At 16, Josie Desgrand struggled with weight issues and bullying, feeling trapped in a cycle of failed diets. After a moment of reflection, she vowed to become “No longer fat Josie.”
She started with small fitness goals, a low-carb diet, and increased water intake, supported by her father, Mark, which fueled their mutual motivation. On Instagram as @nolongerfatjosie, Josie shared her journey, gaining a global following that encouraged her.
As she dropped from 127kg to 63kg, Josie found new happiness and stunned everyone at 18 by fitting into a form-fitting dress that highlighted her transformation. Inspired by her experience, she plans to write a book to help others regain confidence.
Josie’s story exemplifies the power of setting goals, finding support, and committing to personal growth.
