First Dates waitress Cici Coleman shares before and after bikini pictures

First Dates waitress Cici Coleman shared a before and after picture of herself while wearing a black bikini on Instagram on Thursday. 

The pictures were taken four months apart and Cici said she had been moaning to her friends after she took up yoga but didn’t feel as though her body had changed and couldn’t see the transformation until the pictures were placed side by side. 

Cici, 33, looks incredible in both pictures but more importantly, she said that in her before snap, she was in a place where she was struggling with her mental health. 

She wrote: ‘These pictures are taken 4 months apart. The one of the left I remember looking at and feeling good about the fact that I’d lost 2lbs. 

‘Now when I look at it, I remember what a bad headspace I was in and how stressed I was. I wasn’t eating enough and was just trying to get through the day without crying.

‘I then had a word with myself, and started listening to lots of Oprah podcasts, I was meditating and got on top of my yoga practice.

‘I completed my teaching training in Inferno Hot Pilates and spent time focusing on what I wanted around me and ‘who’ I wanted around me. 

‘Then pow, that little ***t called Lockdown presented itself. It really poked at my mental state and seemed to test all the things I’d been working so hard on.’

Cici admitted that her moods can swing significantly while in lockdown. 

She said: ‘Some days I wake up and wanna dance around my living room, other days I wanna faceplant the floor. 

‘Either way, it’s not a touch on how s***ty I was feeling in the picture on the left. _ This week I’ve been moaning a bit to friends about how I’m not seeing any changes in my body even after all this working out, so I took my own advice that I give to my Hot Pilates Team and did a ‘before and after’. 

‘I didn’t realise how scary it was, but equally invigorating. The picture on the right I took this morning in which I’ve gained 3lbs in.

‘This is the result of taking six Hot Pilates classes a week for the last six weeks, along with a diet full of lockdown snacking (That fridge gets opened probably every hour). 

‘After seeing the above results my new goal is to get on top of my eating also, and then who knows what can be achieved. 

‘Second goal is to stop being such a p***y about putting up a bikini pic. Today. _ Why not jump out of your comfort zone today. You never know until you try @cici_hotpilates_infopage.’
