Girl Shares Inspiring 9-Stone Weight Loss Time-lapse Video

If you’re looking for some Monday motivation to get off your arse and head to the gym this week, Justine McCabe’s awesome Instagram account will probably do it for you.

After she suffered a debilitating back injury and her husband tragically took his own life, Justine turned to food for comfort, reaching 22-stone at her heaviest. On her tumblr – hairstargetsfit – she describes how, through her grief, she made the “choice to live” and decided to hit the gym… hard.

She’s now a whopping 124 lbs lighter, and says her weight loss is down to determination, exercise and diet change.

Writing on her Instagram, she said: “Doing whatever it takes to fight for the life I want! Stand tall, be fearless and hustle!”Now that’s fitspo, if I’ve ever heard it. She’s documented the whole journey on Instagram, culminating in the time-lapse below, that shows just how hard she’s worked.

Authenticity requires vulnerability, transparency and integrity If you asked me what the hardest part of my journey has been…I’d quickly tell you it was getting to -122lb weight loss and trying to move past that. No wraps, surgery or pills. I am a recovering binge/emotional eater. Going to the gym is the easy part. My passion for living an active lifestyle is greater than ever before. In the last few months, I’ve seen my muscle tone change drastically. Although, getting over all leaner has been slow to boot. I have been giving in too easily to emotional eating these days. Well…except for yesterday…I blame St Patrick’s day I’ve been quite motivated and renewed recently. I have brought more intensity to every workout this week than I had in quite some time. I couldn’t be more thankful for my workout and meal plan being laid out for me. It makes what I’m doing so much easier. No matter how many times I stumble…I am always going to bounce right back…because I want this next goal more than anything. So without any special lighting or angles…here I am. Jiggly thighs, loose skin, stretch marks and bloated…and even with all that, I am extremely proud of how far I have come. It would be easy to maintain. Easy to stop and feel complacent. I never thought I’d say this….and I never imagined that my body would be able to go further…but I am going to continue to work my ass off. Because I want to be a body builder. I am going to push this body to the limits. I am going to get it stage ready! Accountability. Commitment. Results. #ichoosetolive #cantstopwontstop #goalgetter #limitless #keepgoing #teamjonnystraws #IAMMOTIV8 #weightlossmotivation #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #fitspiration #girlswholift #fitspo #fitfam #eatclean #selflove #instafit #fitnessaddict #trainandtransform #girlswithmuscle #neverfail #fitmom #fattofit #bodybuilding #beastmode #flexfriday #kratos #jonnystraws A video posted by Justine -124lbs #ichoosetolive (@hairstargetsfit) on Mar 18, 2016 at 10:21pm PDT

Many have asked what my weight loss secret is…and the answer is pretty simple. I do whatever it takes Consistency; my greatest ally…Discipline to do what is hard…Drive to grind when I want to rest…Determination to put in the work when no one is watching…Commitment to never stop no matter what. There was no surgeries, diet pills, wraps or replacement shakes. Aside from eating clean and working out…. One of the best decisions I made during my weight loss journey: enlisting in the help of my online trainer, the transformation specialist; @jonnystraws. Having training/meal/supplement plans laid out for me and adjusted to my personal body type and goals, has not only led to unbelievable changes in my physique and overall health…but the fitness and well being knowledge I have gained…will ensure that this will become a true and lasting lifestyle change. The best is yet to come, so do whatever it takes. Because YOU are worth it! #teamjonnystraws #neverfail #IAMMOTIV8 #motiv8performance #jonnystraws #weightlossmotivation #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #fitspiration #girlswholift #fitspo #fitfam #selflove #instafit #fitnessaddict #trainandtransform #girlswithmuscle #fitmom #fattofit #bodybuilding #beastmode #teamwork #goalgetter #limitless #ichoosetolive #keepgoing #transformation #beforeandafter

Check out her incredible Flipagram here:

The person you see reflecting in the mirror…will provide you with the biggest challenges in life. The human spirit is powerful. Do the work. Suffer the setbacks, push past the pain and excuses. True motivation is not an outside source. It’s staring directly back at you. There is nothing you cannot be, do or have. Live with no regrets and don’t ever give up. This is what drives me. My motivation. #transformationtuesday #teamjonnystraws #neverfail #IAMMOTIV8 #motiv8performance #jonnystraws #weightlossmotivation #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #fitspiration #girlswholift #fitspo #fitfam #selflove #motivation #confidence #weightloss #trainandtransform #girlswithmuscle #fitmom #fattofit #bodybuilding #beastmode #teamgetyokd #spartanrevolution #limitless #ichoosetolive #keepgoing #musclevizion #athlete A video posted by Justine -124lbs #ichoosetolive (@hairstargetsfit) on May 17, 2016 at 9:14am PDT
