DOWN 50KG! Kate Fischer is BACK - and does NOT look like this anymore!

We can’t believe how different she looks! - by Amy Sinclair
  • 06 May 2019

She’s back to the same size she was when called Kate Fischer, a top model and famously the fiancée of James Packer.

With the glow and confidence of her younger self restored along with her new body, it seems Tziporah’s transformation has returned her to her former glory and the Sirens actress hopes to return to modelling as soon as she can.

DOWN 50KG! Kate Fischer is BACK - and does NOT look like this anymore!

“My arms and legs are so much trimmer, I look like a bloody giraffe!” she tells New Idea.

“And because there’s less flesh around my face I think it makes my eyes look bigger. Really, I feel completely different,” adds the star of  I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, face aglow.

Of course, back when she was in the African jungle, scowling for the cameras as bugs crawled all over her, viewers saw her at her heaviest and unhappiest.

... As is back to looking just like she did in the 1990s!

Then, weighing close to her peak of 120kg, just lifting a sack of millipedes was exhausting.

“I was in such bad shape, mentally and physically. The producers would never pick me for anything too physical like bungee jumping back then, and I don’t really blame them, I was too big and unhealthy,” Tziporah reflects.

“But now ... well, it’s a different story. I can walk for miles without panting and sweating. Plus, a lot of emotional heaviness has lifted, along with the extra weight. I’m a different person!”

It’s two years since Tziporah first declared to New Idea that she was ready to lose weight, after being advised by her doctor that she was morbidly obese and faced serious health problems if she didn’t change her life.

She took heed, but the weight loss was gradual; there were so many habits to change.

Back when she lived in Melbourne, working at an aged-care centre, she’d relished returning to her flat and tucking into a cheese platter with wine.

“It wasn’t a healthy lifestyle and it’s taken me a long time to break those long-standing habits. They were all tied in with the chronic depression I’ve suffered for years,” she reveals.

But gradually, with the help of personal trainers, most recently NSW trainer Ivan Murray, Tziporah shed her couch potato lifestyle and low self-esteem.

Long daily walks and weight sessions at the gym have replaced time eating Camembert and watching junk on TV.

“There were stops, starts and setbacks along the way. I mean, on occasion, I’d party with friends and wine and pizzas came into it – of course they did!” she chuckles.

“But sooner or later, I’d listen to my personal trainer and try harder.”

The results are obvious – but it’s not just about looking better. Gone are the painful joints, aching back and pre-diabetic diagnosis that came from carrying that excess weight.

But perhaps most importantly, “I no longer hate myself, I actually really like me!”

The transformation is unbelievable!

“Now, I have so much energy, I feel amazing,” she positively purrs, gazing out to the rolling green hills of the NSW South Coast where much of her weight loss has taken place.

It’s here that she has had regular consultations with hypnotherapist Mark Stephens, the man she credits with helping her to change her mindset and work on her dietary goals.

“Now, whenever I pass the lolly section at the supermarket, a mantra Mark taught me rings in my ears: ‘I don’t want it, I don’t need it, I won’t have it!’ And instead of stacking up on chips and cheese, I head for the carrots and celery!”

Further, “Mark’s taught me to remove the negative emotion when reliving significant past events in my life,” she nods.

“So I’m not just lighter, I feel I’ve had an inner makeover, if you like, because I see things in a more positive, healthy way, thanks to Mark.”

She says she no longer feels depressed, “and these days I’m only on light medication but I’ll be working with my psychiatrist to see about reducing that”.

And she’s looking forward to replacing all her old clothes – now way too baggy – with new outfits.

“Here at Mark’s property I only had my larger, old clothes, which I’ll soon be donating to Vinnie’s. I went for a walk and my pants actually fell off altogether, they were so big – thankfully only a kangaroo saw me!” she giggles again.

“As I said last time, I’m ready to wear tiny shorts again – yippee!”

Now that she’s finally reached her weight-loss goal, Tziporah says she’s ready to focus on more TV and modelling opportunities.

“I’ve got so much energy to spare, I’m also going to learn jujitsu!” she nods.
