More info Shaughna Phillips, who appeared on Love Island in 2020, has left fans shocked with her new and stunning look in a new Instagram video. The reality TV star is looking incredible after overhauling her lifestyle and focusing on healthy eating, having transformed her body over recent months. Sharing her recent milestone with fans, Shaughna captioned the social media post - which featured a side by side image of her from 14 months ago and now, wearing the same outfit - with: "I won't lie, I still can't believe either of those people are me! "The real secret that no one told me before was you don't need to exercise your ass off (thank god!) I have been doing workouts, but only after I'd done no exercise AT ALL for a month." Shaughna - who is mum to daughter Lucia - claimed that she lost a whopping five stone in weight by changing her metabolism. She continued: "I was told I needed to reset my metabolism. That's according to this amazing dietician I went to. So I just followed her eating plan for a month and only then started exercising again. The workouts I do are these fun combat routines that are only 12 minutes long." The TV personality then revealed to followers that she has put together all the information she'd learned into a 'shred-it plan' for them to follow too. Fans were gobsmacked with her transformation and rushed to the comments section. One wrote: "Absolutely smashed it girly!! Love to hear about you doing it for health reasons," while another said: "Well done, you look amazing." This isn't the first time Shaughna has opened up about her weight loss journey as she previously shared 'before' and 'after' pictures in April , and admitting she couldn't believe the results. At the time, she wrote: “So this has been happening... I’ll be honest even I’m shocked So glad I’ve been taking pictures because honestly, when I look in the mirror, I don’t see any difference, your mind is your biggest enemy sometimes! “And although being accused of editing your pictures when you actually haven’t is the biggest compliment EVER, I haven’t edited the pic on the right, so I thought I’d include the actual Live Photo just for any doubters. “I’ve been trying for a while to get into a better place with my health, mental and physical, so I must admit I am feeling b****y proud of myself today. I’ve spoken openly about struggling with my body image since I was a little girl (breaks my heart to even say that), so to be told I was seriously overweight at a doctors appointment wasn’t great,” she continued. “This hasn’t been overnight, and I still have a way to go. The truth is, there has been weeks where I have found it so easy, and then there’s been months when I’ve seen no change, so I’m really trying to find what works for me, and I think I’m nearly there."
In recent years, the popularity of electric scooters as a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transportation has been on the rise. However, a concerning trend has emerged regarding the use of windshields on electric scooters, posing potential safety hazards for riders and other road users. To address this issue, traffic police authorities in several regions have implemented bans on the use of windshields on electric scooters, prompting the exploration of alternative heating methods to ensure the safety of riders.5 of the Best System Monitoring Tools in Linux
Looking for stocks to buy in 2025? If you are, then it could be worth looking at the three ASX 200 growth shares listed below. They have been named as buys by brokers and tipped to rise strongly from current levels. Here's what they are saying about them: ( ) Analysts at Goldman Sachs think this beaten down pizza chain operator could be an ASX 200 growth share to buy. After a tough couple of years, the broker believes that Domino's fortunes could soon change thanks to its renewed focus on store unit economics. Goldman explains: We believe that DMP's renewed focus on store unit economics and re-investment to ignite topline growth is rightly placed. While there is still significant progress to be made, we believe that earnings has troughed in FY24 and see a path of improvement through FY25. The broker has a buy rating and $39.10 price target on its shares. This suggests that upside of 34% is possible from current levels. ( ) Another ASX 200 growth share that could be a buy is Neuren Pharmaceuticals. It is a pharmaceuticals company that is developing new drug therapies to treat multiple serious neurological disorders that emerge in early childhood and have no or limited approved treatment options. The team at Bell Potter is very bullish on the company and sees a lot of potential in the development of its NNZ-2591 therapy. It said: Neuren Pharmaceuticals is a biotech company that is well-funded via its first asset, DAYBUE, which is an FDA approved trofinetide for the treatment of Rett syndrome. NEU's value is from its second asset, NNZ-2591, which is under development for rare diseases. NNZ-2591, if successful, could lead to a significant increase in revenue and earnings when brought to market. NEU looks attractive on a risk/adjusted basis after the recent sell-off. Bell Potter has a buy rating and $25.00 price target on its shares. This implies potential upside of approximately 100% for investors from current levels. A third ASX 200 growth share that could be a buy for 2025 is Xero. It is a global small business platform provider with approximately 4.2 million subscribers at the last count. They are using its platform to manage core accounting functions like tax and bank reconciliation, and complete other important small business tasks like payroll and payments. Goldman Sachs likes the company due to its huge total addressable market (TAM). The broker explains: Xero is a Global Cloud Accounting SaaS player, with existing focuses in ANZ, UK, North American and SE Asian markets. We see Xero as very well-placed to take advantage of the digitisation of SMBs globally, driven by compelling efficiency benefits and regulatory tailwinds, with >100mn SMBs worldwide representing a >NZ$100bn TAM. Given the company's pivot to profitable growth and corresponding faster earnings ramp, we see an attractive entry point into a global growth story with Xero our preferred large-cap technology name in ANZ – the stock is Buy rated. Goldman currently has a buy rating and $201.00 price target on its shares. This implies potential upside of 21% for investors over the next 12 months.
