A WOMAN who saw her weight balloon to 264lbs after falling pregnant has lost 121lbs naturally - and now has the flat stomach she was working so hard towards. After falling pregnant with her first child, Victoria Bowen, from Red Cliffs, Australia, started eating for two quite literally. But rather than go back to her usual eating patterns before the pregnancy, the 28-year-old says she continued to eat more and more. Trapped in a cycle where she felt unhappy with her weight and appearance but then in turn comfort ate, Victoria even stopped leaving the house. The mother of two, also refused to weigh herself, too afraid to see what the final figure was. When she did, she was so shocked, she knew she needed to change, kickstarting a new healthy eating and exercise regime.

Who else is addicted to watch those storys? Is it just me?
Your Method so motivating!
Me also!
Me too 🙋....
haha not just you. It helps me stay motivated since I do not have any gym buddy where I live
@@Uchawibeatz cool! Keep up!
Whats your favourite exercise? Whats fun for you?
Likes = days I will workout
Try my best tips
Alright so when do you start? That's about 3 months of working out there.
Hannah Frey I started two months ago just doing small activities, 3 half push ups and 10 squats a day. I worked my way up to 12 half pushups, 40 squats, 30 sit-ups, 60 bicep curls and a 30 second plank every day. But I’ve been losing motivation recently, but now I have three months worth’s!
@@lindsay_carv Wow that's pretty awesome!! Good for you! I'd say if you're losing motivation doing those exercises you may want to change to a different activity. Personally, I burn out quickly on repetitious things, so it's hard for me to stay motivated. But I found a love of dancing & playing hackysack, which can both be pretty intense! You may want to look into funner ways to work out to keep you stimulated ^_^
@@cobblecattt Thank you so much! I might try dancing, it seems really fun even though I'm horrible at it😂
120 kilos is 265 lbs. You're welcome 🤓
Who needs a calculator when we got Eileen D?!
@@whitebewt9794 lol
Wow, she didn't look like she weighed that much tbh. Congrats to her! 👏
@Mikhail Gorbachev HA. That is comical!
And 55 kilos? Haha
She must have had a lot of willpower to be able to do this.
@Mikhail Gorbachev She gained weight while pregnant. Grow up.
I'm scared to have surgery so I definitely wouldn't have willpower
@Mikhail Gorbachev Instead of being a negative Nancy could you just give credit where credit is due? She lost the weight/changed her lifestyle and now shes good.
@@christaljonan8701 true. She tried her best and it paid off well
@Mikhail Gorbachev it must suck to always look at things in such a negative light
I was genuinely inspired by this video, and I don't see a reason not to start today, am 285 aiming for 180
You can do it!!
Edina Monsoon girl bet me too
Brandon Crawford I’m 180 I want to get 160
Same
DO IT!!
I love seeing these. I think I comment on these weight loss videos everytime lol. I’m down 18lbs so far and these videos keep me motivated . Good job for her 👏. She looks so good.
Dearestrella girl same
I'm gonna be honest, the dress wasn't worth losing weight. That body is worth it though 100%
That was her motivation so yeah it was.
@@alltimedreamer8073 and my motivation was to make a joke so yeah
Damn, accurate😂 sometimes the illusion is what keeps people going...like the oasis in the desert.
Bro exactly. That dress wasn't even that good 😂😂😂 but I'm impressed by her motivation
The dress looksawful on her...her arms just aren't thin enough for the spaghetti straps, they look like sausages tied up with string.
I hate how unenthusiastic her friend was about that dress, GIRL! YOU'RE FRICKING KILLING IT! STUNNING!🗣💃🏻🥵
Jealousy
Some people r not that expressive.She did look happy for her.Btw, is she the same person who helped her in the gym?
@@reneeren293 yeah I don’t see a problem, she’s smiling..
Not. The dress looked like a hookers
This girl has went down a very caring and confident path
Iam in this journey it is so hard but not giving up I got lots of support

Hello
I am from india
can you share your this journey which have been facing for a long time
Me, sat here eating potato chips: that looks easyy
SAMEEEE!
Lol its not easy,, i try for few days and give up,, she's got willpower
Gorgeous transformation! I went from 209lbs to 140lbs lowest weight. Sure, loose skin is annoying, but I would 100% choose the loose skin over the fat I had any day.
Do you have a lot of loose skin? I am 208 and want to get to 163 lbs... wondering if I'll have loose skin.
