Bron (29) is a paramedic from Tasmania.

She was always the chubby one at school but never lost the "puppy fat" as she grew older.

Low self-esteem led to overeating and comfort eating.

Bron's life changing moment came when she realised her excess weight was threatening her dream job as a paramedic.

That's when she made the decision to join Weight Watchers, losing 32kg and being crowned the 2009 Healthy Life Awards Slimmer of the Year.
