22 Kids and Counting star Sue Radford looks unrecognisable<\/a> after dropping two stone with a simple exercise routine and mental shift. Wanting to prioritise her physical health, the mum-of-22 has been hitting the gym <\/a>on a regular basis – and has lost so much weight people have been mistaking her for one of her daughters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram<\/a> post, she shared the two exercises that helped her drop dress sizes. She said: “Did 30 minutes on the treadmill, burned off 207 calories. Did 15 minutes on the stairmaster today. I’m aiming for 20 minutes tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

After this, she spent around 25 minutes having a hydromassage, which helps to reduce stress, improve circulation, and aid muscle recovery. It comes after Sue shared<\/a> a mirror selfie in a matching black gym set, showing off her weight loss.<\/p>\n

Her Instagram post read: “Housework done. Tip run done. Car changed. Now time for the gym. Productive Monday. #Motivation #Gym #Housework.”<\/p>\n

Fans shared their delight for the 50-year-old in the comments, with one saying: “I thought this was Sophie for a second!”<\/p>\n

Another user added: “Thought you were one of the girls… Well done, Sue.”<\/p>\n

A third user said: “You look amazing, Sue.” Another user said: “Wow, amazing.” One more user added: “You go, girl.”<\/p>\n

Last year, Sue revealed she had committed to a fitness journey and had already lost around two stone.<\/p>\n

Later, she shared her joy after reaching the “eight-stone bracket,” which had been her goal weight, adding that size 12 trousers are now loose on her.<\/p>\n

She said on Instagram: “I never thought I’d ever wear anything like this again, but I feel so much healthier and more confident after losing nearly two stone.<\/p>\n

“I had put on so much weight just eating rubbish food and felt awful.<\/p>\n

“I’m now back in the eight-stone bracket, which is where I wanted to be, so I’m really chuffed.”<\/p>\n

Sue is known for being the matriarch of Britain’s biggest family. She was just 14 years old when she welcomed her first child, Christopher, now aged 36.<\/p>\n

Following his birth, she went on to have Sophie, now 32, Chloe, 30, Jack, 28; Daniel, 26, Luke, 25, Millie, 24, Katie, 23, James, 22, Ellie, 20, Aimee, 19, Josh, 18, Max, 17, Tillie, 15, Oscar, 14, Casper, 13, Alfie, who was stillborn in 2014, Hallie, 10, Phoebe, nine, Archie, eight, Bonnie, seven, and Heidie, five.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"22 Kids and Counting star Sue Radford has shared her workout routine after dropping two stone and being…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":246220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[565,134,111,139,69,47620,143845],"class_list":{"0":"post-246219","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fitness","8":"tag-fitness","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-new-zealand","11":"tag-newzealand","12":"tag-nz","13":"tag-selfies","14":"tag-sue-radford"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
