WHEN a selfie caused her to burst into tears, Stacy Blair decided she needed to change. The 31-year-old from Minneapolis, Minnesota, US, stepped on the scales in September 2017 and was upset to see she weighed 352.4lbs. Determined to lose the weight for the sake of her health, Stacy began her journey. She managed to lose an incredible 220lbs over the course of 18 months naturally. Due to a knee injury preventing her from working out, this weight loss was largely the result of a healthy diet. Following a bike accident in June 2019, Stacy began her fitness journey in January 2020 and has maintained a 200lbs weight loss since September 2017. As a healthy lifestyle coach she now helps others achieve their goals. Stacy told Truly: “I have a quote that I say to people now because it was my biggest turning point: 'find your why that is stronger than your most powerful excuse'.”

She looks like a completely different person! And such a strong and determined woman she is too 💕
Thanku for sharing your story.... You can do anything! I am a binge eater 2

She looks younger but most importantly, healthier and happier.
She does look happier and healthier, but younger? Nope. She looks like someones 40 yo mom now.
@@amberfernandes7223, Thank you!! She looks OLDER!! GEEZ
@@amberfernandes7223 everyone has a different opinion. to me, she looks younger - if i saw her at her highest weight, i would think she’s someone’s 40 yr old mom.
She looks at lot older I have a friend that had surgery to lose weight and she's younger than me and she looks way older
@Mila Antropova it’s just the loose skin on her face. When you lose a large amount of weight your face tends to sag a bit after since you lose fat everywhere, including there. It makes people look a bit older. She still looks amazing tho!
Her genetics for elasticity are insane!! for her to loose that much weight and have only that amount of loose skin is crazy.
True! I lost 110lbs and have so much loose skin. A lot more than she does 😂
Wow
@@amandacorreia8783 Wow I'm so happy for you!! :D
Autophagy is important when dropping more than 50lbs. She had some fasting in between that ate that skin up
As long as you loose weight when u r young .The elasticity is there.
Great job!!! I started 6 months ago at 335lb and has lost 82 pounds so far. If you believe you can do it. :) Kenny
Replace your burger bun with two big grilled mushrooms cheers from Aussie 🦘🦘🐨🐨🌈
Congrats! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿
How's your journey going?
🏆👍👏👏👏
How did you loss it
I weigh 363 right now this really inspires me if she can do it so can i
You can do it!
Absolutely you can, go for it!
I believe in you! I’m trying to lose 50 pounds, we can do this together!!
Yes you can! I'll cheer you on!❤
Yes you can! One day at a time. Focus on the WHYs, create a simple system of food planning and exercise, and get some SLEEP!! People forget about the restorative power of sleep and rest. Good luck on your health journey.
She looks amazing wow the loose skin isn’t even bad ur gorgeous u should be so very proud ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎
Right?! For someone to have lost as much weight as she has, and come out the other end looking so fit is brilliant. Good-o on her!!
You do look gorgeous! Don't worry about the loose skin, it will eventually shrink. Women get loose skin after having babies and it shrinks back. Congratulations, you are an inspiration to the rest of us!
@@evies1050 it doesnt always shrink back :/ only some women are lucky enough to go back to there before baby body and it only happens with some parts usually not all especially the stomach part.
I lost 137 lbs I have regained 25 lbs that I have to “reloose” I’m binge watching these inspirational wl stories to help me w motivation... thank u and btw u look amazing 💛
Keep pushing. You lost 137. Don’t stop. Proud of you.
@@shand2229 thank you very much.. I got back on track Monday and it looks like 3 1/2 down.. that u so much for taking the time to respond to me💜
Good for you for nipping it in the bud! Turn it around now and you can get it done!
How's your journey going?
I need to drop 30 pounds
I've given up soda and carbs and junk food.
You cook all your foods too?
Good luck! Be strong you can do it!!
You don't have to, just count your calories. Dont make it harder for yourself.
Thanks for the the advice and encouragement.
@@nickabbott319 good luck!
...but look at her kitty cat mug and her phone case! >
Seriously though-- she looks brilliant!!
