RTE star Louise McSharry has told how she’s dropped over two stone – over fears she would be too unfit if she had kids.
The 2FM presenter – who is filling in for Ryan Tubridy this week – said it has been a huge battle for her over the years.
“I’m someone who has never been thin, my whole life. People always say, ‘If I could go back to my dream weight, I’d go back to when I was 22.’
“Well I’d have to go back to when I was an infant because I was always overweight, always.

“I’ve lost weight before and I’ve gained weight and I’ve lost it and gained it, I have never been a size 14, I’ve always been a size 16 or over. At my biggest size, I was probably a 22.”
Determined Louise started making changes 12 weeks ago – and hired a personal trainer.
But Louise insisted despite having an upcoming wedding to fiance Gordon, her want to slim down wasn’t to look good in a dress.
“My boyfriend likes to cycle and I would never even think of going out and cycling with him because I wouldn’t be able to I’d be so sweaty, I’d just fail.
“I also started to think about my future and I want to be able to run around with my kids and not be out of breath sitting on the sidelines, watching my future husband playing with my kids thinking ‘I can’t do that’ because I’m too unfit.”
