Girl Loses Nine Stone And Puts Everyone Else Sat On The Couch To Shame

She was 22 stone a year ago...

When her husband committed suicide at just 31-years-old, Justine McCabe found comfort in food.

At her heaviest, she weighed 22 stone (308lbs) but she decided to completely overhaul her life. A year later she's lost a crazy nine stone (124lbs) and I don't even want to look at a burger and chips any more.

The best thing about social media is that we can document literally everything about our lives, including weight loss. She uploaded this video to Instagram and it's awesome how much happier she looks as it goes on. Daaaaaaaamn. I need to step it up at the gym.

On Instagram, she wrote: "The person you see reflecting in the mirror will provide you with the biggest challenges in life.

"The human spirit is powerful. Do the work. Suffer the setbacks, push past the pain and excuses. True motivation is not an outside source. It's staring directly back at you.

"There is nothing you cannot be, do or have. Live with no regrets and don't ever give up. This is what drives me. My motivation."

Yeah, it's a bit cheesy - but she's allowed to be. She's lost fucking nine stone.