Erica,
What was your exercise routine and your nutrition?
Bruuhh she was 267 pounds and I'm 11 and wieght 250 but I started my journey 2 months ago and name I'm 237
KINGKING 3CC you can do it buddy I believe in you 💕
Don’t give up lil bro it’s easy to give up but what makes a man is pulling through
Keep pushing kid you got it
Thank y'all so much❤❤
You're doing really well, keep it up! The more you learn about nutrition and exercise, the easier it'll be!
Only when u reach rock bottom your only option is way back up.
You go girl
She's one gorgeous lady!
Even before! But the sadness held that back. It's great to see the real her. So beautiful.
It wasn't the real her she's not different....she just wanted to lose weight she was beautiful before it was her choice don't say this is the real her that makes no sense...
@@unknownplayer2109 lol I didn't say her body wasn't the real he. When someone is depressed and unhappy with themselves, there isn't much room for their best selves to shine through, or the "real you". (Has to do with mental health, basically) No malice in my previous comment, it's just good to see she is happy with herself. Of course she was beautiful before!😊
I know it's easy to misunderstand comments on the internet, I'm sorry you took it to be agressive or ignorant.
@@unknownplayer2109 don't twist people's comments/words, it's not funny or nice.
@@atropabelladonna3120 am I laughing? I think not...
@@LeaElfArt I'm sorry I took it the wrong way I respect ur opinion and everything you said I'm so sorry
She’s literally 2 lbs more then my heaviest, and 2 lbs less then what I’m aiming for. She has done such an amazing thing, and she looks strong and beautiful. I’m nearing the halfway point and need motivation to get back at it. This has helped to inspire me, thank you.
I’m so happy for her! Almost 18 years ago I lost 185 pounds (just a bit under 84K). I’ve had several skin removal surgeries and it’s absolutely the best thing I’ve done for ME. I train with my coach 5 days a week for an hour. It makes me feel amazing and it gets better after every workout!
Been watching these all week. Started my journey last week and so far I’m down 5kg. Another 26 to go 🌱 we got this.
It must be amazing to finally get into that dream dress. She looks amazing!!!
Well done. She looks amazing and has gave herself a brand new life.
Love these Brand New Me, it keeps me motivated to continue my weightloss regiment.☝️🏾🤗😘🇯🇲
Good for you, my friend!💃 You look like a million bucks in that dress, but more importantly you're healthy! 🥳 Congrats, and keep up the hard work!👍💜
I dont know you, but, I like your vibe! Thanks for supporting others, have a killer day!
@@sc3r3n3spac3 That's so kind of you to say! With all the craziness and negativity swirling around these days, I do what I can to be kind to as many people as I can. Plus, I'm a nurse so helping, and not hurting, is in my blood; I can't help it. 😉
She’s beautiful
Did you feel the same way in her "before" photo?
White Bew-T of course! matter of fact, i said that because she’s beautiful regardless
@@whitebewt9794 why does that matter? Everyone has a preference. I wouldnt be mad if someone didnt like me when I was 330lbs. I didnt even like myself. Some people are attracted to fat people and some aren't.
@@whitebewt9794 nope
Living the same kind of transition. I am tearing up when I see her feeling
She pretty much just keeps repeating the same 3-4 lines for five minutes...
I hate that dress but she looks amazing! Very inspiring!
Start at 126 kg
Now 120 kg
IN 20 days it's too hard to lose 😭
You've lost 6kg in 20 days? That's amazing! It's not going to fall off over night.
@@hollieelvey1180 thanks for your appreciation
Now I'm standing at 105 kg 🤗
@@alianwarmuhammadanwar1584 yes girl amazing 👌👏
Ali khan, You can do it, just a tip I learned 45 years ago from readers digest, to eat half of what you are eating for 6 months than another half. After that make it your life style and never have loose skin. I took about 2 years and always remain the same for 43 years. Now I do dumbbells,cadio, abs, 63 years old and have to tone up.
Start at 107,2
Now 98 kg.
Im 5 Weeks, Sport, intermitted fasting and healthy Food, no Sugar.
This is what we want to see not embrace the fatty .. 🙊🤪🤪🤪 eating healthy lead to a happy life
This is a really inspiring and positive story, but I have to say, there are people fat and happy, and people sad and depresed with gorgeous bodies so, my point is, the problem es not "the faty" the problem is health and happiness...
I feel skin removal surgery for previously obese people should be free as an incentive for people to get healthy.
