When X Factor’s Mary Byrne set a goal to lose weight she decided that no matter how long it took she would drop three stone.

And as a famous face after appearing on the high-profile talent show she has had access to more expensive and drastic weight loss methods.

But while Mary is hoping to shed some pounds she has revealed she turned down a free gastric band – opting instead for more natural ways to lose weight.

The 51-year-old singer is taking a long-term view of weight-loss in her bid to lose the weight and whatever she is doing it appears to be working and she has told Reveal magazine how she has lost one stone and six pounds slimming down from a size 20.

The mother-of-one said: ‘I’m on a healthy diet. I still have my peanuts and crisps – don’t worry about that- but I am trying to look after my heart.’

The former Tesco cashier told the magazine that her motivation is not to slim down but to look after her body and she said: ‘I’ll still be plump, but I will be healthy.’
