Coleen Nolan Confronts Weight Loss Trolls After Dramatic Transformation
Television personality Coleen Nolan has publicly addressed the cruel online trolling she's endured following her remarkable weight loss journey. The 60-year-old Loose Women star revealed she's facing criticism from internet trolls who claim she has lost too much weight, despite her impressive achievement of shedding 3.5 stone and dropping from a size 20 to size 14.
From One Extreme to Another
In a candid interview with Bella magazine, Nolan explained the emotional rollercoaster of public scrutiny surrounding her body. 'I tried to not let the trolls affect me, but it was hard when they were calling me fat and all these names, because those were things that I actually thought about myself,' she confessed. 'Now people attack me for the opposite, claiming I've lost too much weight. I just can't win.'
The mother-of-one expressed a surprising perspective on the negative comments about her current physique. 'But I don't mind these comments as much. I almost think "thank you" because I needed to lose the weight.' Nolan emphasized her increased confidence and healthier approach to eating, noting she now treats herself to 'one or two instead of the whole packet' when snacking.
Weight Loss Partnership and Health Wake-Up Call
Last year, the Daily Mail revealed Nolan had become the new face of weight loss company Voy, which promotes medical interventions including fat jabs. This marked a significant reversal from her previous stance against weight loss medications. In October, she announced her partnership with Voy in a social media post, stating: 'My weight has always been such a major part of my life and the pressure of it has always felt like it's been there. The dieting cycle was just exhausting.'
Nolan elaborated on her changed perspective: 'When I was younger, you know, weight loss to me was about looks and feeling good about yourself and the way you look. With Voy, I found a programme made for me, with experts I can trust and a plan built to last. I feel very very confident that it's absolutely the way forward for me.'
The Voy program offers clinical weight loss assistance including Mounjaro and Wygovy injections, Orlos capsules, and comprehensive coaching support. Notably, Nolan did not explicitly confirm whether she has used any weight loss injections through the program.
Health Motivation Behind the Transformation
Nolan's weight loss journey gained serious momentum after a concerning health diagnosis. She reportedly told The Sun about receiving a pre-diabetic warning from a blood test, which served as a powerful motivator. 'I've been open about my struggles with weight over the years, and when a recent blood test showed I was pre-diabetic, it really motivated me to take action for my long-term health,' she explained.
The television presenter detailed her positive experience with Voy's comprehensive approach: 'Working with the team at Voy has been a positive step forward. What appealed to me was their holistic approach, combining medical guidance with coaching, nutrition support, and mindset work. This isn't about a quick fix; it's about learning healthier habits and building sustainable change.'
Nolan emphasized the program's impact on her overall wellbeing: 'What's made the biggest difference for me is the support, structure, and positive mindset the programme has helped me create. I finally feel I'm taking control of my health in a way that's right for me, and that allows me to enjoy life with my family.'
Lifestyle Changes and Health Awareness
In 2024, Nolan opened up about the lifestyle changes prompted by her pre-diabetic diagnosis, which she described as a substantial 'wake-up call.' The concerning health news came after she suffered from a severe chest infection. Writing in The Mirror, she humorously yet seriously addressed her situation: 'It's been a wake-up call to say, "OK, fatty, you've had enough snacks, step away from the fridge!"'
The television star detailed her ongoing dietary adjustments: 'My new diet is a work in progress and I'm still getting used to reading labels to check sugar content. But I've cut out all unhealthy snacks like chocolate and crisps.' This health-conscious approach reflects the serious nature of her pre-diabetic condition, which according to NHS guidelines can lead to dangerous complications including kidney problems and coronary heart disease if it develops into type 2 diabetes.
Nolan's journey represents a complex narrative of personal health transformation, commercial partnership, and navigating public scrutiny in the digital age. Despite facing criticism from online trolls regardless of her size, she maintains her weight loss has been a positive step for her health and confidence.
