Woman Loses Half Her Weight And Now Inspires Others

After this woman loses half her weight, she is getting the makeover that she totally deserves. At her largest, Ashleigh was 288 pounds. This young woman did not even realize how out of hand her weight had become until she saw a picture of herself.

“I don’t really remember how it started but I can always remember that I would turn to food for everything. Whether it be because I was happy or sad or bored, food was my best friend, my comfort.”

From that moment, Ashleigh decided to make a change and she signed up for a weight loss program. She immediately began to see results and felt the confidence to continue on with the process. Over the years, Ashleigh ended up losing 145 pounds, which was half of her body weight.

“These days I maintain my weight loss by staying active with my kids. I do fitness workouts at home and I try to eat mostly natural whole foods.”

Her story was so inspiring that this North Dakota woman was invited onto The Rachael Ray Show for a special surprise. Ashleigh always considered herself a bit of a tomboy, but she had dreams of stepping out of her shell and wearing new things. That is where the show came in and gave her the ultimate beauty makeover.

Now, Ashleigh looks even more stunning and she gets to showcase her new look and weight loss story in People magazine. What an incredible moment for such a special young woman.
