- 8 years ago
Amazing timelapse footage and stills of a woman from New Zealand who lost 70kg of weight after combining exercise with weight-loss surgery.
The woman, who hopes to inspire others, later wrote online: "When I tipped the scales at 131.5kg / 290lbs, I knew that I needed to do something drastic.
"On February 7, 2015 I decided to have a gastric bypass."
"Surgery was performed on March 30, 2015 and exactly 8 months and 1 week post surgery, I reached my goal weight - A healthy 70kg / 154.3lbs - well actually a little bit more at 69.9kg, but who's counting," she continued.
"Now 13 months post surgery I weigh a healthy 60.3kg / 133lbs.
"I hope this video brings inspiration to people wanting to live a healthier life."
