Gogglebox’s Amy Tapper reveals she lost 3.5 stone by changing her ‘entire lifestyle’

Amy Tapper has revealed that she managed to drop 3.5 stone after ditching ‘quick fix’ diets and instead changing her ‘entire lifestyle’. 

The Gogglebox star, 20, also candidly detailed how she’s struggled with her weight since she was just eight years old in a new interview with Metro.

It comes after Amy revealed her very glamorous transformation at the end of last year, saying she’s now more confident that she’s ever been.

Amy said: ‘There was nothing specific [issues] because I’ve struggled with my weight since I was about eight years old. I’ve always tried every diet under the sun.’

Discussing why she’s managed to drop some pounds now, Amy credited going to the gym as that allowed her to start ‘losing inches as well as weight.’  

She continued: ‘I think it was just the right time… my mind was exactly where it needed to be. Changing a whole lifestyle rather than doing a really quick fix on shakes and bars that just didn’t [work].’

Reflecting on the incredible response to her weight loss reveal, Amy said she didn’t want her fans to think she was finished, saying ‘I’ve still got a long way to go!’.

She added that her followers’ excitement over how her journey is going has kept her motivated to stick with it and share regular updates. 

Although social media has been a great help in her weight loss journey, the star said she no longer uses Twitter after reading horrible messages about herself.

Amy explained how she used to search her name and see the trolls’ hurtful words when she was a teenager, but has now stopped doing this.

It comes after Amy stripped down to her shapewear lingerie for an ad post on Instagram in December as she said it ‘smooths her lumps and bumps.’

In the short video, Amy was wearing a glam halter neck dress and grabbed her tummy before wagging her finger at the camera.  

She then stripped down to her shapewear as she performed a little dance, wearing a black bra and cycling short style underwear.

Amy then put the same evening gown back on and showed the difference as she sashayed out of view. 

She wrote: ‘Remember the Plus size shapewear and waist trainers I showed you a month ago @maskateertm? My favourite is the bodysuit, so comfortable and sleek.

‘They are so good for everyday wear, smooth all lumps and bumps and give you that extra boost of confidence you need with your XMAS outfit.’ 

While in November she announced she is looking for a boyfriend now that she feels more confident about herself.

In an interview with The Sun, Amy said: ‘I’ve lost around three and a half stone, I am more confident in myself and I love myself as a person more than I’ve ever done before.

‘I am more confident in different ways than before – I used to be more confident with boys back then believe it or not but when you have a couple of bad experiences, boys can play a big part in your mind and your confidence.’  

Amy starred on Gogglebox from 2013 to 2018 alongside her Dad Jonathan, 52, her mum Nikki, 47, and brother Josh, 23.

She also appeared on E4’s dating show Celebs Go Dating in 2018 and has teased an upcoming appearance on Celebs Go Skating in 2021.
