This is really inspiring! I've lost 200 pounds so far and it's very true that exercise will make a huge difference not just physically but mentally. It is tough but not impossible!
Hello Tori B, this is my first time watching this video and just like you, that's the first thing I noticed, how she didn't respond to Chris Powell the first time but doubled down. To be honest, I don't care for her at all on Good Morning America. I much prefer Robin Roberts. Lara doesn't seem like a good person to me if she can't even bring herself to admit that the girl is very pretty!
*I Weighed 310 at my highest and 190 and my lowest (lost 120lbs! within 6 months) I had saggy bingo arms tho they werent even bad, **weightlose.fitness** i just lacked muscle and didnt work out. and could easily be toned by working out, which i have been doing and ive seen great results quick. I do have a lil extra pudge on my stomach and plenty of stretchmarks which have faded. Strength training is the best way to go for faster results, better results, and you'll love going to the gym more than if you were to do cardio alone. Do not worry about sagging skin - deal with it when you get there because you'll be way happier at your goal weight with some extra skin compared to where you begin!*
wow, at first I kinda excused her ignoring him bc she does have a schedule and has to go quick, but if he repeated the question, he obviously really wanted an answer.
That's what I thought, but it takes 1 sec to say "yes she it!" He said it twice and she ignored him both times. What does it hurt to encourage someone!! smh
I love Chris 💖 He’s such a great coach! Why? Because he doesn’t care only about training them physically but also mentally which plays a much more important role in this kind of journeys than what most people think ✨ Amazing!
It's best to become independent from your family as soon as possible because seriously they could be your biggest obstacle. I can't wait to move out myself. She did a totally breathtaking make over, I hope she keeps up. Congrats!
I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. ru-vid.comUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.
+Debbie Edwards She still could have said well I think she was always beautiful. If you think that, you say that. She would not say this girl is beautiful.
I noticed that too. Maybe they were running out of time, she does look even more beautiful inside and out after all her effort though. After a while being active, eating healthy, and seeing the results improves your mental state and confidence. It has improved mine
well she could have just agreed and said ''she looks beautiful before and after'' if she really thought about Ashley that way, the news woman was so rude
I can relate, my family is pretty toxic too. I’ve been away from home for about 4 weeks and noticed I lost some weight without even exercising. It’s real what bad relationships can do to your physical health
I totally understand where she is coming from. I've been struggling to tell my family this for years. I'm a food addict and I beg my family to stop bringing in junk food, but since they're all petite and they love sweets they still bring it in the house. I'm 20 now and at my biggest and it's such a struggle; I lose some of the weight, and gain twice as much back. I honestly think the only way to help myself is to remove myself from the environment. I love my family, but it's easier for me to change my diet and lifestyle than it is to change a whole house diet since their bodies needs and can take different foods than I can.
Five years since I made this post and a lot has changed: I moved out, got therapy, I have a healthy relationship with food. I had weight loss surgery in March and have lost 52 lbs so far. Overall I’m really happy 😊
pangpengmaster I think you need to gain some weight! Of course you want to do it in a healthy way. Start lifting weights and eating more meals. Protein and plenty of veggies. Snack on Avocados, protein shakes. Use Coconut oil too.
Ashley's mother and family are low life losers in my opinion, and I hope she wipes them from her life, if they could not support her in this massive battle to potentially save her own life. The mother is nothing but a first class bitch!! There is a LOT of truth to the saying "you can choose your friends, but not your family", as Ashley found out, but thank God she had a GOOD and TRUE friend to be there for her. One day her mother and selfish siblings will need HER, and I hope she spits in their faces!! GO Ashley, and have a great life, YOU DESERVE IT sweet lady! KUDOS to you for your astonishing success. :)
Her family is super nice. They are not "low life losers", if anything, Ashley was. She demands her family be punished because she can't control herself. That is dispicable. Don't you dare blame her amazing family.
You don't need a gym, trainer, shakes, supplements or extreme dieting to lose weight (unless you have a pre-existing medical condition, then you might need supplements). All you need is determination and finding a routine that works for you. That being said, this lady's transformation was absolutely amazing and her trainer sounds like he really cared about her as a person and was proud of her success for her sake, not for himself. Such a nice guy.
