After struggling to find the perfect wedding dress, a woman was motivated to change her body. She lost 110 pounds and now shows off her incredible transformation.
Meredith Hutson was 26 years old and from Texas. She tried on wedding gowns after her engagement, but they weren’t fitting her due to her obesity.
After weighing in at 256lbs, the hairdresser decided to lose weight. With less than a year before her wedding to Steven Hutson (25) she now weighs just 145lbs.
She used to eat donuts for breakfast before settling on fast food. But now, her diet is high in lean protein.
Meredith was 49lbs lighter and fitting into her wedding dress by her November 2020 wedding. However, she did not stop there. Meredith went on to shed 56lbs, and she dropped eight sizes.

Meredith Hutson (26 years old) was devastated to begin shopping for the dress she wanted for her marriage to Steven. She found that no one fit her so she set out to lose 98 pounds.
Notice the difference? Meredith had already lost 50 lbs by the day she married. But, she went on with her fitness journey and dropped another 60 lbs since then.
Meredith, now working as a trainer in fitness, went from wearing a size 22 dress to six within two years.
Meredith stated that she was always overweight. No matter how many fad diets I tried, I lost some weight and gained it back over time.
“When I turned 24, I faced serious health problems and was worried about my future. My weight was so high that I had headaches, rashes and nausea every day. Doctors could not find any other problem than a thyroid condition.
“One day, my health reached a low point due to my weight. I decided that I needed to lose weight.
Meredith realized that her obesity was a major factor in her health issues and decided to work on her future.
This fitness enthusiast went from being a 256-pounder to 145 lbs in two years. Now, he is helping other people do the same.

“After I got engaged, my weight loss motivated me because I struggled to fit in clothes or do the zip-up at many stores when I went dress shopping.
“It was discouraging. But, by my wedding, I felt beautiful. Even though I wasn’t at my goal weight for the day, I was proud of all that I had achieved.”
“My husband supported me on this journey so greatly and has always encouraged me stay on the right track.”

Meredith has lost more weight than her goal weight and is now focusing on muscle building.
She said, “In little more than two years I lost all my weight and gained muscle mass. All it took was counting my macros to eat in the proper calorie deficit with weight training six times a week.

“My sizes changed drastically; I went to a 3XL and a small in clothing, while my bra size increased from DDD to B.
“I began posting on social media after I lost weight. The support that I received from other people was incredible so I continued pushing and sharing more.
“I started to give advice and found that I had a passion for helping people.
“My husband is a cook and he cooks daily for us. When I started my journey, he had to work away so he could spend time teaching me about nutrition. This allowed me to make the best food for myself while he was gone.
“I’m still working on transforming my body, and I’m currently experiencing a calorie shortage.”
“Although my goal is way beyond my reach, I plan to maintain a deficit to focus on certain areas that are stubborn and in the next few months do a slight bulk to gain only muscle mass.
