Tiffiny Hall’s ‘stunning’ holiday photo after losing 40kg

The TV star has been applauded by fans after she marked a milestone birthday with a sun-soaked holiday snap taken in Bali.

Tiffiny Hall has marked a milestone birthday with a “stunning” bikini photo – just months after revealing she struggled with self-confidence.

The former Biggest Loser trainer gave birth to her second child, daughter Vada, with husband Ed Kavalee in May 2022.

But despite being overjoyed at giving their son Arnold, 5, a younger sibling, the pregnancy took a physical toll on Hall.

In the two years since welcoming her daughter, Hall has lost 40kgs, but most importantly – regained her confidence.

To celebrate her 40th birthday, the TV star jetted to Bali for a winter getaway, sharing a bikini snap taken on a sun-soaked beach with her 236,000 followers.

“This is 40 xoxo,” she captioned the post.

In the photo, Hall can be seen wearing a blue triangle bikini, with her blonde hair tied back. She finished her beach-look with a pair of dark sunnies.

Fans were quick to commend Hall, labelling the snap “gorgeous” and “stunning”.

“Gorgeous Mumma. Such an inspiration and role model,” one said.

“Happy 40th Birthday Tiff. I hope your day is as incredible as you are!” another shared.

As one declared: “40 looks great on you.”

It comes after Hall opened up about her post-partum body in a candid interview with news.com.au in January.

“I put on a lot of weight with Vada, I couldn’t believe it,” the founder of online health and fitness program TXO Life said.

“It wasn’t due to not exercising or eating badly. But hormones and fluid culminated to 40 kilograms of weight gain.

“I had a big tummy that stuck out. And it wasn’t just a mum tum, I looked pregnant, even eight months after having Vada.”

On several occasions, people even approached Hall in the supermarket, congratulating her on being pregnant again, which left her feeling “mortified”, she said.

The mum-of-two said the change to her physical abilities was so dramatic, it left her worried for her fitness career.

“I honestly thought my fitness career was over. Like I honestly thought, ‘This is it for me. I’m so weak, I can’t do anything’,” the former Gladiator said.

“I just thought it was over.”

As a result, Hall’s confidence plummeted, affecting everything from her physical activity to intimacy with her husband.

While she tried to exercise, the Melbourne native eventually sought help from a women’s health physiotherapist who helped her slowly rehabilitate her core and pelvic floor.

Eventually she lost the weight, but Hall said it was never about the numbers on the scale, adding it was “about how I felt as a woman”.

It was this notion that inspired the fitness expert to popularise the term “bouncing forward” following the birth of her first child in 2017.

The idea is to shift away from the mentality that new mothers need to “bounce back” to their weight before their pregnancy.

It’s been such a hit among women and new mothers, Hall did a TedxTalk on the topic in 2020, and now has a podcast with Nova called Bounce Forward.

“Bouncing forward mean more now because back then it was about a post-partum journey – it’s about having a mindset of kindness to yourself and self acceptance and compassion in those moments,” she said.

“’Bouncing back’ is still around and it drives me insane.

“I think that there needs to be more post-partum imagery out there embracing having the mum tum, embracing having loose skin and loving the loose skin.”

It doesn’t just work for mums either, with Hall explaining she has had people contact her to say they were “bouncing forward” following a divorce or after the loss of a job.

“It really is about the journey, not the destination,” she concluded.

Since then, she’s gone on to share a string of bikini photos, including