These TV trainers always seem to approach obese people as if they are 22-year-olds trying to lose 15 pounds at a boot camp. You would get the same or even better results from simply walking 1 hour every day for exercise a first, and then slowly adding resistance training to add upper body muscle. As for diet, just go with simple, plain whole foods. Make oatmeal from scratch, low sugar. Eat brown rice as a carb. Stay away from bread, juice, and desserts for a while. Most people will lose most of their weight within 6 months. But that doesn't make for a good TV show.
got to disagree, sometimes you do need the right people to push you. at bootcamp probably the only useful thing in the military lol. I lost tons but needed that constant on my arse. I've got no determination but focusing on walking only. It'd definitely help to have an early morning walk group
@@aprilj2628 Yeah, but when you're dealing with a super obese person who you do not have complete control over, you need to train them differently. In the military the trainees have no choice.
@@aprilj2628if you are sick You go to the doctor, if your car breaks down you take it to the mechanic, if you have plumbing problems you call a plumber electrical problem is it called an electrician. But when it comes to weight loss everyone thinks they’re a professional
Well, that WAS extreme. Key thing to remember, as Chris Powell said, it is key to find a fitness minded community. I would just add that the community can be online too, for those who struggle with being around groups of people. Lots of online resources available. Ashley's conditions were severe enough to bring in this expert, and he covered all aspects, not just weight loss, but habits and feeling good about yourself. Awesome job!
I cried! That's astonishing! I thought me having to lose 20lbs was terrible, but this would have been hell on wheels!!! It took me 2 months! She did AMAZING!!
Struggling with excess weight held me back, but this amazing product changed everything. From 95kg to a fit 65kg, I'm now living life to the fullest. click here to seize the opportunity for a healthier future!
What's beautiful is how much happier she looked and seemed afterwards. And yes, to answer Chris' question, yes, she is just downright beautiful overall.
She did amazing considering her family. Goes to show that just because you didn’t hit certain goals doesn’t mean you can’t transform. She lost 48% of her original body weight in a year!!
Damn that host was shady af!! Twice Chris Powell said "isn't she beautiful?" and she completely ignored him both times. She has issues. Ashley did a fantastic job! What an amazing transformation!
I’m 20 and 230 (5’7 woman) I was able to go from 242 to 200 before but my binging got out of control again and I gained 30 back. I promised myself that I would never reach my highest weight again and when I saw 230 I was devastated, but not defeated, it’s been one week since my last binge and I have lost 2 pounds! I know I can do this and when I get to 200 I won’t stop and spiral again, I just can’t.
I’m on my journey as well. I’ve lost 12 pounds in the last 2 months and want to make sure to continue my weight loss and not lose my progress like I have before. You can do this! Try to be consistent and you’ll get there.
First, the anchor ignored his questions twice. Second, she said Ashley has lost so much weight and MORE TO COME? Is she trying to say Ashley is still fat and not beautiful? Witch
You guys don't need a trainer, you are your own motivators. :) Don't even need a gym! Just find at home programs that work for you and do it! I hovered around 186 for years before I just got sick of it and became more active, tweaked my diet, started experimenting with workout DVDs and doing couch to 5k. I was 166 at last weigh in and still losing, I'm a work in progress but I feel SO much better. You just have to decide that your health is more important and get up! You've got this.
I’ve been dropping weight like never before, using the diet plan *2WeightLossFast. Com* It’s been the most powerful plan I’ve ever used. Do a Google search and read up on this.?

no fam no prob 💖she did great what a hero 🌻the struggle with the family is the biggest one in this challenge i am so happy she moved out of this toxic environment 💕
As a professional personal trainer in Lincoln UK, I can vouch for many viewers here that often women are happy with other women staying overweight and unhealthy….its now the norm for obesity to be promoted/ championed on tv and marketing, convincing young women that they’re ’powerful’ or ‘empowered’ or ‘sassy’ as long as they’re obese and that they should be blissfully happy with poor health.
