A MODEL has revealed her dramatic weight loss transformation after her daughter was cruelly bullied at school for having a “fat mum”.
Robyn Quinn, 35, has dropped half her body weight after years of battling with her size.
The mum-of-three, who has 24,400 followers across social media via her page @robynquinn2025, spent years doing yo-yo diets and feeling self conscious about her size.
Her 16 stone weight affected her mental health so badly that she stopped leaving the house altogether.
Robyn, who is from Kent, shared: “I was always quite a chunky child and then once I had my own children quite young, I just never shifted the weight and suffered so badly with depression.”
Becoming a mum at a young age made it harder for Robyn to lose weight.
Robyn said: “I’d always battled with weight, always been up and down, dieted, done every diet you can think of.”
She added: “I thought, I can’t keep on with this battle with my mental health. I didn’t know how much more strength I had to fight the mental side of it.”
The turning point came when her daughter heard comments about her mum at school.
Robyn told Option One, Babestations’ weekly podcast: “One of my children fell over at the park and broke their arm and I had to go and get them.
“When she went back to school, the children were bullying her, not because of anything else but because of her fat mum.
“So from that point I decided that was it.”
The devastating comments about her appearance left her determined to take action, and in 2016 she opted for a gastric sleeve procedure.
The model then decided to undergo weight-loss surgery, paying for the procedure herself.
She added: “I was like ‘sod it, I’m going to get a gastric sleeve’.
“I went, paid for it myself, and lost half my body weight.”
Robyn hasn’t looked back and feels more confident than ever.
She has since also had breast surgery.
She now refers to herself as a “MILF” online, loves wearing tight clothing, and loves showing her toned body off as she models and films adult content.
Best Christmas gifts for mums
Struggling to find the perfect present for your mum?
The Fabulous team have shared the gifts from their wish lists they’d love to receive from their kids this Christmas.
Indulge in a little pamper
Massage, Sarah Bull, Senior Reporter
“I’m finding it increasingly difficult to think of things I want as Christmas rolls around every year. So I’ve decided to step away from the slippers and skincare and go down a different route. This year, I’m hoping to find a massage voucher under the tree. Not only does going for a massage give me a chance to enjoy some me-time – a rare treat with two kids and a full-time job – but it also helps support local businesses, many of whom are struggling as people cut back on such ‘luxury’ appointments.”
Luxury face cream, Chloe Morgan, Senior Reporter
“You can never go wrong with Elemis! A luxurious night face cream like the Pro-Collagen Night Cream, £86, is on my wish list this year to help me feel refreshed at the end of a busy day (and hopefully look a little less exhausted by the time I wake up!)”
Face mask, Natalie Clarke, Fab Daily
“My teenage daughter introduced me to Korean skincare and I’m hooked – the gorgeous textures and scents are a cut above rival products in the same price range. For Christmas, I’d love to find Beauty of Joseon Ground Rice and Honey Glow Mask in my stocking, to soothe my soul and pep up my weary winter skin. A divine treat for just £12.39 from Superdrug.”
Hobby-inspired
Running gloves, Claire Dunwell, Commissioning Editor
“I’m all about practical gifts at Christmas. Pink is my favourite colour, and I’ve recently graduated from Couch To 5k, so a pair of Proviz touchscreen running gloves, £19.99, tick all the boxes. Not only will they protect my hands from the frost this winter, but I’ll still be able to scroll through my Spotify playlist while I pound the pavements.”
Wardrobe upgrade
Cashmere socks – Lydia Major, Fabulous Digital Editor
“I’ve read too many articles telling me to ‘bin my trainer socks’ and that they make Gen Zers snigger behind my ‘frumpy mum’ back, so a couple of pairs WITH ankles would be perfect. M&S has some Pure Cashmere socks in six colours for £30, but the best bit…they’re machine washable, so I can’t shrink them…hopefully!”
Handbag – Sarah Barns, Associate Editor
“Nothing helps you feel more put together than a nice handbag. And, this M&S slouchy cross-body bag ticks all the right boxes. An on-trend print, a purse-friendly price and a detachable strap so you can use it both day and night. Win!”
Personalised jewellery
Rebecca Miller, Associate Editor
“I may not be a mum, but I am a brilliant gift-giver. And what’s more thoughtful for that incredible woman in your life than a personalised piece of jewellery? The skilled team at Merci Maman engrave gorgeous necklaces and bracelets, with names, initials or a special date.”