Her kitty mug and phone case is so cute! I want it!
I was gonna say...i like her because she likes cats...lol.
I’m proud of her
So am I 👍🤩👍. She is a Star❣
I need this to happen to me
Just take it day to day honey. Youll get there. Just believe in yourself. You can do anything you put your mind to
It can!!! Just give it a shot!! I was obese and borderline morbidly obese 5 years, one of the best decisions I've ever made to change my lifestyle
It will happen to you too. Small steps matter :)
Indominable will
Then start working..nothing happends without hard work and a good attitude
I never seen loose skin like this. Completely deflated no fat. I hope someone can offer her pro bono skin removal surgery because she worked hard for it.
I think it’s because she lost the weight so dang fast
Check out keto chaos utube for loose skin on a ketogenic diet
Not everyone wants to get rid of the loose skin.
@@SpookySammy Exactly. Americans seem to be pretty obsessed with surgery.
@@chayagrunwald940 I follow Obese to Beast on here and he had some amounts of loose/excess skin from his amazing weight loss journey and has no intention of getting I removed. He uses compression clothing i think it's called to keep it under control especially with workouts.
Each time I watch one of these incredible weight loss videos, the person always says something along the lines of "I can now do so many things that I thought I'd never be able to do" and I just think that must be a really amazing feeling and I WANT THAT TOO.
Her tenacity and commitment is very admirable. She really is a winner.
I used to work with this woman, she’s so nice & sweet in person. So great to see
She's not just thin - but thin and healthy and, wow, have you seen her muscles? What an inspiration for everybody, no matter what bmi.
I also struggle with binge eating😔😔 I’ve been struggling to lose weight as well. Whenever I look at my self I feel like crying
Please don't be afraid to seek help. I wish you good health
@@heiroot thank you ❤️😔
Go lose weight your husband doesn’t want fat so in the house
Same here 😞
I had to change to a plant based whole food no oils or butters lifestyle...read the starch solution..not even keto worked for me..going plant based was best thing i ever did..i am steadily loosing weight for 1st time in 10 years of struggle...when i heard plant based doctors say oil is liquid fat because its not in a natural state my world changed...i never want another piece of fried chicken again...
She looks like a different person. What a beautiful transformation. Wishing her all the best!
Her skin looks so much better after those months of working out. It proves that fitness is as important as a good food regimen to me (both contribute to different aspects of our health) Now she's stronger than ever! 💕
I need to follow her motivation. That's amazing. I'm at the point where I hate pictures taken of me...I refuse to look at them or at myself in a mirror. Time to make a change!! This video really gives me hope 🤍👍👏
same!
Even me I reached a point where I hated taking pictures and attending parties
"If I set my mind to it, I will achieve it. There is stopping me" Well said!!
I need to remember this for my own weight loss journey.
At school when I was going to sit down at my seat this boy said to his friends “she’s going to take up the whole table” and I’m trying so hard to lose weight and it’s so hard sometimes I feel like giving up
You can do this. Be proud of yourself. You are worth getting healthy. No sugar & no bread, pasta, rice, chips.
@@rgee5176 you can be healthy and still eat those things! And Zaina Taznim that’s not ok what they said to you. You can do it.❤️
those kids are bad people and will go no where in life. we believe in you!
I can say from personal experience that life is more enjoyable when you are fit and physically active. So turn your workouts into fun and make them work for you.
You can't fail at something that you are doing for enjoyment.
Also note, that as your body changes people might treat you differently. This can cause mixed feelings, particularly if you don't like being the center of attention.
So it is important to make sure you are focusing on your emotional health as well and learn to disregard the unsolicited opinions of others.
You can do this. Don't listen to the haters
This is one of the most shocking for me!! A truly different woman. Amazing.
Yes I agree with you
She looks 10 years younger, her determination is amazing and inspiring!!
So proud of you. You’re an inspiration. I will be taking my selfie tomorrow. Thank you.
Me too! Let's do this!
Amazing / you guys have GOT THIS!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥
We should call it the selfie diet or something like that. Let's do it.
Good luck, y’all!!
