Corporate sales executive Lim Yiping, 28, has pretty much been big her entire life -- that is until she managed to lose a whopping 60kg over a period of three years. Stomp sat down with the born-again fitness buff to find out more about her amazing weight-loss journey. As she stood at a towering 1.81 metres, our interviewer had to swap the conventional armchair for a gymball to match her eyeline.

The figures surpassed the three-digit mark when she moved on to Secondary school. Like most overweight individuals, Yiping's biggest adversary was food.
