She said: “It’s like I’ve been re-programmed, so when I see the booze now I see fat Lisa.”

“The only thing I can do with it is cut it away."
10. Frankie Essex - 3st
After sinking into depression following her split from John Lyons, TOWIE's Frankie Essex turned to food and booze.
In recent months, the 28-year-old has been taking her exercise seriously – and has shed 3st after ditching her pizza and wine sessions.

12. Gemma Collins - 1st
This year TOWIE's Gemma Collins has been making lifestyle changes in a bid to lose weight - and the results are jawdropping.
The curvy beauty revealed to new! magazine in August that she’d lost 11lbs in just one month after ditching brandies for vodka sodas.
She added she was keen to continue losing weight by making lifestyle changes, but had no intention of following in the footsteps of some of her TOWIE co-stars by releasing a fitness DVD.
She explained: “I obviously don’t want to go down to a size 10 or 12, but I’m a 20 now and if I was a 14 or 16, I feel it’s something I could do.
“I wouldn’t do a DVD taking me down to a size 10, even for £5m, because deep in my heart that’s not who I am.”