Good for you, I will join you❣️
I’ve maintained a 185 pound weight loss for almost 19 years now. The first 100 pounds was gone in 5 months and no exercise because i was injured. I went to college on an athletic scholarship. I LOVE the gym. I weight train 6 days a week and do 4 cardio sessions a week. I had a tummy tuck and my arms and legs pretty much went back. It’s so worth it and I only regret that I was morbidly obese for as long as I was.
Hey how did u lose it? Do u think u could help a girl out
I binge eat everyday approximately 4,000 plus calories. I weigh 150 and want to get down to 100 by October. Is that doable in ur opinion?
Amazing
@@ayaabdeljabbar3277 No
When i see people losing large amounts of weight I’m reminded of when i lost weight when i was a kid (don’t worry it’s not sad). I was a very overweight child, the biggest in my class easily, but my mum wasn’t concerned at all as I was also a extremely active child, I was apart of various dance lessons, horse riding, swimming and gymnastics (very spoilt and lucky, thank you parents!) so as long as i was happy and healthy she never mentioned my weight and always told me i was beautiful (i know that sadly not the case for most overweight kids). However the preteen years were going hit eventually and they hit hard, i found myself as most overweight kids find themselves, crying and so unhappy with my weight and my mum said to me “if we’re going to lose this weight, then i need you to promise me that you’re going to listen to me” and i did and i lost the weight. Now i didn’t become a skinny supermodel but I am healthy and happy now at 22!
So happy for you . Thank your Mom, she didn’t let it become a self esteem issue. 💕
Oh my gosh I know Stacy! Congrats girl :)
Jenna
U look pretty
Very impressed! 👍🏻👊🏼 losing weight especially if you're morbidly obese is difficult but not impossible. This woman is a perfect example of determination & hard work. This is the Body positivity I support💪🏼👏
yeah, if that was my trainer I would look forward to working out too
😂😂😂
Lol I said the same thing
Congratulations 🎉 she looks amazing ❤️
Yes now she looks pretty
Look at those thighs!! You’re a goddess, so proud of you girl ❤️
Congratulations!!! You found something that you didn't like it and you changed it. Now you are healthier and look beautiful 🌸🌸🌸
being obese is a problem. and not being able to eat the foods you love is so. hard. i get it. i'm not chubby, but i'm not the skinniest person in the world. i am watching my diet, and trust me, i know how it feels.
Also, look at those guns?! She's ripped!!!
I eat my feelings, i did lose 100 lbs but need to lose more
Thats huge! Congrats Jody, I’m proud of you!
@@sweetpea2182 Ty
You go girl!!! You look amazing!!! So proud of you!
Such a determined young lady. Good for you. You look amazing. So happy for you ☺️. Congratulations 🎉
You've done amazingly well girl...I'm impressed, 220 pounds in 18 months, that's a massive achievement. Congrats and keep going.
I am a month into my 1000th weight loss journey. I pray this is my last one. It seems easy, but it is so difficult. Thank you for this video😊
Damn amazing what happens when you cut the garbage out of your diet.
That's not just a big achievement that is a Great Big,Big achievment,you look great to lose 2 hundred and some pounds that is AMAIZING girl you look HOT.
I was 328 lbs. I started changing my eating habits- portion control and a lot more veggies. No flavored drinks, only water. And started exercising. I gained 12 lbs. Talking to my doctor about surgery next week because I can’t do this anymore.
Hey guys I'm officially 6 months into my weight loss journey....I'm super proud of myself...I don't weight myself because I don't want to be obsessed with a number however I use my clothes as guide....I started wearing size 52 and now I'm size 46_44 .... I cut out carbs and started moving my body ...I love doing resistance training with my resistance band... I'll be back on my 1 year anniversary with an update 🙂🙂
Congratulations!
Keep going! :)
The last year I lost 25 kilos. I need to loose 30 more and lately I’ve felt stuck and depressed…. but I’ve been watching these episodes and I feel so motivated to start again and loose the other 30 kilos, if I was able to loose 25 I can loose the rest. It’s not easy but here I go, wish me luck. Thank you for all these vids.
