MAFS star Selin Mengu reveals dramatic 10kg weight loss

She walked down the aisle in a sheer wedding dress – but this MAFS contestant hasn’t always been so body confident, she says.

Millions of Aussies recently watched her walk down the aisle in a sheer wedding dress – but MAFS newcomer Selin Mengu hasn’t always felt as confident in her own skin.

The mum-of-one welcomed son Roman in April 2019 and said she “wasn't really watching” her diet in the months that followed.

But after realising what she was eating was “going to my son”, presumably through breastfeeding, Selin made the decision to embark on a fitness challenge.

In eight weeks she lost 9.3 kgs along with 8.7 per cent body fat – but most importantly, she gained “body confidence” too.

“Started the 8 week challenge when Roman was 4 months old. After having him I was very much into sweets & wasn't really watching my diet,” she wrote in a post before appearing on the popular dating show.

“I thought about it & whatever I was eating was going to my son, so I decided to eat well & train for my baby.”

She completed the challenge at F45 in Minchinbury, NSW with her sister Eli, writing the best thing about reaching the end was how they both felt afterwards.

“We are so proud of each other & will continue to live a healthier lifestyle.”

Alongside the motivational post, the 32-year-old executive assistant shared a series of before and after snaps, showing the dramatic effect her health kick had on her body.

“Freaking amazing, girl!” one friend wrote.

“You’re amazing babe!! Very proud of you!” another said.

“Awesome effort & results hun! Keep it up,” someone else agreed.

After overhauling her lifestyle, Selin shared a series of snaps on her social media, sharing her pride at her success.

One showed the mum wearing a pair of jeans and a black one-shoulder top and was captioned: “Self love.”

In another Selin rocked a black bikini at the beach with her then 7-month-old son.

The confidence continued when she walked down the aisle n last night’s episode of Married At First Sight to get hitched to complete stranger, Anthony.