NoneArsenal crushed Nottingham Forest to end their winless run as skipper Martin Odegaard made a long-awaited injury return. Meanwhile, Chelsea survived a late Leicester scare to put more pressure on Manchester City. Get all the latest football news, highlights and analysis delivered straight to your inbox with Fox Sports Sportmail. Sign up now!!! ARSENAL REIGNITE TITLE HOPES WITH BIG WIN Mikel Arteta said his Arsenal team “flows in a different way” when Martin Odegaard is playing after the Gunners crushed Nottingham Forest 3-0 to end their winless run. Stunning strikes from Bukayo Saka and Thomas Partey and a first Premier League goal for teenager Ethan Nwaneri gave Arsenal a first victory in five league games, reigniting their title challenge. Arsenal, Premier League runners-up for the past two seasons, started the campaign strongly but their form dipped and they kicked off on Saturday nine points behind leaders Liverpool. Victory at the Emirates lifts them to 22 points, level with third-placed Chelsea. Arsenal took the lead in the 15th minute when Saka exchanged passes with Odegaard on the edge of the area before lashing a left-footed shot into the roof of the net. Captain Odegaard was making his first appearance at the Emirates since late August and showed what a huge miss he was for Arsenal during his two-month injury absence. Time and again the Norwegian found space in the penalty area with his quick feet and he teed up Gabriel Jesus, who curled narrowly wide, before linking up with Saka again. Partey doubled Arsenal’s lead early in the second half after collecting Saka’s pass 20 yards out and taking a touch, before curling his shot away from the dive of Matz Sels and inside the far post. Seventeen-year-old Nwaneri tucked away Raheem Sterling’s cutback to wrap up an emphatic win in the 86th minute. “I think we started really well,” Arteta told the BBC. “The sense I was getting in the last 48 hours after the international break, the boys coming together and were all at it.” Speaking about Odegaard, who returned to action at Inter Milan earlier this month, he said: “It’s not a coincidence. The team flows in a different way when he is playing.” And he also had warm words for Nwaneri. “He is the second-youngest (Premier League goalscorer) in our history,” Arteta said. “That’s a story in itself. “He’s brave. You see the reaction of fans and they were singing ‘He’s one of our own’. I think we have to put brick by brick and make sure the cement doesn’t get dry. Hopefully we can build a beautiful thing with him.” CHELSEA SNEAK PAST LEICESTER Chelsea survived a late scare to beat Leicester 2-1 on Enzo Maresca’s return to the King Power Stadium, climbing just a point behind second-placed Manchester City in the Premier League. The visitors looked comfortable after goals from Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez, but they faced a nervy final few minutes after Jordan Ayew pulled a goal back from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time. Chelsea’s win, which came after two draws, lifts them to 22 points — one behind City and three clear of fourth-placed Arsenal ahead of the later kick-offs on Saturday. Maresca said he was proud of his team after so little preparation time following the international break. “The only thing I asked the players before the game, I said, ‘Guys, we have the chance today to make a statement in terms of (who) we are’,” he told TNT Sports. “Because when you play this kind of game, all the clubs that they are behind, like in this moment, I don’t know, Arsenal or Villa or Brighton or (Manchester) United, Tottenham, they are watching. “They are waiting for us to drop points. And we show that we are there. And we’re going to compete until the end and then we’ll see where we arrive.” It was Maresca’s first game at the King Power since he took Leicester back to the Premier League last season in his only campaign at the club. Chelsea took control from the kick-off and Joao Felix, making his first Premier League start of the season, had two early efforts. But the visitors got the goal they deserved when Jackson won his tussle with Leicester defender Wout Faes. The ball fell to Fernandez, who found Jackson and the Senegal forward poked home with the outside of his right foot for his seventh league goal of the season. Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen kept out Noni Madueke’s sharp effort and Madueke had a goal disallowed for a tight offside against Marc Cucurella just after the half-hour. But as the first period wore on there was a momentum shift and Leicester suddenly started looking more dangerous. Steve Cooper’s men broke at pace and Oliver Skipp found Kasey McAteer on the right. McAteer, making his full Premier League debut, cut inside but steered his shot just beyond the far post. Wilfred Ndidi then screwed wide as half-time approached. Chelsea looked certain to double their lead 10 minutes after the restart but somehow contrived to squander the chance, when Madueke got in the way of a Cole Palmer shot on the goalline in a comical episode. England international Madueke did his best to try and jump out of the way of Palmer’s effort but it hit him and rolled out for a goalkick, with Palmer seeing the funny side. But Chelsea did find the net in the 75th minute when Fernandez headed home after Hermansen kept out Jackson’s header. Leicester substitute Stephy Mavididi appeared to have a strong case for a penalty after he tumbled in the box about 10 minutes later but no foul was given. Fellow substitute Ayew did pull a goal back from the penalty spot in the 95th minute after Bobby De Cordova-Reid was brought down but it was too little, too late. Leicester, the 2016 Premier League champions, remain just three points above the relegation zone. OTHER RESULTS Aston Villa are now winless in six games in all competition and had to twice come from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace. Brighton’s incredible start under 31-year-old boss Fabian Hurzeler continued with a 2-1 win at Bournemouth to climb to fifth. Wolves are out of the bottom three thanks to a stunning 4-1 win at Fulham, with Matheus Cunha scoring twice. Everton failed to take advantage of an early red card for Brentford’s Christian Norgaard in a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim takes charge of Manchester United for the first time in the pick of Monday’s action when the Red Devils visit Ipswich.