I remember my weight turn around. I couldnt really get into the 38 pants anymore--the top was turned over, the zipper showed, and the tub dropped over. I had to get size 40 pants. It was just a black hole I refused to enter. Lost 50 lbs in 5 months and got ripped too. Went back and forth a bit since, but never went back to that. Walking consistently with hills and cut out sugar and simple carbs will keep the body in decent order.
Congrats! That’s an inspirational accomplishment.
Immediately went to follow her on Insta. You go girl!!
What's her insta
@@_riri94 It's instagram.com/losing_for_health?igshid=de6l8n094xrb
I wonder if that woman knows how lucky she is that she has so little loose skin. She looks fantastic.
What an inspiration! A great example of hard work pays off! Wow
Another inspiring story of determination to be healthy and feel more confident. I look forward to these.
Sorry, but low carb is not sustainable for long time, you need carbs as well asi other micro and macronutrients😄
My thoughts too.
Not true. Body does not need carb. It will use ketones.
@@kerrymegie2799 yes, but the body needs some carbs, I'm not saying, that you need ton of them, but it is not good to live without carbs. Ketons are good but the body can not be in this state for long time, then it will damage your body. 😃
@@kerrymegie2799 ketosis is only safe for overweight and obese people, short-term. It can harm your gallbladder, liver function, cause kidney stones, put you at risk at heart malfunction and is not safe for someone with diabetes either. I had ketones in a lab test once and they nearly admitted me to hospital. It's not safe long-term at all. Short-term for larger people = okay.
@@realisticequestrian8229 Ehm, are you sure you weren't dealing with ketoacidosis?
I have packed on 30 pounds since covid and stressing out. I need encouragement please help. Your video was very encouraging because it’s certainly not easy to lose weight. I did it before but it’s so hard that get motivated. I need that extra push. I want to get healthy and fit in cute clothes again.
How are you doing now? I hope you are reaching your goals 💜
@@lydiadewberry7328 I’m starting back on track today. I am so miserable. I will take it one day at a time and do my best to stay focused.
Hi Stacy! If you're reading this, I wanna say you're a heck of a woman, smart and beautiful! Your journey is a great example of perseverance and strength! You seem to prioritize what matters and that is everything! Just stay strong! 🙏💖😘
I’m quite sure I went to high school with her!! Way to go girl, you are such an inspiration ♥️
I am starting tomorrow I am fed up with my overeating and letting my emotions control my life. Thank you so much you are an inspirations.
proof that a change in your lifestyle is all it takes! ♡
Just so impressed. I have lost just over 100 lbs (and have about another 10 lbs to go) over almost 2 years so I haven't rushed it. It had to be a sustainable change for me, I couldn't face going back to how I was so after cutting out sugar and carbs, I just had to learn portion control - my basic diet was sound, just too plentiful. I did it with no exercise so am also embarking on the next phase of my healthy life to introduce regular exercise. It is such and exciting time. Congratulations to you - your story is an inspiration for me. Thank you!
You’re a freakin’ queen! Good for you! You look amazing!
Wow she looks amazing!! Love this channel and love watching these break throughs and epic transformations!! 🙌👍💕
Thank you for sharing. I’ve struggled my whole life. I’ve lost 97lbs via WLS, and 6yrs out I’ve gained back 50lbs. You are a complete inspiration to me! Thank you and congratulations! You are AMAZING!
I lost weight from 68 kg to 46 kg (from overweight to underweight, from size 12 to size 2) in just 5 months, that also without doing exercise. Simply maintain my diet.
I wanted to loose weight just because everyone scold me that i look fat. Of course I was offended at first, than I said they were right, I need to loose my weight. Btw my height 160 cm.
I don't do diet anymore now, I just maintain my weight between 46-47 kg.
HOW
Needed this. I was 470 dropped to 350 but with depression I'm.back at 365 😭
Don't give up
I'm currently on a journey. My start weight was 322 lbs. So far I have lost 36.2 lbs in 3 months. I'm now 285.8 lbs. I'm wat hing this for motivation. What a goddess.😍 also I'm really hoping I have minimal lose skin. Thats my only worry. I hate to sound vain but I have major body anxiety.
