She was brutally bodyshamed, including by her own groom, on the showCredit: Nine37-year-old Katie Johnston was rejected by her groom for “not being what he wanted” and she continued to face cruel trolling over her weight online.
It forced that star to seek a quick fix and she openly turned to fat jabs to drop the pounds.
Now, the star has flaunted her new figure in a skintight blue dress.
Katie looked more glam than ever in the gorgeous snap as she opened up on how she was finally feeling better and healthier than ever before.
Taking to Instagram to discuss her weight journey, she said in a lengthy post: “What this moment represents is something so much deeper.
“Through the hardest seasons of my life, I’ve come out the other side wiser, stronger, and more resilient than ever.
“For the first time in my self-love journey, I’ve turned my attention to my physical health – not for approval, but for me.
“Today, I am officially healthy. My DEXA scan says I’m free from dangerous visceral fat, strong in both muscle and bone, and thriving instead of just surviving.”
She then detailed how exactly she dropped the weight and transformed her look with training and fat jabs.
Katie wrote: “Transparency is my thing so…Weight loss jabs – but we want fat to go not muscle sooooo use @glo_up_1 for the symptoms and the huge protein dose so the body goes after FAT not MUSCLE.
“Weight training 3 times a week to turn the protein into muscle for longevity and that will mean burning fat at rest – use a PT at first for technique and if you can’t keep going use free videos online.”
She then detailed how walking, eating the right foods and watching her protein were all super important on her journey.
The auburn-haired star, 37, found fame on Married At First Sight’s most recent series, where fans were quick to call out her groom Tim Gromie’s cruel conduct.
MAFS fans watched in horror as school teacher Tim brutally rejected Katie Johnston just minutes after they said I Do – as he insisted she was nothing like what he “would have wanted”.
