Woman looks unrecognisable after losing over 67kg in weight loss journey sparked by a single photo

A woman underwent a remarkable transformation after a photo of herself inspired her to embark on a weight-loss journey.

Chantelle Sisco weighed 162kg at her heaviest and wore size 24 clothing.

The mother, from Queensland, Australia, stated that she has always struggled with her weight and has been overweight for the majority of her life.

Her self-esteem plummeted after the birth of her son Ace.

According to news.com.au, she gained 30kg during her pregnancy as a result of overeating and not being as active.

Chantelle, who boasts 11,800 followers on Instagram, told the publication: “I never had any confidence when I was overweight.

“I hated being so out of shape. I couldn’t even get up off the floor while holding my son, which really upset me.

“When I saw that picture of myself at my friend’s baby shower, I knew I needed to change.

“I didn’t recognise myself and the person I had become. I was embarrassed and insecure, and honestly just sad.”

She started with small changes like eating better before adding short walks into her routine.

Once she built up the confidence, Chantelle began going to the gym with her personal trainer mum Rhoeda, 54.

Her hard work paid off as she now weighs 95kg.

She enjoys eating a balanced diet full of high quality protein and fats, along with healthy carbs and fresh fruits.

Speaking about her journey, Chantelle said: “If I can do it, anyone can.”

Her watershed moment came when she saw a photo of herself from a friend’s baby shower.

She could “not even recognize” herself, and it was at that point that she decided to make a drastic change.She has now lost 67kg and dropped five dress sizes in two years. Watch the video here
