Suzanne Shaw, better known as Eve Jenson from Emmerdale, has managed to lose weight – 11 pounds in just 6 weeks to be exact and is proudly showing off her slimmer figure in a bikini photo shoot. After indulging on catering food while filming for the British soap opera and going from a size 8 to a size 12, the TV star decided it was time to get in serious shape by undergoing a healthy weight loss plan – a six week healthy weight loss plan to be specific.
The 29-year-old started following a healthy weight loss diet plan and doing a regular fitness exercise program to lose weight. Just six weeks after deciding she needed to undergo a weight loss program, the 5ft 2 star slimmed down to a size 10.
“I went from dancing on stage in Chicago seven times a week to eating stodgy food all day to get me through 12-hour days on set on Emmerdale,” she confessed. “It went straight to my hips, thighs and tummy. My legs rubbed together when I walked and I hated it.”
Her new, healthy weight loss diet plan included low-fat weight loss foods like wheat-free muesli, grilled chicken salad and tomato soup that provided her with all the energy she needed to cope with long hours on the set.
Although before she hardly had the time or the spirit to do any kind of fitness exercise program, she now started following a regular fitness exercise program to get in shape. The TV star now does her fitness exercises four times a week and her fitness exercise program mainly includes circuit fitness training, sit-ups exercises and push-ups exercises.
And six weeks later into her weight loss quest, she’s achieved an incredible weight loss of 11 pounds and is now posing in a pink bikini looking and feeling better than ever.
The Details of Her Weight Loss Diet Plan

“I used Kettlebells exercise equipment as part of Suzanne’s fitness training exercise program as a way to strengthen her core and tone up her stomach area. This exercise equipment requires a specific understanding before they are applied in fitness training exercise so be sure to ask your gym for advice before using. If you can’t get to a gym, these home fitness exercises will improve core strength and tone up your tummy noticeably:
Front Squat Fitness Exercise
Integrated fitness exercise for core, glutes (bum), spinal flexibility and legs. This exercise is best performed facing a wall, feet straight and at shoulder width and preferably a weight held infront of the body to further challenge the core. Facing the wall forces better form without the worry of back pain.
Start this fitness exercise by standing up straight then replicate a ‘sitting down’ pattern aiming to get your hips in line with your knees. Keep a strong core at the bottom. Then push your hips forward as you stand up straight, tightening your backside at the top. Repeat this fitness exercise from the beginning.
REPS: Aim for up to 16 repetitions of this fitness exercise, 3-5 sets every day
Lying Single Leg Raise Fitness Exercise
This is a great fitness exercise for getting your core working how it should.
Position yourself so that you are flat on your back, arms to the side of your body and your legs are straight.
Lift your head and arms, reaching forward so that your hands are 6inches above your knees and that you are able to force your back into the floor.
Start by lifting one leg up off the floor as high as you can, reaching forward with your arms as you do so, ensuring your lower back is in contact with the floor at all times.
Slowly lower the leg back to the floor, then repeat this fitness exercise the same side for a number of repetitions.
Once complete, repeat this fitness exercise on the opposite side.
