Obese Teen Girl Loses Half Of Her Body Weight In Less Than One Year

The urge to lose weight is a natural thought during most of our lives. This can range from just toning up those stubborn areas, to losing a few dress sizes. In this case, 17-year-old teen Josephine Desgrand from Queensland, Australia, lost just under half of her body weight - in only 11 months! 

Josephine used to weigh 270 lbs, and in just under a year, she managed to lose 132 lbs. This is extreme dedication, and she attributes it mainly to cutting out sugar entirely and lowering her carbohydrate intake significantly. She explains in detail how she managed to lose so much weight on her YouTube channel, NoLongerFatJosie.

The result of constant bullying affecting her mental state was the start of this teen's weight loss journey. Now she is so slender that her and her boyfriend, Morgan Pascoe, can fit into her old size 20 jeans at the same time. Her new sugar-free lifestyle brought her down to 134 lbs, and to a slender size 8.

"I remember finding skinny jeans that actually fit me. I felt fantastic until I saw a phone of me in them. I wanted so badly to lose weight".

"One day, I stopped thinking about it and just did it... I googled so many transformations".

"I was prepared, I wanted it so badly... I would look at my friends and be so envious of what they were wearing and what they could do".

"Sugar was the main thing. I did some research... and was shocked at the amount of sugar I used to consume; it seemed to be in everything".
