The Biggest Loser star Alison Braun is living proof that you can shed weight and keep it off.
Seven years after appearing on the show, the 42-year-old mum-of-three has shared an amazing bikini selfie of
herself while on holiday in Bali with her kids.
“Yes I know a shameless selfie … why? Because never did I think I would ever take a pic of me in a bikini in Bali,” Alison wrote on Facebook.
“I never wanted to come to Bali because at 122kg I never felt like I fitted in. I still can’t believe just how much life I missed out on.”
Alison lost 55.2kg while competing on season three of The Biggest Loser Australia in 2008. The WA mum revealed earlier this year that she’d since lost another nine kilograms.
Her secret? No shortcuts unfortunately. It’s all about a strict diet and exercise regime.
“When I wake up at 4.50am, my routine is turn off alarm, take pre-trainer [supplement], have shower [and] put on gym clothes … this is my clockwork routine everyday,” she posted on Facebook earlier this year.
Alison admits keeping the weight off hasn’t always been easy.
She tragically lost her partner of 14 years soon after appearing on The Biggest Loser, following a long battle with depression. She went on to become an ambassador for the HelpMe campaign for Lifeline Western Australia, working to help break down the stigma of mental illness, depression and suicide.
Currently enjoying a gorgeous holiday with her family, the Perth mother-of-three also shared a throwback photo on Facebook of a weigh-in on The Biggest Loser Australia, where she tipped the scales at 121.7kg.
“It was a big struggle for me and there have been many ups and downs – 2008 was both the best and the worst year of my life,” she told Perth Now.
“I was worried that after my husband died that I would turn to food in my grief. All of us in the house were emotional eaters and when my husband died it was the hardest thing I had to deal with.”
