After dropping four dress sizes in six months, the singer says she feels unstoppable.
Mahalia Barnes laughs out loud as she looks through a rack of rock-star frocks, ranging from size eight to 10, all designed to hug her incredible new figure and show off her tiny waist and shapely calves.
“I really do feel like I’m half my size,” beams Mahalia, daughter of rock legend Jimmy Barnes. “It’s been amazing. People actually stop me in the street and compliment me.” Since starting Weight Watchers last October, Mahalia has dropped an impressive 19.5kg. Losing 19cm from her bust, 12cm off her waist, 19cm off her hips, 8cm off her thighs and 7cm from her arms, her body has transformed. The singer now weighs 69.9kg.
“I do feel really proud of myself because it hasn’t been without its obstacles,” says the 30-year-old. “There are hard days and hard weeks. There have even been a few when I didn’t lose and even had a gain.
“Now I’ve lost 19 kilos and in my head my weight is heading towards 65 kilos – I know nothing will stop me!” Mahalia says when she looks through old photos – including her wedding album – she had no idea that her weight had crept up to a dangerous level.
