Casey Donovan reflects on remarkable body transformation

She’s been on a mission to lose 100 kilograms since earlier this year.

And Casey Donovan has reflected on losing an incredible 23 kilos in the space of 15 weeks.

The 29-year-old told her Instagram followers on Sunday that while it’s not always easy to stay motivated, she ‘never wants to go back’ to her previous weight of 149 kilos and is willing to stick to her strict routine.

‘When Motivation lacks, I look at how far I’ve come and I don’t ever want to go back to that girl in the white singlet!’ the singer captioned referring to a ‘before’ photo.

‘[Weight loss coaching] has changed my life, not only in shape and size but my mindset.

She added: ‘It’s not an easy road, (I’m not going to lie) but the payoff is so rewarding! Just to feel better in health and be able to run a little longer each week makes me feel so much stronger in the person I am, and how proud I am of myself for coming this far!’

In an interview with Woman’s Day last week, the singer revealed the secrets to her incredible transformation after it was revealed she’s lost 36 kilos since her stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

‘I could see myself making all the same mistakes and I knew I had to do something,’ she explained to the publication, adding that she signed up to online service Weight Loss Coaching Works in June to assist with her challenge. 

Casey also said she ‘swapped a diet of fast food and carb-heavy meals for a high protein diet and started to walk up to 15,000 steps a day.’

‘Everyone has noticed the weight loss and everyone has been really nice about it,’ Casey added.

The star also said she’s been increasing her exercise intake to include swimming and she’s about to start boxing and weights 

Earlier this year Casey, who began I’m A Celebrity weighing 149 kilos, vowed to reach her goal weight of under 100 kilos after the show. 

‘I would like to continue on, you know, kind of eating clean and not going back to old habits,’ she told her camp-mates.

‘Although I am happy and confident in my own skin now, I would like to feel how it is to be happy and confident in a new skin and with a new look on life.’

She lost an incredible 17 kilos during her six weeks in the South African jungle.

A basic diet of rice and beans – supplemented by food won in tucker trials – helped Casey reach a weight of 132 kilos.

‘I didn’t expect 17kgs, I was maybe thinking five or eight,’ she said.

‘I’m happy. I’m never confident about weight, it is something that I don’t like to stand on scales.’

The pair were snapped working out together at Bondi Beach in June and shared snaps on Instagram.

Kris captioned an image: ‘A jungle promise is a jungle promise, finally a walk with the busy champ @caseydonovan88.’

On the show, he said: ‘I want to know, fellow Sydneysider, how I can help.’

‘Even if it’s just meeting up and going for a walk… [or] just talking about your diet, even if it’s just a phone call and you go, ‘Look, struggling, how can I get past this part.’ 

Last month, Casey told Yahoo that despite her drastic weight loss, she still gets ‘fat shamed all the f**king time.’

‘I’m doing my very best but you know it’s hard. It’s been on and off with travel. When you’re on the road it’s very, very tricky.’
