There are many weight loss stories out there that are truly amazing, but this one is also really special. For 322-pound Torrie Creamer, it all started with a coupon to a fitness boot camp for women. But there's a lot more to this inspiring weight loss story than just that, including the kindness of strangers and how one good deed can make a gigantic difference in someone's life.

Creamer had struggled with her weight ever since she had her first child and was unable to loss the pounds she'd gained while pregnant. After three kids and 10 years of marriage, she found herself at 322 pounds.
One day, one of her children asked her why she was so fat and Creamer used the excuse of having had three kids to explain her obesity to her son. But he wasn't convinced and promptly told her, "You don't have any babies inside you now so why are you still fat?" For some reason, that was a turning point in Creamer's life as she asked herself the same question, "Why am I fat?"
And then she saw a coupon from Living Social advertising four weeks of boot camp for women for $25, so she decided to give it a try. It wasn't the first time she joined a fitness program or tried to lose weight by dieting. But something must have been different this time around because despite the grueling routines and the constant feeling of dying she felt after each arduous workout, Creamer stuck to it.
She went everyday for those four weeks and lost 15 pounds. She kept to herself in the back of the class and did her thing. At the end of the four weeks, she knew she wanted to continue going, but then she found out she'd been laid-off from her job. It was almost as if the world was against her. Creamer left a message for her trainer telling him she wouldn't be able to go back never imagining what would happen next.
A woman from her class called her back later on that day and told her they'd heard what had happened to her and they had decided to band together and pay for her to continue going to boot camp because they'd never seen someone so committed. Creamer was floored because she barely knew them and yet they were willing to do this amazing thing for her. Needless to say, she took them up on the offer and today she weighs 145 pounds less and looks and feels fantastic.
As I said before, it's inspiring how one act of kindness can be so life-changing!
