I’m a gym girl who lost 200lbs – I still have loose skin and stretch marks but also ‘killer core muscles’

A GYM girl documented her fitness journey and people are impressed with her progress.

Ellie Louise (@elliesjourney_) dropped over 200 pounds and rebuilt her body composition in 2019.

She shared the dramatic transformation in a video with over 63,000 TikTok followers.

“Pov: you changed your life,” she said, displaying a video of herself golfing before she started working out.

After two videos of her previous, larger self, she revealed her new body in workout gear.

She revealed that she used to be 151.2kgs, which made her obese, but she has since dropped over 200 pounds to stand at 59kg.

However, she found that she was still left with lots of reminders from her bigger days.

“Loose skin, stretch marks, and scars all still very much present,” she said.

“But so are those killer core muscles.”

People asked her what her biggest motivation for the lifestyle change was and she answered honestly.

“It’s easy to answer, my children,” she said.

“Everyone says they would die for their kids but I want to choose to live for mine.”

“My greatest wish is that they grow up with self-love and acceptance and know that they can do anything.”

People were inspired by her journey.

“Absolutely amazing,” said one commenter.

“I wish I could do this,” said another.
