of wine, which shell tuck into once her sugar ban is over.
NO FRIED FOOD
Of course, weight loss is also down to eating the right foods and Lindas had friend and Birds of a Feather co-star Pauline Quirke on hand to get to grips with healthy living. “Pauline and I are healthy eaters now,” Linda explains. “Weve both completely changed our diets. But while Pauline has always liked fish, Ive had to make myself like it.
“I never have any fried food now, I dont eat red meat and I have loads of vegetables. My only downfall is bread, which I love.”

HEALTH OVERHAUL
But Lindas weight loss wasnt purely for vanity. Before embarking on the health kick, she revealed a diabetes scare spurred her on – but breaking certain habits wasnt easy for her…
She explained, “I had a medical and they said I was likely to get diabetes if I didnt lose a bit of weight. I havent had wine now for months. I used to have a glass at 10 oclock every night. I feel so much better for it.”
“When I was told I could get diabetes, I thought, Ive got two young grandchildren who are the loves of my life. I want to be around for when they get married. Thats helped me stick with to it,” she added when talking to The Mirror.
And luckily Linda has more than just friends she can rely on, as fans are determined not to let her break the diet.
“In supermarkets, I have Loose Women viewers checking my trolley to make sure I havent got any wine in there,” she revealed. “Ive also been going to Zumba classes and I do at least 10,000 steps a day.”
Youre looking great, Linda. Keep up the good work!
