FOR years, Carla struggled with food addiction and negative self-talk. The 34-year-old from County Dublin, Ireland, started her transformation journey by tackling the self-critical voice before introducing a calorie controlled diet and walking on a daily basis. At her heaviest, Carla weighed 323. 8lbs and over the course of 12 months, managed to lose 175lbs. This emotional and physical transformation journey has led to Carla feeling more self-confident and able to express herself through fashion. Before, she avoided wearing anything but black clothes but today she is trying on a gorgeous red dress for the first time. Carla told Truly: -I feel like this is the start of something. While kind of the end of my weight loss journey, it-s the start of a new chapter in my life

Well done, Carla! Thank you for being such an inspiration. I have been overweight for many years now and ignoring it, but recently I feel I need to change that closed circle. Because it is not just weight, weight is only the visible effect of inner things going on in us. You look fabulous and I wish you all the happiness and joy!

I have lost over half my body weight. I like feeling healthier, but I miss the feeling of invisibility i had when I was bigger. I don't like the attention of men looking. I wish I was still big because of that. Im happy for her that she healed her inside because that's the important part of being better.

I was 165 at 13. I hated it. I got to 117 at 23. 24? I loved it, but I also hated what it took. Eventually I settled around 120-130. At my strongest I was 137 and could squat 185 for one. No belt Hurt my back at work though and it was so painful to be under the bar. I-m squatting 65lbs now -

Both of these two ladies look incredible. Huge congratulations to them both. I-m just at the very beginning of my journey and I have a very, very long way to go but I-m taking it one day at a time. Thank you for sharing your stories. Xxx

Okay I lost 30lbs in 90 days and I'm still dealing with not losing as much as I want. Hopefully in 6 months look back and see my change and in 1 year see the overall change. It's crazy cause I still feel so fat.

Great achievement although I think if she had just a few pounds on top of what she weighs now she would be perfection! Because ngl her chubby self was gorgeous too but this is definitely healthier.
reply

Such an inspiration! I just started my weight loss journey for health reasons and also to finally be able to wear the clothes I have always been wanting to wear.
reply

It's not just me, right?
These look like two different human beings to me.
I can't see the new her in the old her, why is that?

reply

Black is my favourite colour to wear too! Been trying colours lately now it-s more fun but I still really love the black most hehe

I weigh 368. 6 pounds, I've lost 6 pounds so far just eating better. I have high blood pressure so I needed to make a change.

I lost 50 pounds, and I'm getting into wearing brighter colors as well. Being confident with your body makes a huge difference -

reply

Your before pictures where very beautiful too. You are a lovely girl either way. Congratulations on your fitness goals!

She's got a burlesque-like dark glamour to her. I mean no offense but she looked more beautiful when she was heavier set.
reply

She must feel amazing! That is so much weight to carry around. What a strain on her body. How inspirational!
reply

I can relate, I struggle with over eating to escape but I-m eating less now, no diet and now I-m loosing weight
reply

It is easy to gain weight but not loose it - that-s awesome I-m glad she achieved her goal of loosing weight.
reply

You look beautiful, now and before. I am glad you are happy and have achieved your goal. Best wishes, Carla.

I love the Irish accent. She looks beautiful. And it's great to know she did it naturally without surgery.
reply

This may be my favorite -Brand New Me-, she is such a beautiful woman and she seems kind and authentic.
