Penny Lancaster says she lost 17lb in 8 weeks by ‘shaming herself’ with stomach photo
Sir Rod Stewart’s wife Penny Lancaster says she used a photo of her stomach to incentivise her into losing weight she put on during lockdown
Model Penny Lancaster has said she used a photo of a stomach as her incentive to lose her lockdown weight.
The 49-year-old wife of legendary rocker Sir Rod Stewart, 75, says she lost 17lb in 8 weeks through healthier eating and exercise after putting on weight during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Lady Stewart shared a before and after selection of images displaying the weight loss in her stomach.
Penny captioned the post: “During the lockdown I found myself entering my menopause and the side effects were exaggerated by the anxiety and fear for the virus and the unknown.
“I turned to food and drink as comfort and gained over a stone.
“As a wake up call I shamed [myself] by taking a photo.
“It worked and with a new diet and exercise, I lost 17lb and 4in off my waist in eight weeks!”
It comes after Penny spoke earlier this year about Rod getting a touch of the green-eyed monster when she took part in Strictly Come Dancing all the way back in 2007.
On a recent Instagram Live with her dancing partner Ian Waite, she said: “The funniest thing is my husband said, ‘It’s fantastic you’re doing Strictly. Live your wildest dreams and go for it girl.’
“But then he was like, ‘Who are you dancing with?'”
Despite liking her partner in Ian, Rod still wasn’t entirely pleased about sharing Penny.
She continued: “But he still got jealous. He was like, ‘I’ve lost my wife. She’s in the arms of another man. She’s spending five to six hours a day with another man.'”
Penny married Rod in the same year that she appeared on Stricltly in 2007, and the couple share two sons together: Alastair, 14, and Aiden, 9.
Rod has eight children in total by five different mothers, with Penny being his third wife after both Alana Stewart and Rachel Hunter.
