Alison Hammond is glowing — and not just because of her bubbly personality. The ITV This Morning star has been quietly working on her health behind the scenes, and now she’s sharing what really helped her drop an incredible 11 stone.
If you’ve been following Alison for a while, you know she’s always had a magnetic charm and confidence. But lately, fans have noticed something different — not just in her appearance, but in her energy. And she’s finally talking about it.
It’s Not a Quick Fix, It’s a Lifestyle
Alison revealed to Heat magazine that she feels “amazing” and “happy within herself” these days. That feeling, she says, didn’t come from strict diets or miracle fixes. Instead, it came from small, consistent changes that worked for her real life.
She credits a big part of her progress to her personal trainer, who she works with up to four days a week when she’s not busy filming or traveling. “She trains me when I can train. If I’m working, I don’t train, I’ll go for a walk,” Alison said.
And it’s not just about gym sessions. She’s made her workouts fit around her schedule and even keeps weights in her bedroom for quick routines. “It might just be walking or doing a few stretches,” she shared. “Pilates and yoga, I love those too.”
Alison’s approach is refreshingly real. She doesn’t restrict her eating, she simply enjoys everything in moderation. “I don’t cut anything out,” she’s said before. “If I want a bit of chocolate, I’ll have it.”
The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything
Behind the scenes of her fun-loving public image, Alison was facing a serious health scare. Her late mum, Maria, had type 2 diabetes and was always concerned about Alison’s weight.
That concern became even more real when Alison found out she was pre-diabetic herself. “That was frightening,” she admitted. “I knew I had to change.”
Maria sadly passed away in 2020 from lung and liver cancer, and Alison says her mum’s legacy became a driving force in her health journey. “I think of her a lot when I’m working out,” Alison has said in past interviews.
It was a turning point. Instead of falling into fear, Alison leaned into movement. She started walking more, lifting weights at home, and choosing healthier options without being extreme. She’s now reversed her pre-diabetes diagnosis — a huge personal victory that speaks to her dedication.
Want to Feel Better? Start Where You Are
What makes Alison’s journey so relatable is how down-to-earth it is. She didn’t turn to extreme diets or trendy injections. In fact, while she’s open-minded about weight loss injections and understands why some might choose them, she’s personally stayed away for now.
“I think they’re a good thing for people who need to use them,” she told Good Housekeeping. “But as soon as I hear any scare story, I get frightened. So I haven’t wanted to use them, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t in the future.”
Her honesty is refreshing. There’s no judgment in her words — just a woman finding what works for her, without pressure or perfection.
Try This: Keep It Real and Be Kind to Yourself
If Alison’s story teaches us anything, it’s this: health isn’t about numbers, it’s about how you feel. She didn’t chase skinny. She chased happy. She didn’t do it for the cameras. She did it for her health, her family, and her future.
Alison’s routine is something anyone can relate to. A little walk here. A stretch there. Some pilates when she has time. Lifting weights while the kettle’s boiling. It’s not about overhauling your life overnight — it’s about making small, doable changes that stick.
And the best part? She hasn’t lost her sparkle. She’s still the Alison we all love, just feeling a little lighter — in every way.
