Morbidly Obese Woman Loses Over 112 Pounds (Naturally) In Just Nine Months

#1

25-year-old Kate Writer has become a viral sensation after dropping from a size 20 to a size 10 (naturally, without any surgery) in just nine months.

Explaining to the Daily Mail that she had always been "on the chubby side", but started to gain weight when she met her boyfriend (now fiance) Nick, Kate said:

"Most days I'd have a calorie laden energy drink and a chocolate bar for brekkie and then I would snack on lollies and chips all day.

After work, I'd grab a Maccas on the way home then would settle in for a big home cooked meal when I got in.

Eventually my feet were swelling so much under the pressure of my weight that I was in so much pain, I couldn't even drive home. I knew enough was enough."

While, at first, her weight gain hadn't bothered her ("when I did finally notice the extra weight was piling on, I didn't worry about it. I'd just started going out and was drinking alcohol more regularly, having so much fun. My weight was the last thing on my mind"), Kate realised that her size was starting to affect her health, and so decided to make some drastic changes.

To begin with, she reduced her portion size, and lost 8kg (just over a stone) in just one week. She was astonished with the quick results:

"After that, I downloaded a calorie counting app and started tracking what I ate. Within a month, I'd fallen below 100 kilograms.

Realising how much I'd been neglecting my body, I became hooked and soon I started taking on gruelling exercise regime as well.

I wanted to lose weight naturally and I was determined to get a body that reflected the hard work I was putting in."

Kate stopped existing solely on junk food, and began eating fresh vegetables and lean meats instead. She quickly fell in love with cross-fit, and after just nine months had shrunk down to a size 10. Discussing her impressive weight loss, Kate said:

"People see my before and after photos and they automatically assume I've had surgery, but I haven't.

"I'm lucky because I'm young and my body has bounced back but I've put in a lot of hours in the gym. My weight has actually gone up to 75 kilograms but it's all the muscle I've gained.

I still have my stretchmarks but I'm not ashamed of them. I wear them with pride as they show just how far I've come. I want to help inspire other women to change their ways and believe me, if I can do it, anyone can."

She's now somewhat of an Instagram star, with 45 thousand followers.
