A mum who grew to a size 28 has shed a staggering 63kg - so she can fit her engagement ring on her finger.<br /><br />Nadine McGhie, 26, was overjoyed when partner Victor Faamoana, 25, asked her to marry him.<br /><br />But her delight quickly turned to dismay when she realised she couldn't fit the 14 karat gold ring on her finger.<br /><br />Nadine said: "I told him to size down if he ever buys a ring because I didn’t want to be this size forever, but I’d assumed I’d still be able to fit it.<br /><br />"I was upset that I couldn’t at least force it on. I felt sad that I couldn’t wear my representation of our engagement. <br /><br />"I tried to wear it a few times but it was uncomfortable and looked ridiculous only halfway down my finger."<br /><br />Nadine, from Queensland, Australia, got engaged in 2018 and vowed then to shed the pounds.<br /><br />She went through periods where she would try fad diets, appetite suppressants or hit the gym consistently for a few weeks - but she always reverted back to old habits.<br /><br />Nadine had struggled with her weight ever since she witnessed her baby sister Lani Lasharn McGhie, now 13, get her head stuck in a chair twelve years ago.<br /><br />And, although her sibling made a full recovery, the guilt led Nadine to fall into binge eating - culminating in her reaching 177kgs in June last year.<br /><br />It was then, wanting to be able to be a good mother to two-year-old daughter Hestia, that she decided to change for good.<br /><br />An overhaul in her diet meant Nadine managed to shed an incredible 63kg - and now weights a svelte 114kg.
