An overweight 23-year-old was finally motivated to lose weight after a very humiliating experience at a theme park. Nicole Whitehead who weighed around 252 pounds had to have not one, not two, but three people help her into a rollercoaster seat. She was so mortified by the whole thing that she decided to finally lose some weight. She managed to go from a size 24 to a size 10 and her new bod is AMAZING!

The humiliating themed park experience changed Nicole's life forever. "It was very embarrassing because it was a very busy time and I was quite young. I felt mortified to have three people trying to get me in. All the people around me on the ride also looked very embarrassed for me," she said. In fact, she was so embarrassed she refused to go on any more rides after that.
But it wasn't just about not fitting into roller coasters or chairs, Nicole's health was also getting seriously affected. Her weight had become such an issue it was restricting her breathing, giving her panic attacks, and of course putting a damper on her self-esteem.
"I had no confidence at all. I used to get very stressed when shopping for clothes. I would just feel awful and I was not living the life of somebody my age," she said.
So how did this woman manage to drop down to a size 10? She did it all from taking up swimming classes, working out, and finally giving up those bad eating habits. And it all paid off because now she weighs around 156 pounds. That's 7 dress sizes down and close to 100 pounds less than she originally was weighing. If that's not impressive I don't know what is.
"I feel loads better about myself and I've got my confidence back. I can go out with my friends and have a good time, feeling comfortable," she added. That goes to show that with hard work and determination anyone can lose weight. I'm so inspired and have absolutely no excuse for not hitting up the gym this year!
