Married at First Sight bride Polly Sellman has wowed fans with her impressive weight loss transformation and has since opened up on why she made the big change
MAFS bride Polly Sellman wowed fans with her recent bikini snaps showing off her toned body after losing four stone – and she’s not held back in revealing what inspired the change.
The 28-year-old ex-careers advisor flaunted her impressive weight loss on an Aussie beach over Christmas in a small red bikini, and people are in awe at her transformation since she finished filming the show.
Polly found herself at the centre of a pretty turbulent journey on MAFS; she even threw a glass of wine over her then-husband Adam Nightingale during filming. But since leaving, it seems like Polly has waved goodbye to the drama and is focusing on investing in herself – even ditching the UK for sunny Australia.
Opening up about how her body confidence issues have impacted her, the stunning bride was candid about how much her life has changed since losing weight.
With a major boost in body confidence, Polly opened up about her weight loss journey and shared the reason for the change with her fans. The bubbly bride first posted about her weight loss journey in September, when she’d managed to shed two stone, and said it was all down to a simple three-part method she’s been doing since March.
This includes upping her water intake, moving more and eating less. She said: “This has been an ongoing journey since the end of March, and since then I’ve lost around 2 stone (with some help).” She added: “It’s been a case of upping my water intake, eating less and moving more. And I love that I’ve found a huge passion for fitness again because of the routine I really kept to, and still do.”
On the show, the confident bride didn’t hold back when it came to speaking her mind, and she always came across as a strong and aspirational figure, however in her post, she revealed she was struggling behind the scenes.
“I’ve always been confident, however not so much with my body, now have a lot more self confidence and feel so much more comfortable in certain clothing whereas I didn’t before,” she wrote.
“I dressed well for my shape and size but never felt hugely comfortable just the fact I knew how to dress to hide certain insecurities. However that’s now changed and I don’t think as much about covering certain things when I’m ordering clothes and it feels sooooo good.”
Since September, the star has managed to lose another two stone, which left her “gobsmacked”. She recently updated fans on her Instagram story where she revealed: “I’ve just weighed myself (I know you shouldn’t at night) and I’m honestly gobsmacked that I’ve now lost nearly 4 stone… 4! Since March! I finished filming and I was 16 stone (have been there or there abouts for 2 years) and now I’m 12.5.”
Polly said that she is not stopping there as she continues to embrace her new lifestyle. She said: “I still have a little way to go to get to my goal weight then when I’m there it’s going to be building strength and maintaining the weight I’ve lost without living a restricted lifestyle and keep a healthy relationship with food and drink.”
