Losing weight and getting into shape isn't easy, and nor should it happen quickly. There are many 'crash' diets which are designed to help you lose weight at a rapid rate, but the weight loss is often unsustainable. No sooner do you finish the diet, you put all the weight back on, and you're back where you started. Losing weight and keeping it off is a long - and sometimes difficult - process, but it's well worth it when you can achieve end results like these.

Over a period of two years and three months, she didn't just lose weight - she replaced it with muscle. Now she works as a personal trainer - although she also looks like she could be a professional athlete.
