"Chicken Soup For The Soul" - The New Paper New Face Contestant Who Lost 45kg!

Have you ever have to struggle with weight issues or find that you have limited motivation to lose weight? If your answer is "YES", I believe you are like many people out there (myself included!) who find it really challenging to shed some extra pounds. Blame it on the affordable and delicious food we can find almost everywhere in Singapore! So how about some "Chicken Soup For The Soul" story to motivate yourself to lose weight?

Recently, I read about the story of Kylie Yuen, the first runner-up and winner of Ms Levi's for The New Paper New Face Competition 2012. Despite having done so well in the contest, I would assume that Kylie is a very "average" girl in every aspects until she decided to lose 45kg! According to what I read, Kylie used to weigh 100kg and it took her 2 years of determination and perseverance to reach her current weight of 55kg. Impressive yah?

There is even a before and after picture:

According to a report on The New Paper official website, Kylie's typical meal consists of healthier options such as stir-fried vegetables, pork rib soup / veggie soup and steamed fish. Although she does indulge in sashimi buffets once in a while, she adheres to a strict diet which is high in fibre and protein in general. Of course, it does really help that Kylie enjoys her food and does exercises like jogging and taking the stairs.

I thought Kylie is a true inspiration to many girls and women out there who are trying really hard to lose extra weight and was so impressed by her achievement that I decided to approach her to model for my company's new collection. Really happy that she agreed to do so! I hope that her looks in Lace And Button's apparels will serve as a motivation for all women to achieve a similar feat. 

To end off, here are some pictures of Kylie for Lace And Button's photoshoot. Enjoy!
