Von XXXL zu XS: Mikaela Cameron aus Sydney hat innerhalb eines Jahres über 60 Kilo abgenommen
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
A woman who weighed more than 20st (127.7kg) lost nearly half her body weight in a year and is now preparing for her first bodybuilding competition.
Mikaela Cameron, 29, says she was “obese, depressed and lost” and knew that she had to reshape her mind and body.
This spurred her on to undergo gastric sleeve surgery in November 2023, after which she lost a staggering 9st 10lb (61.7kg).
But she insists that the operation was not a quick fix - and that losing weight and maintaining her new body requires daily commitment.
"Some days, I'm truly blown away by how much my body has transformed,” she says. “There's no secret: the gastric sleeve changed my life, but it's a tool, and you need to use it right.
“You can regain weight or not lose it. I used it to shift my mindset, change my lifestyle, and take control of my life. Getting the gastric sleeve isn't a quick fix; it's not the answer unless you're ready to put in the work"
She is also quick to correct those who assume her transformation is down to luck.
"I'm not 'lucky' – I work hard,” she says. “I train five days a week, even when I don't feel like it.
“I've completely changed my relationship with food and binging. I see food as fuel and learned to love the foods I once hated because I know they're good for my body."
Mikaela began 2024 weighing 17st 4lb (110kg). By December she was down to 10st 13lb (69.4kg) and now weighs 10st 5lb (66kg).
She had a major setback after developing gallstones, a possible complication with gastric sleeve surgery, and had her gallbladder removed in October.
"My surgery was delayed by seven hours, which had my anxiety through the roof, but I finally made it through. The first few days were tough with intense pain, especially in my shoulders from the gas they use in surgery, but I'm grateful to be surrounded by such an incredible support network," she says.
Mikaela credits her success to consistency and urges other ***

SCHICKSALE - Familienglück in Gefahr: Vater konnte wegen starkem Übergewicht seine Kinder nicht mehr zu Bett bringen
Adam and Nicola on the night he proposed (PA REAL LIFE/Collect) *** Man who was so fat he could not put his children to bed
loses 10 STONE in a year to become a better dad
By James Butler, PA Real Life
A man who was so fat he did not have the energy to put his children to bed has lost 10
STONE in a year - saying it has 'made him a better dad'.
At his biggest in February 11 last year, Adam Newman, 34, from Long Eaton, Derbyshire,
weighed almost 24st - meaning the 6ft manufacturing engineer had a BMI, used to calculate
a healthy weight, of 45.5 and was severely obese.
While many people gained weight during lockdown, Adam took up running and joined WW,
formerly known as Weight Watchers, and the fat melted off, as he lost six stone in the first
five months and hit his lowest weight of 13st 7lbs at the end of February.
His wife, stay at home mum Nicola, 34, was stunned by her husband's new hunky figure. But
his transformation did put a strain on their marriage at first as she struggled with the
attention he got from strangers.
Now the couple are back at their best, with Nicola also losing 12lbs and going from a size 16
to a size 12 after they traded film nights on the sofa scoffing takeaways to working out
together.
She said: "I love him for who he is rather than what he looks like. Even though he looks damn
good now, I've fancied him whatever size he was.
"But when his health began to become a problem, I wanted him to lose weight so he could
still be there for me and the kids.
"Now we're stronger than we've ever been as a couple."
Adam has always struggled with his weight, being one of the largest kids in secondary school
by the time he left and hitting 20st at the age of 18.
Nicola - who was in his year group and shared mutual friends with him - was stunned when
she bumped into him again nine years after they left school on a night out in Long Eaton in
2012.
For having taken up boxing at 20, Adam had swapped some of the fat for muscle and

