The Voice‘s Brooke has lost an impressive 75kg!

Struggling with her weight for most of her life, Brooke felt like she needed to make a big life change.

“I tried everything – gyms, no carbs, no sugars, no this and that… I’m not an emotional eater, it’s just always been there.”

After giving birth to her second son, Jeremiah, now two, Brooke made the “tough” decision to have gastric sleeve surgery.

“After he was born, I stood on the scales and it said I weighed 150kg. I was shocked! I knew I needed something that was lifelong and I needed to change everything when it came to my lifestyle and food habits.”

Since having the operation in January 2016, the blonde beauty hasn’t looked back and is ready to chase her music dreams.

“I don’t have any inhibitions now and that’s where my music and my voice can shine through, I can actually be myself now. It’s pretty liberating,” she shares.

“I’m very lucky to have him on my side,” she says.
