From 315lbs to 175lbs

She lost an impressive 140lbs in a year, and her impressive before and after photos were what she shared with Reddit's r/loseit community.

The Bowie Costume that sparked it all

In her post, u/mygreenbike85 shared two photos of herself side-by-side on two different Halloweens. In the first photo, she was dressed as a pirate, while in the second, she was dressed as David Bowie.

That's when she decided that it was time to make a change and begin her weight loss journey.

The Power of Inspiration
