Tommy Mallet has unveiled a dramatic weight loss transformation on Instagram, saying that adopting a more disciplined lifestyle has changed far more than his appearance.
The 34-year-old TOWIE star said exercise marked the beginning of his fitness journey. He has since given up alcohol and made healthier food choices.
Tommy also revealed that he feels happier now, admitting he had previously been in a “terrible place” both physically and mentally.
In a series of Instagram posts, the reality star shared a shirtless selfie showing his muscular physique after committing to regular gym sessions, alongside a photograph from before his transformation.
Alongside the images, Tommy wrote: “There’s a much bigger transformation here than just losing weight.”
He continued: “The photo on the left was taken at a time when I was in a terrible place, physically and mentally.”
Tommy Mallet has revealed his weight loss transformation on Instagram, saying he became more disciplined in his approach to his lifestyle
The 34-year-old TOWIE star said exercise kick-started his weight loss journey, while giving up alcohol and eating more healthily also helped him make progress
“I was building my first company and completely let myself go in the process. I was obsessed with building the business, chasing success and proving what I could achieve, but I wasn’t looking after the person building it.
“I couldn’t understand why I felt so bad. Then I started learning how my own brain worked. I started becoming more disciplined with the things I could control.
“I stopped drinking. I stopped eating things that I knew made me feel terrible afterwards. I started training consistently. I started looking after my mind as much as my body.
“But I didn’t become obsessive. I still eat what I want. I still have loads of ice cream with my kids. I still enjoy my life. The difference is balance.
“I used to think success meant sacrificing everything to get where you wanted to go. Now I think real success is building the life you want without losing yourself along the way.
“The biggest change between these two photos isn’t my body. It’s that I’m happier. More disciplined. More present. And I understand myself better than I ever have.”
Tommy added: “You don’t need to change everything overnight. Start keeping the small promises you make to yourself. Your body changes. Your mind changes. Your confidence changes. And eventually, your whole life can change.
“Look after the person who’s chasing the dream.”
Tommy said the most significant difference between the two photographs was not his body, but feeling happier, more disciplined and more present
The update comes after Tommy’s wife, Georgia Kousoulou, revealed her three-stone weight loss earlier this year, pictured before her transformation
Tommy’s update comes after his wife, Georgia Kousoulou, shared her own three-stone weight loss transformation earlier this year.
The 35-year-old TOWIE star proudly displayed her gym-honed figure in a burgundy thong bikini on Instagram.
Georgia, who previously hit back at speculation she has used weight loss jabs, credited Pilates for helping her achieve toned abs.
She wrote: ‘Post Pilates & good lighting Training has become more than just staying in shape, it’s honestly more for my mind now. If I don’t train I get groggy, tired & irritable. I try to do 2-3 Pilates a week & one gym session! anyone else the same? If I haven’t trained.. stay away.’
Georgia has lost three stone since the birth of her daughter Gigi. She welcomed her daughter Gigi with husband Tommy in 2024 after undergoing IVF, one year after tragically suffering a miscarriage.
She previously shut down speculation that she used weight-loss injections to achieve her slimmed-down figure.
The star blasted the claims when she commented on a post and revealed exactly how she shed the many stone she has.
‘Oh the comments,’ she said, complete with a laughing face emoji.
Georgia went on: ‘People hate to see it because they can’t imagine doing the hard work themselves.
‘3 stone I have lost in 8 months. On average the maximum I have lost a week is about 1&half 2lbs.
‘That isn’t a jab that is HARD HARD exercise & full control & determination. Plus a wedding for motivation!’
She added: ‘I have nothing against the jab at all. Of course it crossed my mind, but I thought I would try this first because I have done it 10000 times before.’
