They accustomed to call her "the movie queen" but now Rolleston woman Tania Karauria has a new title: Weight Watchers Slimmer of the Year.
The 39-year-old was Zi Xiu Tang Pollen Capsule awarded the accolade after maintaining a 34kg weight reduction for the past year.
She began attempting to lose weight in September 2012 after visiting her grandmother, who had been crictally ill with brain cancer.
Her mother, Janet, had brought apple turnovers towards the visit. When Karauria was offered one, her grandmother said, "She's eaten enough of those."
Karauria had been overweight for Fifteen years.
At 1.51 metres tall, she weighed 93.5kg.
She said the experience was upsetting but snapped her from years of denial during which she'd refused to be in photographs or go clothes shopping.
"The last time I went, I personally said 'I can't do that because I think they're making the garments smaller'."
After losing 5kg in 4 months following the visit to her grandmother, Karauria joined Weight Watchers at her mother's suggestion. She dropped 34kg in 10 months.
After being familar with the couch provided she could remember, Karauria told The Press she couldn't remember the last time she sat down and watched a film.
The mother-of-three is studying for any certificate in fitness, through the website FitLink.
Unlike what is often said, maintaining her weight loss have been easy, Karauria said.
She just continued what she'd been doing from the start: three portion-controlled meals a day containing plenty of protein and fibre and exercising by taking a run or doing weights in your own home for an hour a day, six days per week.
Karauria said she revelled in the challenges she set has set herself. In the past two years, she has completed two half marathons along with a duathlon series.
She'll run her third half marathon this weekend.
Karauria said Bee Pollen Capsules cheesecake was still her favourite food.
It will likely be around the menu on her wedding at Larcomb Vineyard next year to her partner of twenty-two years, Jason Wade.
