The woman isn't the only one who shared her transformation pictures this festive season. One woman lost over four stone, and also took to Reddit to share how she did it.
The Reddit user, “tectonyx”, explained she is 25-years-old, 5ft 4in and that she had changed her lifestyle.
During this transformation, the dieter slimmed down from 15 stone to a trim 10st 10lb.
Her BMI also dropped from 35.8, which is considered obese, to a much healthier 25.5.
The dieter explained she was first inspired to change her lifestyle after it started to affect her health.
The Reddit user started to control calories and by choosing home cooked foods over takeaways.
She said: “Making food at home, and bringing my own snacks. Huge one.
“Was eating fast or fried food almost every night for quite a while.
“I stopped drinking so much soda, and now I basically drink water and Powerade sometimes, if I need sugary drinks.”
Ditching sugary drinks and replacing them with water helped her cut out excess calories and slim down.
As well as following a healthy diet plan, “tectonyx” became more active as she started to lose weight.
Getting an active job which required her to move and doing light exercise also helped her stay in shape.