SCHICKSALE - Familienglück in Gefahr: Vater konnte wegen starkem Übergewicht seine Kinder nicht mehr zu Bett bringen
Adam and Nicola after his weight loss (PA REAL LIFE/Collect) *** Man who was so fat he could not put his children to bed
loses 10 STONE in a year to become a better dad
By James Butler, PA Real Life
A man who was so fat he did not have the energy to put his children to bed has lost 10
STONE in a year - saying it has 'made him a better dad'.
At his biggest in February 11 last year, Adam Newman, 34, from Long Eaton, Derbyshire,
weighed almost 24st - meaning the 6ft manufacturing engineer had a BMI, used to calculate
a healthy weight, of 45.5 and was severely obese.
While many people gained weight during lockdown, Adam took up running and joined WW,
formerly known as Weight Watchers, and the fat melted off, as he lost six stone in the first
five months and hit his lowest weight of 13st 7lbs at the end of February.
His wife, stay at home mum Nicola, 34, was stunned by her husband's new hunky figure. But
his transformation did put a strain on their marriage at first as she struggled with the
attention he got from strangers.
Now the couple are back at their best, with Nicola also losing 12lbs and going from a size 16
to a size 12 after they traded film nights on the sofa scoffing takeaways to working out
together.
She said: "I love him for who he is rather than what he looks like. Even though he looks damn
good now, I've fancied him whatever size he was.
"But when his health began to become a problem, I wanted him to lose weight so he could
still be there for me and the kids.
"Now we're stronger than we've ever been as a couple."
Adam has always struggled with his weight, being one of the largest kids in secondary school
by the time he left and hitting 20st at the age of 18.
Nicola - who was in his year group and shared mutual friends with him - was stunned when
she bumped into him again nine years after they left school on a night out in Long Eaton in
2012.
For having taken up boxing at 20, Adam had swapped some of the fat for muscle and

Adam before his weight loss (PA REAL LIFE/Collect) *** Man who was so fat he could not put his children to bed
loses 10 STONE in a year to become a better dad
By James Butler, PA Real Life
A man who was so fat he did not have the energy to put his children to bed has lost 10
STONE in a year - saying it has 'made him a better dad'.
At his biggest in February 11 last year, Adam Newman, 34, from Long Eaton, Derbyshire,
weighed almost 24st - meaning the 6ft manufacturing engineer had a BMI, used to calculate
a healthy weight, of 45.5 and was severely obese.
While many people gained weight during lockdown, Adam took up running and joined WW,
formerly known as Weight Watchers, and the fat melted off, as he lost six stone in the first
five months and hit his lowest weight of 13st 7lbs at the end of February.
His wife, stay at home mum Nicola, 34, was stunned by her husband's new hunky figure. But
his transformation did put a strain on their marriage at first as she struggled with the
attention he got from strangers.
Now the couple are back at their best, with Nicola also losing 12lbs and going from a size 16
to a size 12 after they traded film nights on the sofa scoffing takeaways to working out
together.
She said: "I love him for who he is rather than what he looks like. Even though he looks damn
good now, I've fancied him whatever size he was.
"But when his health began to become a problem, I wanted him to lose weight so he could
still be there for me and the kids.
"Now we're stronger than we've ever been as a couple."
Adam has always struggled with his weight, being one of the largest kids in secondary school
by the time he left and hitting 20st at the age of 18.

Joanna and her husband went on long walks during lockdown. PA REAL LIFE *** Woman loses two stone by cooking up healthy fakeaways recreating everything from
KFC to fish and chips while furloughed at home
By Susan Clark, PA Real Life
A takeaway fan who was furloughed during the pandemic told how she focused on getting
fit - combining exercise with cooking up healthy "fakeaway" dishes and losing nearly two
stone.
When Joanna Blackwell, 31, was furloughed from March to August 2020 and eventually
made redundant from her job delivering spectacles to the elderly and housebound,
instead of panicking, she put her lifestyle under the spotlight.
Stuck at home in Noak Bridge, near Basildon, Essex, with husband Jay, 33, who, as a
self-employed tattoo artist could not work because of Covid-19 restrictions, and their
Chihuahua dogs - brothers Bear and Pedro, three - she was determined to get healthy.
Soon Joanna, who at 5ft 8in entered the first lockdown weighing 15st - giving her a body
mass index (BMI) used to gauge a healthy weight, of 31.8 compared to the NHS healthy
range of 18.5 to 24.9, classing her as obese - was cooking up low fat versions of
everything from KFC to balti curries.
Posting pictures of her mouthwatering dishes on Instagram, where she has 9,200
followers, she created a storm - also slimming down to 13st 4lb and swapping her size 18
dresses for a 12/14, while Jay also lost a stone.
She said: It has been really tough, but when lockdown started, I saw it as a chance to get
the healthiest I can be.
I like to cook from scratch, but when I was working, Id come home tired after a long day,
so wed often just have a takeaway.
I like food that is made from fresh ingredients but also tastes nice, so with the fakeaways
I make, they may not be the healthiest, and you may feel youre being a bit naughty, but
they are very tasty and definitely much healthier than a takeaway would be.

