She was determined to overhaul her image after her partying lifestyle left her feeling 'disgusting'.
And Frankie Essex appears to be fighting fit as she continues her battle to lose weight.

Punching off her weight: Frankie Essex was fighting fit as she took to the park for a workout this week
She's been fighting the flab for several
months now and her hard work seems to be paying off. And despite wearing
shorts a few sizes too small here, Frankie is still looking on her way
to great shape.
Donning mint seperates, Frankie showed off her taut tum and she topped off the whole outfit with black, white and pink Nike trainers.
Now that people are getting more and more involved in the fitness game, prettier sportswear is being made to meet demands and we are loving it. These Nikes are fairly classic with a pink hue to them, making them a great all-round pair. You can snap up Frankie's trainers (right,) although with black laces.

The
27-year-old headed to her local park in Essex this week to keep up her
hard work - and certainly packs a punch in her workouts.
Frankie
showed off her newly trim tummy as she fought her way through a
gruelling workout, which included hula-hooping, rope pulling and boxing
training.
Braving
the freezing November weather, the blonde - who is the sister of
reality TV favourite Joey Essex - opted for a skimpy turquoise
two-piece.
Before
her workout, she took to Twitter to tells her followers she was
thrilled with the results so far - but admitted she still had some way
to go to reaching her goal.

She wrote: 'Morning off for a workout today! Love my stomach but need to work more on my legs.'
Her body was noticeably different from when she was spotted working out in September at the beginning of her new health kick.
Speaking to MailOnline, Frankie, who is 5 ft 7in, said that she felt fantastic after slimming down to 10st 7lbs.
She gushed: 'I do feel like a new woman. I was panic-stricken when I first started working out with the trainer.
'I didn't think I would be able to cope and there were times when I was so worried about it that I had difficulty breathing.

'But
once I got into a regular routine, I could really feel my life turning
around. I now feel so much more confident and healthier.'
Frankie,
who has been using using Forza Supplements' Raspberry K2 capsules to
help shift the weight, admitted that she walked away from the hit ITV
show after growing tired of the long hours, which was a catalyst for her
unhealthy habits.
She explained: 'I'd had enough in the end. We lived off Domino's Pizza and we'd be eating and drinking at all the wrong times.

'I'd be drinking glasses of wine and filming nightclub scenes at 10am!'
The
haircare entrepreneur also revealed that the pressure of being in the
public eye alongside much-scrutinised co-star Lauren Goodger eventually
proved too much.
She
said: 'I remember going away to Miami with Lauren and we were both
pictured on the beach looking absolutely awful. I looked at the
magazines and thought: "Oh my God, what the hell do we look like".
'We
both promised that we would lose weight after seeing the pictures and
we both did get thinner. The trouble was the weight went back on a few
weeks later.'
Party problems: Frankie revealed that
her diet was out of control while she appeared on The Only Way Is Essex
due to the hectic filming schedule, which would see her start drinking
wine at 10am and chowing down on takeaway pizzas
