When she was 16, Josie Desgrand felt stuck in a loop of bullying, self-doubt, and bad eating. She wished for change because she weighed 127 kg. In front of the mirror, she had a turning point that made her want to break free.
With the help of her father Mark, Josie started a trip that would change her life. She made exercise goals that she could reach, switched to a healthy low-carb diet, and drank more water.
Their shared desire to win drove her to do better.
Josie posted about her progress on Instagram (@nolongerfatjosie), where she gained fans from all over the world. She moved forward with the help of the support and responsibility. She felt much better about herself as the weight went down.
Everyone was shocked when Josie went from 127 kgs to 63 kgs. She looked happy as she wore a sleek dress at age 18.
She feels empowered and wants to use her story to inspire others. She is planning to write a book to help other people regain their confidence and make their own changes.
