Chrissie Swan reveals her dramatic fitness goal after 90kg weight loss

TV and radio presenter Chrissie Swan has continued to exceed her fitness goals after losing 90kg since the start of the Covid lockdowns.

And now, the mother of three has set herself a new goal: to walk 300km in a month for the Fred Hollows Foundation.

Chrissie, 48, announced on Monday that she will be “hitting the pavement” every day in August to raise money for the blindness charity.

‘I’m doing it again! It’s August and that means I’ll be walking 300km to give people with preventable blindness back their sight,” she wrote on Instagram.

‘It only takes $25 to restore someone’s sight. That is amazing to me! Will you get behind me? Last year we raised over $80,000 (that’s over 3,200 people who can watch again because of you!?) This year I’m aiming for $100,000!’

She concluded: ‘Whatever I can spare, there’s a link in my bio. I’ll keep you posted as it progresses. Let’s do it!’

She posted another photo to Instagram Stories of herself taking her steps.

I am going to walk 300 km this month. You can support me and donate to save someone’s sight at the link in my bio…’ she wrote.

In his next post, he revealed that he had already walked 9.24 km on Monday.

“Not a bad start to day 1 of my @fredhollows 300km goal,” he wrote. ‘Day 2 today! You can donate below…just $25 cures someone of preventable blindness!’

Chrissie entered the challenge this time last year, initially targeting 150km before extending her target to 300km.

According to an Instagram post from last year, he rode more than 190 miles and told his followers that a company had offered to match his donations for the next $15,000.

Chrissie has lost a significant amount of weight since the beginning of 2020.

The Masked Singer judge, who has lost 90kg since the start of the Covid lockdowns, previously attributed her slimming down to daily walks and giving up alcohol.

Chrissie has more recently decided not to talk more publicly about her weight loss.

“I think the reason I’m not talking about anything right now is because I’ve been doing it for the last 20 years,” he said. star magazine in July.

“I got into that kind of toxic environment and it didn’t make me feel good. And it didn’t help me, and it didn’t help anyone else. And it only propagates interest in a woman’s body, which is irrelevant,” she added.

Chrissie briefly touched on her weight loss in an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly earlier this year.

She said the ‘huge’ lifestyle changes she had made over the previous 12 months had improved her life in many ways.

‘I’m not going to talk about the size of my butt. I’m not going to tell you what I eat in a day. Because I have read those stories and they make me feel bad about myself,” she told the magazine.
