Austin Shifflett from Virginia weighed 23 stone (147kg) when he was at his largest. Throughout his whole life he was dubbed 'Fat Boy' and had lost all of his self worth after taunts from bullies were day in and day out.
One day in his teens when he was at his heaviest he decided to to ditch the fast food, cut his carbs and started going to the gym, what resulted was an incredible transformation.
He said "I thought it was just baby weight and it would get better but it didn't, it just got out of control. It affected my education so I had to be held back. I was so behind with my school work and that was when the bullying really started."
Big ups to this lad who lost over half his body weight in 10 months, which not only transformed his look it transformed his health and confidence levels.
