Love is Blind’s Irina Solomonova Shows Off Her Impressive One-Year-Old Body Transformation… And Candidly Admits Snaps ‘Were So Hard To Share’

Irina Solomonova shared beautiful images on her Instagram stories on Thursday.

In her Instagram stories, the 26-year-old Love is Blind alum showed off her year-long fitness transformation, uploading before-and-after photos of her side profile, which were taken in front of bathroom mirrors from July 2022 and July 2023.

“It was so hard for me to share them, but also so proud of my body. Making small choices that only help me feel better inside and out,” Solomonova wrote around one of the photos she posted to her Instagram stories.

“But also so proud of my body and making small choices that only help me feel better inside and out.”

The July 2022 photo was a mirror selfie of Solomonova’s side profile and showed her in a gray colored sports bra and blue leggings. The Reality Star had her long black locks lightly styled in a high ponytail.

For reasons unknown, she decided to cover her face by drawing a thick black line (which she did with the highlighter pencils seen in photo editing tabs on iPhones) and placing it all over her face.

Meanwhile, the image on her July 2023 Instagram stories was another mirror selfie (this one in a gym locker room) taken from Solomonova’s side profile, highlighting her toned and flat stomach.

In the July 2023 photo, Solomonova wore a bright red sports bra and white shorts. She also had a blue shower towel wrapped around her head because she had just gotten out of the shower before taking the mirror selfie.

Also, a green gym bag and a Starbucks iced coffee drink were displayed on the gray countertop in the bathroom below the mirror the 26-year-old woman made of herself.

Solomonova also revealed how she started exercising regularly about three months ago and has devoted the past year to her health, noting that “staying consistent” was the most important thing to her.

”I found those pictures a few days ago and I was like, ‘Oh my God. I didn’t even realize how much my body changed, and I’m so proud of myself,” said the 26-year-old.

Solomonova then stated that before she found a gym routine that worked for her, she never knew how to start or pushed herself too hard while working out and would lose motivation.

Her go-to gym routine is the “12-3-30” incline while also holding “steering.”

The 26-year-old also revealed that in addition to her new gym routine, she started taking a new supplement that helped “stabilize” her blood sugar and control her cravings. Reluctantly, she revealed that the name of the supplement she started taking was berberine.

Solomonova encouraged her 104,000 Instagram followers to “do their research” and consult their doctors before deciding to purchase the product, which she confessed to giving up because she “ran out.”

She also shared a screenshot of an article Narcity Canada wrote about her berberine use on her Instagram stories.
