Jennifer Hawkins quits drinking to lose weight

Jennifer Hawkins has given up alcohol as part of her new health regime.

The Australian supermodel, who recently took part in a shoot for her Cozi swimwear range, said that she decided to tweak her normal diet and exercise pattern in a bid to tone up for the photographs.

Hawkins told the Herald Sun: "I laid off alcohol for three weeks and I feel good for that. I always am quite healthy, but I like to have a glass of wine now and again. I have a new trainer. I've been boxing and doing weight training and doing lots of repetitions. I've also been doing yoga and Pilates."

Talking about her latest collection, she said: "The fits are amazing this season. You want to feel like you don't have a swim suit on."

Hawkins got engaged to long-term boyfriend Jake Wall in January this year. At the time, she said that her life was "a bit of a blur" and that she felt "strange", but added that they would probably set a wedding date for next year.

The couple were rumoured to have secretly wed after family and friends were spotted attending a celebration for them in Sydney's Palm Beach, but they later revealed that it was an engagement party.