Amazing! I’ve lost 84 pounds doing jump rope and drinking proteins shake. Fortunately don’t have loose skin.
congratulations! you deserve it! love from OZ :)
Finally someone who talks about a whole food diet switch..so important
Wow that is a beautiful transformation, stay positive and also those who want to change their physique can take inspiration from thia woman, #Positive Vibes, #Positive Life.
She looks great!
Amazing! This is why I don’t wanna go that far with the weight gain because I am totally against surgeries on myself . Like it scares me , like it’s one thing that holds me back from gaining more weight is being afraid of loosening my skin then go through all this surgery pain and stuff so I try not to gain weight much because I’m not a surgery person at all
I love her level of confidence !!
She’s done such and amazing job and so glad she found a great surgeon. He did a beautiful job as well
I have seen people trying to find differences after few months of gymming and still not seeing differences in weight... Here might be the possible reasons:
Not the right type of workout for ur body (prefer HIIT)
Big portions (even though u eat less calories but still eat bigger portions, increase no. of portions but don't decrease calories and eat right type of calories)
Ur body type (u wont be able to lose any more than what ur body is gonna be able to so this is a huge factor
U have/haven't been working out before so seeing difference might be a lil difficult
Keep doing ur best all my best wishes for u don't give up ♥️👍
P.S. I m not an expert but this is something I learnt from vids 😅
I was weightloss journey videos while lifting weights, kinda motivates me to push harder ❤️
I start my weight loss journey back in August 2019 I'm not to worried about the loose skin has of now but definitely feeling. So much better since I started
Sandra, Just a suggestion, aimed for 2 years and your skin is able to contract. Eat half of what u are eating for 6 months and than go another half. I did that 45 years ago with tips from readers digest for 2 years and always maintain my weight. Now I do weights, abs,cadio to firm up. I must say it is possible to have christie Brinkley shape at 63
Fellow Aussie cheering you on here! Congrats! 1:42 I have the same little plant in my house haha😂
These videos need to be longer 😍
Barcroft doing all these videos on people losing weight...not " body shaming", or even the joke of accepting ones addictions to food, but just letting people be honest about their time in the darkness & transition out of it. So, good on y'all.
Congratulations Victoria on your amazing weight loss journey, you look incredible. 🙂 No matter how many bad days you have, ALWAYS try to remember the “WHY”, the reason you started your journey and that will help push passed all your struggles and keep going. 🙂👍
If you want something enough, you do it 😊
It’s crazy to think that if you set a goal that you want to achieve by this time next year, you only have to make a 0.27% change every day to achieve it... I’m all about progressive, compound improvements that add up over time.
So proud of your story
Hi
congrats gorgeous, you already had it hidden inside😍 ❤
please also tell us about exercise and diet they followed so that it can be easy for us also
Where did this come from I was searching for how to gain weight
Way to stay focused on your goal. Amazing transformation.
These are my motivation..i lost 9lbs in one week..from 187 to 178...this week will continue..its all up hill from here
Tori is so inspiring ❤❤❤
So inspirational... amazing ! I cried happy tears for her
I started at 278 ish and LOST 135 lbs😊💪 I share my story and how I did it on here at joy neville!😘
To accomplish something like this,patience is the key. Just remember you won't look perfect within couple of weeks,give your body more time and continue with your diet and exercises.It will pay off eventually .
Similar story to mine so inspiring. I weighed in at 230 pounds December of last year. I had a meltdown and knew I had to change. Still working at it slowly but I’ve lost 45 pounds and got 60 left to go. It’s been months and I haven’t given up or gone on a diet. I just eat healthy and walk.
What happened to the husband ?
She dumped him for the pool boy.
This is fantastic but being debbie downer i have to say seeing all these videos showing the loose skin you're are left with puts me off losing the weight as I would never have surgery which means i'd have to live with it. Well done to her though she looks amazing!
If you lose it gradually. Would have less loose skin
Nope. Not after having gained tat much weight. You won’t ever reabsorb all of that skin. It’s not how the human body works.
@@-MaryPoppins- i said less loose skin. I have a friend who was 150kg, now hes 90kg, lost it over 2 years gradually and his skin is still tight. No surgery needed. I know it maybe a little different for women but point was, if you lose it very fast, then skin cant return back to normal. It is pretty elastic after all
Thats how I feel about my wedding dress
Do the scares heal and disappear after the surgery or you have them for life?
