Ricki-Lee Coulter: 'Losing weight wasn't easy'

Ricki-Lee Coulter has revealed that it wasn't "easy" losing weight.

The 25-year-old Australian singer and radio personality, who recently shed 30kg, said that she used to be criticised about her weight when she was larger.

Coulter told Woman's Day magazine: "I've experienced criticism about my body and for being a size 14 woman in the spotlight. That just feels like another symptom of how unhealthy body perception can be.

"It's not easy [losing weight] and there's no quick way to do it healthily. Having a vending machine outside the [radio studio] makes it extremely difficult!"

Coulter said that she was "proud" to be curvy before, but that she is really "happy" now, adding: "In every sense of my life, everything seems balanced and together. I'm very very happy."

Although Coulter's weight loss has been attributed to her fitness instructor boyfriend Richard Harrison, she admitted that they "don't actually train together", revealing that she is happier doing "dance rehearsals with a choreographer" to stay in shape. She has also recently relaunched her music career.
