She’s previously tipped the scales at almost 120kg.

According to her pal, Guy – who Tziporah previously dated in her teens – has been walking with her and motivating her to get healthy.
‘Guy has been training her and walking with her each day to encourage her, because she genuinely wants to get her body back in shape – it’s working!’ they claimed.
Tziporah – who used to be known as Kate Fischer – reportedly wants to lose another 10kg next year.

The former model shed 14kg on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! this year, but put the weight back on when she returned home from the jungle.
She broke her foot in August in a freak accident with a 75kg iron gate, which no doubt caused her to stop exercising.
Her goal weight is reportedly 80kg or 90kg.
The friend added: ‘She hasn’t been this confident in years and is so proud of what she’s achieved.’
Kate recently told Now to Love about her past eating disorders, admitting earlier this year: ‘As a model I starved myself for 20 years.’

She explained how her eating habits soon changed after her modelling days were behind her: ‘I gave up for a while… and I sort of went “I don’t care anymore.”‘
‘But then I became morbidly obese’.
In her modelling days, the brunette posed up for the likes of GQ and Vogue.
It was recently revealed that Tziporah was required to shed a whopping 20kg as part of a paid magazine deal after her time on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!.

Earlier this month, it was reported by The Daily Telegraph that the former nineties ‘IT girl’ needed to shed 20kg to make money on a story with New Idea.
Interestingly, it was Tziporah’s manager and well-known publicist Max Markson who broke the news.
‘Tziporah has to lose 20kg as part of the arrangement and an 800 calorie a day diet is helpful,’ he said of the magazine deal, which was made after the model-turned-reclusive aged care worker was ‘found’ in Melbourne.

Comments made to the publication before Tziporah entered the jungle revealed there’s more than just finances that could be at risk if she fails to uphold her deal.
‘I am unhealthy, my doctor says I am on the brink of diabetes and my back is going to get very sore doing the job that I do if I don’t lose weight,’ Tziporah said at the time.
‘I will lose weight (in the jungle).’