Incredible! This is really lighting a new fire under my ass. I lost 150 pounds a couple of years ago, kept it off, but haven't really done much since. I have at least another 60 to go. I'm inspired after seeing this.
+FatWomanGoesRaw Wow, good for you!!!! I have about 50 pounds to lose. I went vegan and I am eating very healthy. I have lost 6 pounds this month without dieting and I feel really good. I am following The Starch Solution, by Dr. John McDougall. It is easy. I wish you a lot of luck!!!
Found this so relatable......motivation is incredibly hard to have if one has an obsessively controlling family which uses physical violence as a threat coupled with emotional manipulation to make one eat junk food as per the family's wish whenever the family wants. Therefore, double kudos to her for overcoming the additional holdbacks from her family!
320lb seems almost reasonable compared to some I have seen on YT recently. Over 500lb, and closer to 600lb. How on earth does 600lb happen? I must say Sincere CONGRATULATIONS to Ashley! 😍. What an achievement! Best wishes to everyone trying to lose weight!
I never seen this show before when I seen this story and she looked in that mirror and cried I just started doing the same thing everone has a story to tell , mY story a bit different I was molested when I was 5 and Raped when I was 15 Depression eat away my life and I gained so much wait It took a long time to get a hold of my Life and now I'm working hard to lose the pounds it's more to lose all the bad negativity out of my life and my life style change the way I eat and the people I'm around ok I was more of a longer push people away but I've been working on that too . ... this woman is so lucky that she got her life the way she wanted to so happy for her this make me cry for her and for my self as well. I was 299 im at 250 now I still have more to go my wait Goal is to be at 120 . . I say no one should be putting anyone down about there wait no matter what size they are because you don't know what that person is going through... PS I wish I'd meet this workout life coach so he can train me it would be awesome I hear he is amazing at his work 💪💪✌✌✌👌👌👏👏

Jada Brown Awww thank u you're so sweet i really appreciate it so much . Yes i have been fighting for a long time I pray that on day i do forget the past, one can for somewhat forgive but never forget hope to make my self stronger like i know i can...thank u so much for you're kinds work's
+Yary Baez You are doing amazing! Keep pushing forward and working towards the person you want to become. I relate to your story and the challenges it comes with, but you can do it! I'd love to connect and follow your journey!
The support system is the way to go. Me and my mom are going through the journey together. I've lost 16 lbs so far (5 weeks in) and she's lost 12. I want to not be 'thin' or 'skinny' but healthy and comfortable in my own skin and with my body. I, personally, do want some curves - I don't plan on being a stick. But I also don't want to be 'obese' anymore. I plan and will work towards losing at least 100 lbs altogether. The thing that got me working towards it? I want to go hike, scuba diving, snorkling, bike riding and not need a break after 15 minutes. I want to take a long hiking trip and go camping. I love the outdoors and really want that. I just .... always had the weight and my lungs couldn't handle it. For the first time in years, me and my mom are going on a long vacation to Myrtle Beach. We want to at least be more fit than we are when we're down there. So we completely changed our eating habits (food bill has DRASTICALLY gone down with is a plus) and we exercise for about 20-30 minutes every night 6 nights a week. We can't do too much yet but we're slowly working up the time. And, next month, we are planning on joining LA Fitness by us - which we're hoping will help too!
Smh through the whole episode I swear I was cheering her on and being so much more supportive that her family. If you watched this episode, at the end did you see how her blonde sister was looking at her like why she bothered to come and support her. She had a salty look on her face the whole time. I mean even if you aren't happy for her just do it for the cameras cause she really looked bitchy asf in that corner rolling her eyes and what not. Totally proud of you Ashley. This was my first episode ever watching and I must say you're a true inspiration for anyone who wants to lose weight ( including myself). I'm going to try my hardest to push myself like you did. You've gave me some serious motivation. Thank you!!!
You know that same sister is going to be sucking her butt trying to get some of that prize money too. Made me so sad to see how her family treated her, but so happy she was able to overcome it :)
