Saira Khan shows off weight loss after just 7 weeks of training

She is training for the Pure Elite Body Transformation 2020 competition.

And on Tuesday, Loose Women star Saira Khan showed what a difference seven weeks can make, as she took to Instagram to demonstrate that she can now almost fit into a pair of jeans that previously wouldn’t pull up over her knees.

Posting a snap of her in her underwear slipping on the jeans, next to one of her doing the same thing nearly two months ago, Saira, 49, captioned the snap: ‘Remember my Jeans that would not go past my knees, which made me determined to get into them by my 50th birthday!! Well I’m making progress, we’re up to the thighs!

‘I’ve got until May 15th to zip them up. We all need a focus to take our minds off things that worry and upset us and as I’m not going anywhere for the foreseeable future – these jeans are a great distraction.’

Saira was referring to the fact that she and her family are currently in lockdown amid the coronavrirus crisis – as is the rest of the UK. 

In comparison, she posted the first jeans snap seven weeks ago, captioning it: ‘How the heck did that happen! I can’t even get them over my knees!

‘I’m bloody determined to get into them! Saira V Jeans! Play the rocky music! The fight is on!’

Saira is certainly making progress, taking to her stories on Tuesday to take part in a work out with her children from home.

Later she was seen out in her back yard, undertaking a gruelling at-home circuits routine, now that gyms are shut and the UK are all instructed to stay inside.

Saira has enlisted personal trainer Bradley Simmonds for her transformation, who has also been running online at-home training sessions via Instagram to help his followers stay fit during the COVID-19 quarantine.

When she announced her challenge a few weeks ago, Saira said: ‘Bradley is a transformation expert. We will share and detail everything we are doing and eating so anyone who wants to gain knowledge and an insight into healthy, happy and sustainable body transformation they can get all the info they want.

‘We are all about honestly, sharing, inspiring and supporting others to be the best version of themselves. 

‘Bradley is not about banning any food – he’s about making mindful choices! Now all I need is energy, time and effort.

‘There’s so much confusion out there about health, fitness and transformation. Let’s see what really works!’

Saira’s gig as a Loose Women panelist, meanwhile, is currently on hold, as the female-led ITV panel show has been shut down amid the current pandemic.

ITV now air repeat episodes from the show’s back-catalogue in their 12:30PM Monday-Friday time-slots, and will do for the foreseeable future.