I was 76.6kg and started my weight loss journey in October 4, 2020. Now I am 69kg but aiming for flat tummy 😔. Its too hard to lose weight 😭.
Surprisingly, loosing less weight is harder than loosing much weight!
Wow i want like that .but i cant go to the gym cozy baby too young plus i cant afford a babysitter but that is my goal
sc höne try home workouts,it’s worked for me 💕
Home workout = burpees
I’m just 45kilo yet I love watching this videos 🤷🏽♀️
I really appreciate your dedication as you have brought down your weight almost 90% which is very difficult to do in real life but you have shown your aim that you wanted to lesen your weight and you did it, I pray for you to the god that god gives you a lot strength to fight bad evil
She should save that dress for date night
respect my dear ))
I been on diet and my size was 22.24 in clothes now I'm size 18 teen in clothes
I appreciate your story. It’s similar to me, now🥲😭. Thank you for inspiring me to do better. May God continue to move you to motivate others🌷
Literally so obsessed with these stories
It gives me motivation, inspiration and power 💜
She took 4 years a honest transformation
120kg sounds better than 265lbs
if i only had this type of motivation
Exhibitionsm…..
Congratulations 🎉. That is a remarkable transformation that you've achieved. Please do keep it up.
God I’m so scared of loose skin!!! I mean the weight off my joints will be amazing but….. to still have something you hate after all that hard work is so depressing. 😭😭 And surgery isn’t an option for many people. It’s like your decisions haunt you in a visual way.
Wow! I lost 15kg so far and still have some to Go. I want to get to 75kg till july (5-6kg to go). Wish me luck!
Thank u for mentioning it in kilos ... Everytime I watch these videos I have to turn back to Google to convert those lbs to kgs 😑
Congratulations! You look 20 yrs younger!
We have to be very careful about eating habits. Diet plays a major role. The challenging thing is to main that weight after weight loss. There is need to keep a record of what we are eating in a day. It is very important.
No offence, I'm a fellow Aussie and it was good to hear kgs instead of pounds, but it goes to show if your determined to lose it you will, good onya 👍😊
👏 Good for you girl! Wooohoo! 👏
Why is the introduction in pounds when she's Aussie and said the weight in kg? It's so annoying. Metric system guys!
Bravissimo...me too I 'm on diet...since 28 days .I hope toloose 30 kg....
Who else thought she didn’t look big in the before.. it doesn’t look like she lost half her body weight bc she never looked big to me. She just had some tummy chub
Good luck on your journey
She doesn’t look like 264 pounds in the first pic. Looks like me and I’m around 150. Maybe she’s tall. I’m 5’1 and some change. I’m overweight for my height.
She looks amazing. Good on her. It’s hard work. I’ve been struggling to just lose the 10,15 I want to lose. But cleaning up my diet isn’t enough. My metabolism is slow due to thyroid. I need to hit the gym.
Well maybe she’s a little bigger. Anyway congrats on the hard work
I was thinking the same thing,there were other pics of her with more clothes on that looked more like 264,she probably didnt feel comfortable taking pics with less closed on at her biggest
Justin Voluck Yea I wasn’t expecting the skin. She wasn’t THAT big. I do carry most of my weight in my stomach (people would ask if I was pregnant all the time) but I think at most I’ll have some cellulite
@@ongogablogean4920 she did have children gaining even a little bit of weight during pregnancy can cause lose skin. I know from experience. I was only 100 pounds when I got pregnant after pregnancy I went down to 110 and had lose skin. It doesn't happen to everyone though.
I think she tall bc I’m 5’4” and I weigh less but look bigger (IMO).
It seems like these videos are just as much about loose skin as they are weightloss. I'd love to see one with someone who, say, can't afford a skin removal surgery and they just embrace it.
279.8 so technically 280 but aiming for 140 so I’m trying be I lose half my wait to. This is a inspirational story!
What maladjusted person would dress like that for a wedding?
Congrats I would like to know how long did you take to loose 55kg
Gorgeous dress. Well done😘
Congratulations! That’s an amazing job, very inspiring
seems she lost weight and lost the husband also
I'm happy to see people happy! Congrats!
Not trying to be an enabler nor saying it’s all about looks as I get health matters just wanted to say *she’s cute at both sizes.* Please don’t attack me.
AMAZING CHANGE GIRL YOU GO!
She's so beautiful!❤
Wooooooe she became so much beautiful