I would love to know how people truly cut out sugar. It’s proven that sugar is a human addiction for most of us and is extremely hard to completely cut out. It seems to be in everything, same with some level of carbs. So what’s the secret? How does one truly cut out sugar without having the crazy withdrawals and cravings?
I use Stevia. It does not raise blood sugar levels..and is completely natural
@@jaydeecee1643 that’s a good idea, have you ever used monkfruit sweetener?
What do you do when you crave something sweet though... like candy or fruit!
The more sugar you eat the more you crave it.. the cravings will go away eventually, if you stop eating it.
Hi my name is Bernadette I am waiting 260 Pounds I'm 59 years old and I think I look disgusting I'm trying my hardest to lose the weight I just don't know how to workout workout I don't know what to start can you help please send me a message thank you I saw your thing on UA-cam UA-cam I'm God if you can do it I know I can but I'm a lot older than you are and I do have 3 children But that's no excuse I let myself go and I don't like the way I look I look ugly Thanks for listening
Wow what a transformation! Bravo🎊🥳
I feel as I have no hope for weight loss.
Me too. All these people in videos say "one day I decided to change" or "if I can do it, anyone can" and then they just go and lose a hundred pounds. I've been trying for all of my adult life and just gain every year. I think I know enough about macros and cico and exercise. But still nothing changes. I stopped eating chips, first thing I eat is an apple every day, then I make my big jug of water for the day, I workout several times a week since April and I'm still the same as if I'd done nothing at all. Constant failures and zero progress really makes it hard to keep trying.
Truly the only thing that has allowed me to lose weight is Keto. Hard for a few days/weeks as you kick the sugar. But after that is easy. And you aren’t always thinking about food. Check out Dr. Berg here in you tube.
Whoever reading this comment, i pray you become successful in life🌟💰🌟
Lost my job during this pandemic and decided to start a nice channel to keep myself strong, hope it does well❤️c
Hope you succeed as well. My heart is with you. I just subscribed ; )
I can't understand why government does not sponsor and pay for this skin removal surgery, provided you maintain the weight loss for 2 years it should be free. This lady is going to save the government a fortune in future health bills 🤔

Congratulations Stacy...I hope you will be an inspiration to others who are battling too.
Thank you for sharing.
This is amazing. People like me need these stories so thank you.
She looks better with the weight off. Good for her, to get that weight off. Alot of Humans are lazy and don't want to put in the work. To achieve a good physique, one must be consistent and work hard. Summon the willpower to carry you forward.

No weight loss surgery, either.👌🏼. Well done.

Such an Amazing and determined woman 😊So proud of you: Your will power is strong
The key is a modified Keto diet with exercise, and vitamins.
Glad to see you lost the weight, but eating a bunch of corpses will do your insides dirty.
You look amazing! Keep up the good work! One day you will be able to have your surgery, just keep aiming for that goal!
Con esfuerzo todo se puede en esta vida
She weighs 151 pounds and looks great! Everyone agrees she looks great. So I wonder why, when I weighed 150 pounds in high school, people looked at me as though I was a beached whale? This bullying has impounded my whole life. I am hoping that my weight loss journey will be as successful as hers has been. Great job!!!
Hey those arms girl!!! Wow...I'm proud of you also. Your glowing!!!! I had a bug weight loss also but not like you. I still have loose skin tho. But my arms don't look like yours. I have multiple sclerosis so working out is more painful but I'm maintaining a 50 lb weight loss and eating healthy for life!!
You look amazing. I would love to have you as a coach, you have a beautiful attitude! Congratulations!
Such a beautiful woman😍😍
Congratz Stacy, happy you are healthy and feel good about yourself and your journey. You deserve to be proud of what you accomplished!
How did u get rid of the belly that's the only thing I can't get rid of
That is so Amazing!! I wish I had the motivation to do what you did. I am always so mentally exhausted after work that I just wanna come home, cook, eat, watch a movie (sometimes), and go to bed. If I am not doing that I am running errands taking my son to work etc.
Better if any one hv extra weight thy eat only vagitable and drink green tea
