James Corden’s sister, Ruth, has shared the secrets to her incredible weight loss after shedding an impressive nine stone after admitting to ‘losing control’ over her eating
James Corden’s sister Ruth has lifted the lid on her jaw-dropping weight loss journey. The 43-year-old left her followers stunned last month when she shared before and after snaps of herself after dropping an astonishing nine stone.
Ruth, who has admitted to using Ozempic to help her shed the weight, has now reflected on her new lifestyle, after admitting to ‘losing control’ over her eating before changing her mindset two years ago.
Taking to Instagram, looking back on how far she’s come, sharing striking snaps of herself, taken two years apart, Ruth said she began her weight loss journey alone before seeking help from Dr Sophia Khalique in London.
She explained: “I got to my biggest two years ago. I was a dress size 28. I was ballooning by the second. I didn’t have any control over my eating or my lifestyle. Bizarrely in February 2024 I just decided to lose weight.
“A lot of people ask me, “what was the catalyst?” and I honestly can’t tell you. I was having some problems with my blood pressure, so maybe there was some subconscious fear around that.”
Explaining she kicked off her new lifestyle in 2024 doing just 10 minutes of exercise a day, she continued: “I embarked on eating less in February 2024 and committed to doing ten minutes of exercise a day.’
“For those of us that are fat, or live in bigger bodies, I am going to use the language fat in this, because that’s what I’m comfortable with.’
“Being fat, going to see medical professional is something that became very frightening actually. A lot of the time when you go see a healthcare professional everything comes back to your weight.”
Admitting getting supporting for ‘being fat’ wasn’t something on her radar, Ruth said she bumped into Dr Khalique on a night out.
She continued: “I have a long-standing joke with my dad that I could go with Tonsillitis and the GP would tell me it’s because I’m fat. So, getting help and support from them around that wasn’t really on my radar.
“I was just plugging away at it going about it myself. I bumped into Dr Sophia Khalique on a night out and spoke to her about my hormones and fertility struggles.”
Ruth explained how Dr Khalique spoke to her from a ‘human level’ while she supported her and came to the conclusion, after a number of tests, that Ozempic, a drug for diabetes, being used for weight loss, would be a good option for her.
The proud podcaster is continuing to keep fit as she revealed she’s taking part in the 75 Hard challenge, where alcohol and unhealthy food are replaced by daily workouts for 75 days.
Captioning herself going for a run on New Year’s Day, Ruth wrote: “75 hard has not left my head. Wasn’t gonna do this run but I put on my shoes and did it.”
