223 Lb Woman Reveals What 2 Years Of Fitness Does To Your Body, And Her Transformation Is Unbelievable
Rokas L BoredPanda staff
If you want to lose some weight, this story will definitely inspire you to tackle those excess pounds Rocky-style. Esbeidy Barrera was unhappy with her body, so she decided to make a change and hasn’t looked back ever since.
“Being the socially awkward/lame person that I am, I’m internally screaming because I’m a few pounds down from last time I weighed myself,” the 19-year-old writes. “I’ve never been this darn happy.”
Barrera claims she allows herself an occasional OREO cookie or other dirty pleasure. “I don’t believe in diets, <…> I just try to be careful.” She eats everything, only in moderation and it’s clearly working wonders! Combined with regular cardio and weight training, this helped Barrera to reduce her weight from 223 lbs (101 kg) to 144 lbs (65 kg) in slightly less than 2 years.
“I’m still alive from working out twice a day (if work doesn’t get in the way), waking up at 5 am to go to the gym, be at school at 8 am and then go to work until 11 pm BUT I got goals to reach.” If you ask me, she definitely deserves to be in Bored Panda’s list of inspiring people who shredded unwanted pounds, using willpower and hard work.

What do you think ?
She most certainly does deserve to be in "Bored Panda’s list of inspiring people". And I can see why she still weighs in at 144lbs. Just look at those muscular thighs. Its all in sleek muscle weight. She's one beautiful young lady, and serves as an inspiration to one and all. Thumbs Up!

Depending on her height, 144 is very slim. "Why she still weighs 144 lbs." Because she's not sick or emaciated. WTF? Look at a medical height/weight chart and stop with the photoshopped expectations.
She looks just fine, but 144lbs is not 'very slim' unless she's much taller than she looks in the pics. A quick Google search for women's weight lists 120-133lbs as a small build and 130-144 as a medium build. She'd have to be 5'10" for her to just barely fit into the 'very slim' category. So I did look it up.....and you're wrong.
I honestly thought this was click bait... but what'ya know? This ended up to be inspiring/motivational!
so she's just sleeping 6 hours a day? couldn't do that. i need my 8 hours
Probably more like five if she's just getting off work at 11. If this is five days a week, it's not a heathy schedule.
Bingo, which is why those numbers are BS. No chance she's working out that much when the time between being at work and waking up the next day is 6hrs.
Ditto. I have a family . She's fortunate to be able to do this. Most people don't have the luxury.
