Brooke’s big loss a real win

THE Voice contestant Brooke Schubert was given a new lease on life after losing half her body weight.
The 30-year-old mother-oftwo, who hails from the North Queensland mining town of Moranbah, said she had always been a confident person but recently dropping 75kg and “getting to know herself again” made her feel she could do anything.
“I feel like now there’s no facade and now I can put myself out there and release more music and for it to be who I really am,” she said.
Schubert, who last night landed a spot on Team Seal singing Celine Dion’s Taking
Chances at the blind auditions, lost 30kg on a low calorie diet before having a vertical sleeve gastrectomy.
“I looked at the scales one day and I was 150kg and I was just like ‘you know what, I can’t actually do this, this is ridiculous I need to change’,” she said.
Schubert is moving to Brisbane with her husband Christian and sons Jonah, 4, and Jeremiah, 2, in the coming weeks.
After uploading a YouTube video titled Dear Keith Urban asking to sing with him at his show in Townsville in 2014, the Caboolture-raised star not only invited her on stage but had her join him for the rest of his Australian tour.
