It was a family tragedy that made Los Angeles mum Justine McCabe start piling on the weight.
In 2015, her husband took his own life, and Justine began emotionally eating as a way to cope with the devastating loss.
But then she had a "turning point", when she finally realised
she needed to make more out of her life.
So the determined mum, who weighed over 139 kilos at her heaviest, set about making a change.
She documented her journey on Instagram, and has recently posted a time lapse video that shows what is really like to lose over 57 kilograms.
