'Married At First Sight's' Cathy Evans' Extreme Head-To-Toe Transformation

You wouldn't recognise her in old photos - by marie claire
  • 04 Feb 2020

Before appearing on Married At First Sight Australia, Cathy Evans underwent a head-to-toe transformation so extreme that you may barely recognise her in old photos. Her transformation spanned years and involved not just dramatic body reshaping in the gym but also breast augmentation surgery and facial injectables.

WATCH BELOW: Meet Cathy Evans from MAFS 2020

Although the blonde bombshell works as a logistics investigator, she’s also a spray tanner and beauty influencer on Instagram and YouTube where she's shared many of the details on her transformation.

While participating in bikini bodybuilding competitions in 2014, Cathy had an ultra-lean, muscular physique but after coming off the competition circuit, she experienced rebound weight gain.

I came 5th place!!!! Omg I can't even explain the way I am feeling right now! So emotional and so lost for words!! Thank you so much to all my friends and loved ones for all your support!!! I could not have done this without you! I must say thank you so much to my coach @sheenajayne_fitness who has pushed me through this entire thing, to my partner tom and my best friend Tessa who came down and watched me, my #teamsjf who did it all with me tonight! Also a thank you to my sponsors @nzmuscle @nutritionsystems_nz For hooking me up with some amazing products and given me great advice! I'm flourishing with happiness!! See you girls all at nationals next weekend!!! #waikatochamps #5thplace #nzifbb #ifbb #bikini #bikiniathlete #bodybuilding

After hitting her heaviest bodyweight, Cathy decided she needed to make some serious changes for her health and kicked off her new exercise regimen. She shared her 14-kilogram weight loss and the beginning of her journey on Instagram:

“Here is my hump day motivation… The picture on the left I was soooo unhappy I remember I started crying and thinking what the fuck had I become. I had gotten so big and yuck that I was being mistaken for playing rugby due to my size. I couldn't even walk without chaffing between my legs… I had SEVERE hormonal issues, so high and out of balance that I had acne all over my back and I hate tooting my own horn here but I have very good skin so the fact that I had acne all over my shoulders and back worried me. I also had my period every two weeks, I had become puffy and dense with solid fat that was toxic to the body. I had cellulite all over my lower back and arms and legs and worse cellulite I've ever seen were the craters on my arse. I know this sounds gross but it's true.”

“The picture on the right is me now,” she continued. “I feel healthier, physically, emotionally and mentally. Especially mentally. I eat for health and steady fat loss. I am no longer hormonally imbalanced, my skin has completely cleared up. I've tightened up and the craters on my ass are gone!”

Cathy also hinted that her transformation wasn’t yet complete, setting the scene for all her other changes to come:

“I feel like a new person and I always thought there was an end destination for my journey ... But there isn't. I will want constant improvement so I'm buckling up the long ride and working on that endurance cuz it's for life now. Health is for life.”

Here is my humpday motivation. What a massive hump in my life. Seriously, a bloody hurdle, a marathon, it took a lot of endurance because God knows I prefer the sprint and like it done fast (mind the sexual innuendo) The picture on the left I was soooo unhappy I remember I started crying and thinking what the fuck had I become. I had gotten so big and yuck that I was being mistaken for playing rugby due to my size 😑 I couldn't even walk without chaffing between my legs so why would I run and play rugby lol I had SEVERE hormonal issues, so high and out of balance that I had acne all over my back and i hate tooting my own horn here but I have very good skin so the fact that I had acne all over my shoulders and back worried me. I also had my period every two weeks, I had become puffy and dense with solid fat that was toxic to the body. I had cellulite all over my lower back and arms and legs and worse cellulite I've ever seen were the craters on my arse, I know this sounds gross but it's true. The picture on the right is me now. I feel healthier, physically, emotionally and mentally. Especially mentally. I can't say I feel immense guilt if I eat something naughty like how I used to. I eat for health and steady fat loss. I am no longer hormonally imbalanced, my skin has completely cleared up. No more weird periods, my skin is no longer puffy, I've tightened up and the craters on my ass are gone and I'm sure y'all have noticed if you follow my snapchat! 😂😂😂🤔🤔🤔 77kgs ➡️ 63kgs 33% BF ➡️ 18% BF I feel like a new person and I always thought there was an end destination for my journey ... But there isn't. I will want constant improvement so I'm buckling up the long ride and working on that endurance cuz it's for life now. Health is for life 👌🙌🍲🍝🍒🍑🍆💦lol🍦🍜🏊🏋🚴☀️ #humpday #fitfam #motivation #weightloss #fitness #fatloss #bikini #bodybuilding #wbff #transformation #training

In 2016, Cathy took her personal makeover project to new levels and disclosed to fans that she had undergone a breast augmentation in Phuket, revealing in an Instagram comment she'd gone for 325cc sized implants.

Here's me embracing my "mini croissants every day for breakfast while on vacation" belly 🙈😩😂🐷 Me in the past would have cried and kicked myself in the head for losing the lines in my tummy but I'm not even phased because I know exactly what I need to do to get back to where I was and looking even better! Consistency with diet and I'll be sweet! No dramas! #positivethinking #fitnessmotivation #training #diet #summer #fitfam

To top off her beauty evolution, Cathy has also received lip injections to add extra volume to her pout.
