By committing to regular exercise, healthy eating habits, and positive self-talk, anyone can make incredible changes in their life, both physically and mentally. So what are you waiting for? It's time to start your own journey towards a happier, healthier you.

This 16-year-old may still be considered 'scrawny' by their own admission, but by taking control of their health and fitness, they have already achieved so much. By sharing their story on Reddit, they're inspiring others to take similar steps towards improving their own lives. It's important to remember that everyone starts somewhere, and every step forward is a victory. So why not start today?
