The Bachelor’s Lisa Carlton celebrates incredible bodybuilding win

She was a front runner to win Matthew ‘Matty J’ Johnson’s heart on The Bachelor. 

But after failing to find love on reality TV, Lisa Carlton has taken on a new challenge.

The 25-year old competed and placed in the ICN bodybuilding competition in Melbourne, Victoria over the weekend, and showed off her incredible body transformation.

The blonde beauty competed in the first level of the female competition, which is called ‘bikini model’.

Lisa, who is now dating former Collingwood VFL footy star Billy Barden, flaunted her toned figure in a orange and white triangle bikini. 

The very tanned beauty paired her glitzy two-piece with sparkly silver earrings and platform heels.

Lisa placed first in the First Timer category, second in the Open category and third in the Novice category. 

She trained for 20 weeks in the lead up to the competition at Moonee Valley Racing Club.

The fitness fanatic said that her training and diet was specifically tailored to her individual needs.

‘I am ditching my morning long black coffee and treating myself to an almond milk cappuccino with extra chocolate on top,’ Lisa captioned a series of images recently uploaded to Instagram.

Lisa gained fame after she was one of the front runners on The Bachelor in 2017.

While she may not have won Matty J’s heart, she did find love outside the show with Billy, who pleaded guilty in 2014 to trafficking cocaine.

He escaped conviction, and was fined $5,000.

But the former footy star appears to have well and truly turned his life around after he opened an eatery.
