I've Lost Half My Body Weight In A Year | BRAND NEW ME

23-YEAR-OLD Dana Nicole Oswald from Ontario, Canada has lost half of her body weight within a year - losing an incredible 125lbs. Dana says she’s always struggled with her size, but it was during university that Dana gained most of the excess weight. She told Truly: “Food was an addiction to me back then, I was eating 3,500 to 4,000 calories a day.” Dana’s food habits were starting to have an impact on her body, weighing in at 265lbs at her heaviest, she often felt tired and struggled with stomach issues. But it wasn’t until a doctor told her that the excess weight was causing Dana to have high blood pressure, that she realised something had to change. Completely reconstructing her eating and exercise habits, she soon started shedding the extra pounds. Dana shared her journey online, posting updates and tips on her instagram page: “When I started with my weight loss journey on social media, I was posting to share with my friends, but then it became a really good way to help out others.” When asked how the transformation affected her life, Dana wants to make clear that it’s not just about the physical changes she’s undergone, for her the mental aspects are just as important: “The greatest part about the transformation is all mental, my mindset is so different, I’m so much more positive, less anxious and much happier.” Social:
