A MOTHER of three is learning to love her excess skin after losing 150lbs in two years. Karla, from Chaska, Minnesota, weighed 352lbs at her heaviest. Since January 2019, Karla has lost 150lbs but has been left with excess skin on her stomach. At times, Karla has felt insecure from her loose skin but hopes by sharing her story she will empower others.

“Wherever you are right now, it doesn’t have to be your final spot” . 😎
This is just so amazing and positive line....
Hey
THIS
Read this as she said it 🥰
Thank you
Glad she feels good she lost all that weight but even more glad she was able to stay married and worked out those challenges that were dragging her down, cool for her 🤙🏻
Me too ! So glad they both hung in there and are now reaping the rewards ❤
She was able to stay married because she started taking care of herself and loving herself which is awesome!!

This has given me so much hope. I wish I could personally thank this woman
So do I.
💘
Her Instagram is finding_kaat
It’s so special to me that you connected to my story! 🥰🥰
Ok, but her eye makeup is awesome.
Also, what a cool person. She's right, life can be damn hard.
"it's hard existing in this world when your bigger" that hits me hard bcz I relate so much to this quote
Starting tomorrow and I have always used “loose skin” as a reason I couldn’t because I’m so fearful of it. But it’ll be okay! I’m glad I watched this.
You got this!!
💘
The loose skin is what caused me to regain the 200 lbs I lost. I couldn’t handle looking at it. But I decided the fat I was hauling around was much worse, so I lost it again. It’s still a struggle but I’m hoping at some point to be able to afford the skin removal. It’s more about your health though! We aren’t supposed to be superficial. Lol
Good luck, girl!
I hear you, I don't even feel worried about the loose skin on the belly, its the boobs for me as I would never want implants etc.
Im 318 was 350 3months ago. Want to be 300 by my birthday..about 2 months..I don’t know if I can do it but gonna try.. the loose skin terrifies me tho..my goal is 200 because of the loose skin
Thank you for this, I am in the process of losing weight and was super scared because I'm noticing loose skin as well. I just....thank you for being encouraging and living your best life. It doesn't scare me as badly now.
That's awesome, I wish u luck on ur journey! You are gonna do great
I’m in that process too and fear of excess skin has held me back before but I’m not letting it hold me back from weight loss anymore, I’ve lost 25 kilos so far and have 10-15 left to go and while that might not seem a lot in some peoples eyes I’ve refused to try to lose weight in the past due to the fear of loose skin so I’m proud I’m doing what’s right for my health now
I have to lose a total of 125lbs (starting 265, goal 140), and yes, I got a LITTLE bit of loose skin after losing 83lbs so far at 182...but I would MUCH rather have a little lose skin than go back to being huge and unhealthy!
I wish all of you guys so much willpower and determination, I know you got this, and nothing's gonna stop you from being the people you are meant to be! 🥰 Remember that everything that's worth having is difficult to achieve and the journey is meant to be hard, but you'll get there.
@@ea7535 Thanks so much!!!
This chick has such a rad personality 🙌🏼
"Life is hard" - Biggest mood ever.
Sad but true
You are beautiful! The loose skin just remind you where you came from and how far you've come. I'm on my journey and have lost 60 pounds.
This is pretty much exactly my story, except I waited less time, and I wasn't as big. I made a similar, huge change - no carbs, so sugar - and I went from 210 to 109. I'm pretty short and it was a huge change. Today I am 120 and I am happy with that. It is a healthy weight for me.
Damn, she's pretty
Omgg I was thinking the same
she is a pile of skin
@@mudgas6108 so what? She's still gorgeous
@@smolrat2583 my point still stands
@@mudgas6108 maybe so but that doesn't keep her from being beautiful.
I love, love, love, her hair color and style. Looks so good on her. She is glowing. 🌸
I wieght almost 300 I was small my whole life till I hit 30 yrs and I just shot up it's to the point that my body hurts I'm not healthy and it feels terrible..thanks for this it does show a light at the end of the tunnel
You can do anything you want!!
Hugging you sweetheart. Better days are ahead. You can do it
I AM SOOO PROUD OF YOU SIS !!!!
My biggest hope is that your marriage is better/ wonderful !!!!!
A lot of people have a hard time admitting their issues are affecting their relationship with others. I admire her realness, her discipline, and her tenacity.
Confidence can make a not so attractive person look attractive....but when your also sweet, a good mom, a good person to want to help others...the confidence is a extra...your a Beautiful person inside and out...God Bless.
🥰🥰🥰
Why are ppl so nervous about going to a gym? Every gym I've gone to has had plenty of friendly and welcoming people. I've never been "gawked" at or made to feel inferior when working out. Everyone's just trying to better themselves.
I've been gawked at plenty at gyms, as have most other women I know. Some men have zero awareness or care for how their creepy behaviour affects others.
If someone at the gym is gonna hate on you for being overweight or a beginner, that same person will hate on you for having a perfect physique and form. Screw those people, do it anyway!
Anyone who is really serious about making a difference in their lives, making big moves to lose weight deserve to feel confident, why not reach out to some doctors regarding skin removal? It is a may be a expensive procedure but I am sure there are some doctors out there who can help, ask and ye shall receive..worth a shot!
It’s also very dangerous , you can have a lot of issues
I wish I had money to donate for skin removal surgery for her ❤
I think it's costs that hold a lot of people back. Even if you take out a loan etc that could really affect you if you are trying to improve your credit for a mortgage, needing extra money if you have kids etc. Sadly a lot of it comes down to money.
You look great! I also lost 150lbs and have the same problem with the skin. I'm just so damn proud of myself and you should be proud OF YOURSELF! We did it.
My name is Karla too 😊 I’ve started my journey this year and you fill me with the confidence I can do this.
You absolutely can!!
@@karlajohnson7763 i am the old Karla💔 I’m so intrigued by ur video I hope to one day be where you are now🤞🏼💕
I am so proud of Karla for putting herself out there to reach others. As a woman who has been heavy & lost weight multiple times, I can completely relate. At my heaviest, I was 245 & I'm 5'8". This past year, due to depression & a failing marriage, I lost down to 20lbs. Lower than I had ever been at 145lbs. I now fluctuate between 150 & 160 which I am happy with but I have stretch marks & loose skin on my tummy that I am working towards loving & accepting. This video & Karla's story really resonated with me. I wish all people would learn to love themselves & accept everyone else.
💌 Much Love from Oklahoma 💌
The skin tells a story.
You are beautiful and you’re an inspiration
Bro... thats my aunt 😂 good work tia
Yesssss miss you 💋💋💋
Body dysmorphia happens to a lot of people. You just need supportive people around you. I was a midget in my early years and I still cannot get totally past it. You can have dysmorphia on anything! Nobody is spared of it.
For the first time in Many year's I feel like there's hope for me...I wish she had a Menu or Daily account of what she eats.👍👍😊😊
Follow me on insta @finding_kaat
Que bonita!” You’re very pretty and with no doubt, you reflect inward beauty too! “ I’m also on a weight loss journey and it’s not easy, but people like you give me inspiration and I’m gonna do this!! Thank you for sharing your journey!
I'm so amazed that she did this naturally wow
Congratulations for this beautiful, strong mother and wife!!!
You dit it
I'm just gonna say that this chick is GORGEOUS!!! I mean I WISH I had the attitude towards life that she has. She has a glow about her and I don't know her but I'm super proud and jealous 🥰
Carla, you're beautiful.. you've inspired this chubby grandma to reach my goal. THANKS CUTIE💖‼️👵
Loved watching your story and how you work hard. I'm in the same situation. Once weighed my heaviest 285 I'm close to 200 pounds. My goal is to be 160 or 165 see how I am then and go from there. I started a year ago it'll be 2 this summer. Your an inspiration. It's definitely not easy loosing weight changing your eating but it really really helps makes a huge difference. I feel so much better than I have in a long time & can't wait to see where this takes me 😊😊😊😊
I am too lazy that I can't even loose 10 kg (which is my goal) but you did so fantastic. You are so powerful dear 🙏
That’s soooo unfair that skin won’t go away, she’s such an inspiration.
You could hear a beautiful soul in her voice
😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 thank you
Dude, you rock...period. You’re incredible
🤘🏽🤘🏽🖤 thanks love
I don't know you and you don't know me. But I am sooo proud of you. You go girl!
Thank you!!!
I kind of want to be on here after I lose 250 lbs. I'm getting surgery after failing to lose it on my own and with a doctor. I just hope no one is like ignorant about surgery. If you can fix your obesity by just changing your diet, counting calories, and exercising, good on you. Took me 3 years of losing 20 and then gaining 20 on numerous diets and going to 3 different gyms. I saw 3 different trainers. I went everyday to work out. And then it was every night. Then my doctor insulted me and my family and I quit seeing him. I gave up then. I didn't care. Then I got interested in the Duodenal Switch and I saw how it was better than anything. There are risks and yes people have complications, but if you adhere to your diet, vitamins, and exercise if needed, you can do pretty good. What this surgery does is the restrictive part is not really the stomach, but more the common channel of intestine where food is digested. Depending on which type of Duodenal Switch you receive, you can have a common channel about 75 to 300 cm as opposed to like 29 feet of intestine. You will not be able to absorb things like normal and in turn you will lose 100 percent of your excess body weight and it stays off. I am excited for this surgery. I am excited to lose weight. Please document the whole thing for me so I don't have to lol.
@Chris D. Smith
Have you had your surgery yet...?!
@@HopelessSinner yes. I couldn't get the surgery I wanted because my liver was too big so I got a sleeve gastrectomy instead.
You may have had high cortisol due to stress... Hormones play a big role in weightloss
I lost 150, from 300 to 150. I had the stomach skin redone by plastic surgery. TOTALLY WORTH IT! Not limited to leggings, can buy clothes wherever for the first time in my life!
In general, around $10-20 thousand. Lots of variables, such as your age, health, any chronic conditions. If you smoke tobacco, good idea to quit first. GOOD LUCK! Insurance might cover it at least in part if you meet certain criteria.
Love it! Love the transformation🥰
OMG that's my name too. Currently 275 lbs and just gave up carbs and sugar on March 1st/21 .You are so inspiring!! I'm on my path now. I got this 😊
Keto is amazing!! ♡
Her attitude is so inspiring and she is adorable!! Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you!!!
Thank you for the video an amazing journey! She’s so beautiful 😍 also thank u @truly for mentioning her Instagram 💯
Thank you so much for watching!!
She looks amazing. Loving the hair. 🌹🌹
This woman is just so effortlessly cool 🤩 And the eye makeup omg! She's so inspiring.
Is there a go fund me page to fund skin removal surgery for her so she comfortable
Omg I never thought of that- this experience has been so crazy
@@karlajohnson7763 you look great . You should be so proud of yourself. I definitely think you should get skin removal surgery though , only because you DESERVE it. You’ve put the hard work in , you accomplished so much, now you deserve the surgery for the ‘finishing touch’ 😊 I would donate to a go fund me for that!!
@@karlajohnson7763 I just had excess skin removed from my stomach a couple of months ago and it was more than worth it. please consider creating a gofundme i wouldn't hesitate to donate
I'd donate immediatly. I think everybody who's been through such things should have a free surgery after. They really deserve that. And she's wonderful, I mean, dear, you lost 150 lbs on your own! It's incredible!
You weighed as much as I do now and lost 10 stones in weight so it's definitely doable well done Sweetheart. I hope you can get the excess skin removed so you'll lose even more weight. XXXX.
wow
Carla: You are brave and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your weight loss story - and your loose skin - with the world.
Thank you so much
I always admire the courage/ fortitude of people like her to be so open, transparent and vulnerable. You can see the self-love she has now. That is beautiful. =)
You are so great! You’re so genuine and sweet, and you’re style is so cool!
Excellent !!Dear friends..never ever glorify obesity.. Don't say any excuses like iam having hypothyroid, PCOS, Post partum etc.. There is a way to looose weight in all cases..Start working..and never give up..lead a healthy life
But you onow dr. LOngeshwaran, the saddest 0art is people are suffering and dr. S dont want to listen. Their bodies are aching due to hormonal imabalances and dr.s are just shoving women woth birth control pills. I mean really!! If nothing out of compassion just listen to patients what they are going through if dr.s dont have anything left to offer. 😐😐
@@Rrrrcc4666 I agree with you 100% about Dr’s not listening, and understanding. They give you a pill, take your money and make you go away. Problem solved. Right? I have hypothyroid, PCOS, diabetes, high blood pressure and asthma. I’m suffering from hormonal imbalance. I have severe urticaria (hives) and angioedema. I’m in my 50’s. Already finished menopause and never had any children. The only way the urticarias and angioedema can be controlled is with steroids and steroids make you gain weight and your sugar levels to go dangerously high. I’m losing weight because I’m so scared to eat. I went to an internal medicine, an allergist, gynecologist, dermatologist, and now I’m looking for endocrinologist to see how they can help. Nobody is listening or understanding. I can’t be the only woman in the world going through this. 😢
@@gypsydeoriginal366 i just had an argument with my dr. today. I am going through unusual bleeding and i told my dr. about the issue and asked him to refer me to gynecologist. He was reluctant to which i dont understand why!! He said do ultrasound and will see. Now my US was "normal" to which they did not tell me uternine thickness or anything and he wanted me to take birth control pill to solve this problem. I am like excuse me? Why? Dont you guys have anything better. Like why you want to put a young woman on a birth control pill there has to be a better way, this is what they study in med. School to forcibly shove pill to their patients. I am chosing to se Naturopathic Dr. To help me with thryoid issues. OMG they have no interest to treat their patients. No one wants to study someone body's chemistry and fix it. They further cause problem with high cortisol and then they will shove another pill called Metformin.
@@gypsydeoriginal366 try to find a good Naturopathic Dr. around you. And Try Natural Thyroid Hormone over synthetic like synthyroid or levothyroxine. I know dr.s would fight you and wont put you on Natural one but you will have fight for yoursel or change your dr. Good Luck .🙏🙏
What a load of ableist nonsense. No one is "glorifying" obesity. I hope you're not actually a medical doctor.
You look Amazing god bless You keep up the good work..💙💙
She looks good just stay confident 🙏🏾❤️
I love stories like this. It really brings joy to me seeing how happy everyone is. ❤
I'm 6'1, and 10 years ago I was at my heaviest at 300LBS. I lost half of the weight and for some odd reason I was very lucky and I have no loose skin at all. I have no idea why, but my skin just went back to itself? Ofcourse I have allot of stretch marks but i'm lucky it's one of the only things I have after losing half my body weight.
Did you fast? Autophagy also helps with loose skin.
You must be quite young
She's cute. Gotta crush on her. I'm morbidly obese and really wanna get skinny too. But I can't cook or prepare my own food, live in a food desert, and can't really exercise much so don't know what to do.
I wasn't always fat, it only happened once I was made disabled and homebound. I want to be "me" again.
Shout out to everyone here who's on their weight loss journey! You're amazing, strong and you can do it! 💚💚💚
Well done to you for making the change and doing it. That is the hardest part. The skin can be dealt with when you feel ready or able to or you may learn to love it :)
You are such an inspiration!
I think she's cute and humble...
Your amazing and beautiful ! many Blessings to you and your Journey 🙏🏼♥️
Good on you! You look amazing!
Wow I weighed 352 and now I'm at 197 lbs
You look amazing you have done a wonderful job it doesn't matter what anyone says weight is hard to lose you rather the excess skin and live a healthy life thank you for the inspirational video
Oh my goodness you are so,so sweet. You deserve to be proud and happy about what you have done and what you plan on doing for the rest of your life. God bless you and your family💖
I started my no carb and no sugar diet February 12th and this video is such an inspiration! Thank you! 🙏🏽 🤩
Best of luck! Choose yourself first and watch how much your body thanks you without sugar!
You are amazing exhale fear inhale courage.

congratulations! you deserve it! love from OZ :)
Awesome story
So proud of you, you look beautiful ❤️
You did amazing! Well done!
People always say you need carbs and sugar. Diabetics need to watch their intake. So do pcos and binge eating sufferers. I gain weight so fast with carbs and sugar. I need to keep down on them.
I don't understand like when people say they just woke up one day and said enough is enough and drop a bunch of weight, I say that everyday or every week and then I go back to being unhealthy... Idk more self discipline? Need more motivation? Education? Something.
Hi! I totally understand what you mean. So it's usually when you hit rockbottom, maybe you just haven't reached yours yet. Doesn't mean you can't still change things but that sudden switch ppl talk about typically happens when you reach a point where you can't live like that anymore (whatever it is). Don't know if this helps but just know it's not as easy as just waking up and making a decision so keep trying and don't give up! making the decision is easy but in order to follow through on the difficult journey afterward you need the determination not to go back to whatever caused you to start losing weight. I hope this helps and don't beat yourself up too much, my advice would be just to make small good decisions everyday it's not always all or nothing. Good luck!
Good for you! you look good...I need to lose
Like you said life is hard but keep on pushing
YOU LOOK AMAZING REGARDLESS 👏 You look soooo healthy and I wish I had your motivation
Certified Gold!!!!!
All my admiration god helps the Braves, and you have to be Brave to make that huge change.
God bless her.
I get that she wants to embrace her self and her new body, but wouldnt it be less irksome and just better in general if she got rid of the extra skin? Wouldnt that make more sense, just for her to have a better quality life?
Money.
I mean most want to but it is super expensive it usually around 7 thousand dollars.
It’s very costly but definitely a goal for me!
@@alishajoyner4854 7k? She can get loans for that. She'd be in debt but Id do it for better quality of life. People have 50k+ in student debt and some 15k+ in auto, so 7k aint that bad. Insurance may even cover some of it.
Not everyone wants cosmetic surgery
What a great personality! She's definitely beautiful. Very inspiring!
awwl thanks for sharing your journey you look fab
super inspiring!
She does look gorgeous now!. Is so strange how the body put on so much weight with fast food, bread sugary food etc., and how much a person can loose when she stop eating all that greasy sugary food.
I gave up carbs and sugar also and lost 70lbs
She really is a Mamacita! 🥰
She is definitely an inspiration to me.
That always means so much to me 😍
Letting your child overeat is ABUSE. Don’t let them be a mordibly obese kid and struggle to lose weight later on in life. I don’t mean being chubby, nothing wrong with being lil fat and letting your kid eat snacks often but I’m talking about when they’re obese I see it to often and it’s sad
You have 150 reasons to be proud of yourself and your lovely family is a bigger reason to be proud. You go girl!
Shes absolutely Beautiful!!!!!
