‘I’M WEARING A BIKINI FOR THE FIRST TIME!’

She wowed audiences when she revealed her whopping 80kg weight loss in September, but Cassandra isn’t done losing weight yet! “Before the show even went to air, I’d lost another 20kg,” she says of her incredible transformation. “I’ve lost 102kg altogether.”

Cassandra, 37, underwent gastric band surgery to help achieve her amazing results after weighing in at 180kg. But she says now her focus is on exercising rather than dieting.

Since losing the weight, she’s decided she wants to improve her muscle definition. So, in addition to mountain bike riding, running, yoga and kayaking every week, she sees a personal trainer to work on her strength.

Cassandra is also training for her very first triathlon! “Yesterday I wore a bikini top to the beach for the first time ever,” she says of her newfound body confidence. “I’m actually living now – before I was barely existing. I was miserable.”
