Big Brother’s Zoe reveals dramatic weight loss

The mummy blogger had a huge transformation. - by New Idea

Big Brother 2020 housemate Zoe George has shared her dramatic two-year weight loss journey before appearing on the show with startling before and after photos.

WATCH: The Big Brother contestants enter the house. 

The mummy blogger and woodwork teacher shared a candid post on her blog The Subtle Mummy detailing how she dropped the kilos after failing to be “blessed with the skinny gene”.

The Big Brother housemate revealed she tried many things that did and didn’t work for her; the biggest was a combination of a Hypoxi machine and cutting sugar.

“Hypoxi isn’t cheap but I did see amazing results without even having to sweat so I do recommend it. Also when you are paying so much you are less likely to binge as it would be an extreme waste of money,” she wrote.

For those wondering, a Hypoxi is a low-impact exercise machine that uses vacuums to speed up the weight loss process.

The mother-of-two also needed a little extra motivation to get back into the gym and decided to hire an exercise physiologist.

Zoe also shared this before and after.

“I struggled with gyms before this as I lacked motivation to go and there was no one pushing me,” she said.

After losing noticeable centimetres from her size, 51 to be exact, Zoe still wasn’t happy with just fitting in her size 10 jeans. She then decided to join her local gym, and started seeing more results.

“I loved doing classes, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Yoga, Zumba, you name it. I got to 78kg and I was feeling strong and fit.”

Baby number 3? Ok so I get this question soooo much and I want to know how you know when you're done? I mean I am super happy with my family dynamic the way it is. Yes, I get clucky whenever I see newborns and my own videos of the kids when they were bubbas but when it comes to baby number 3 and I'm debating about it in my head, I find myself focusing on the cons more than the pros. Is that a sign? I know you never regret having another but I'm so so torn as they get older, questioning whether I'm 100% sure before it's too late. I loved being pregnant, hated labour, struggled with what it did to my body, loved the newborn phase. Thoughts? #baby3 #howdoyouknow

Zoe tried a diet plan but eventually became frustrated and hungry with results that weren’t as good as she'd hoped. Finally, after reaching 73kgs, she found stress was also contributing to the scales.

“Removing this pressure I had put on myself of “I can’t eat this and I can’t eat that” had stressed me out big time! I’ve let go of those last few kilos I was so obsessed with.

"I’m happy I got to the size I wanted in clothes and 73kilos on me and 73kilos on someone else can look so completely different," she added.