Joanna created a balti-style 'fakeaway' meal. PA REAL LIFE *** Woman loses two stone by cooking up healthy fakeaways recreating everything from
KFC to fish and chips while furloughed at home
By Susan Clark, PA Real Life
A takeaway fan who was furloughed during the pandemic told how she focused on getting
fit - combining exercise with cooking up healthy "fakeaway" dishes and losing nearly two
stone.
When Joanna Blackwell, 31, was furloughed from March to August 2020 and eventually
made redundant from her job delivering spectacles to the elderly and housebound,
instead of panicking, she put her lifestyle under the spotlight.
Stuck at home in Noak Bridge, near Basildon, Essex, with husband Jay, 33, who, as a
self-employed tattoo artist could not work because of Covid-19 restrictions, and their
Chihuahua dogs - brothers Bear and Pedro, three - she was determined to get healthy.
Soon Joanna, who at 5ft 8in entered the first lockdown weighing 15st - giving her a body
mass index (BMI) used to gauge a healthy weight, of 31.8 compared to the NHS healthy
range of 18.5 to 24.9, classing her as obese - was cooking up low fat versions of
everything from KFC to balti curries.
Posting pictures of her mouthwatering dishes on Instagram, where she has 9,200
followers, she created a storm - also slimming down to 13st 4lb and swapping her size 18
dresses for a 12/14, while Jay also lost a stone.
She said: It has been really tough, but when lockdown started, I saw it as a chance to get
the healthiest I can be.
I like to cook from scratch, but when I was working, Id come home tired after a long day,
so wed often just have a takeaway.
I like food that is made from fresh ingredients but also tastes nice, so with the fakeaways
I make, they may not be the healthiest, and you may feel youre being a bit naughty, but
they are very tasty and definitely much healthier than a takeaway would be.
I use an air fryer for chips instead of deep frying them in fat and I try *

SCHICKSALE - Familienglück in Gefahr: Vater konnte wegen starkem Übergewicht seine Kinder nicht mehr zu Bett bringen
Adam playing with his son on holiday in Cornwall in 2020 (PA REAL LIFE/Collect) *** Man who was so fat he could not put his children to bed
loses 10 STONE in a year to become a better dad
By James Butler, PA Real Life
A man who was so fat he did not have the energy to put his children to bed has lost 10
STONE in a year - saying it has 'made him a better dad'.
At his biggest in February 11 last year, Adam Newman, 34, from Long Eaton, Derbyshire,
weighed almost 24st - meaning the 6ft manufacturing engineer had a BMI, used to calculate
a healthy weight, of 45.5 and was severely obese.
While many people gained weight during lockdown, Adam took up running and joined WW,
formerly known as Weight Watchers, and the fat melted off, as he lost six stone in the first
five months and hit his lowest weight of 13st 7lbs at the end of February.
His wife, stay at home mum Nicola, 34, was stunned by her husband's new hunky figure. But
his transformation did put a strain on their marriage at first as she struggled with the
attention he got from strangers.
Now the couple are back at their best, with Nicola also losing 12lbs and going from a size 16
to a size 12 after they traded film nights on the sofa scoffing takeaways to working out
together.
She said: "I love him for who he is rather than what he looks like. Even though he looks damn
good now, I've fancied him whatever size he was.
"But when his health began to become a problem, I wanted him to lose weight so he could
still be there for me and the kids.
"Now we're stronger than we've ever been as a couple."
Adam has always struggled with his weight, being one of the largest kids in secondary school
by the time he left and hitting 20st at the age of 18.
Nicola - who was in his year group and shared mutual friends with him - was stunned when
she bumped into him again nine years after they left school on a night out in Long Eaton in
2012.
For having taken up boxing at 20, Adam had swapped some of the fat
