An overweight woman lost 70 pounds, dropping from 13st 4lbs down to 8st in 14 weeks after some strangers called her fat.

The 22-year-old Kim Bowman from Wirral, Merseysid, who now competes as a size 6 bikini model, said that she was really athletic when she was younger and the excess weight was a result of binge eating which began during college, the Daily Star reported.

Bowman, who now regularly shows off her washboard abs and 64 cm waist on stage, added that though knew she needed to put a stop on her eating, "every time she looked in the mirror she felt sick, and would end up turning to food for comfort."

 

It was when some total strangers in the street called her fat that she realized it was high time she did something about it, and started following the LDN Muscle Bikini plan referred by a friend, which she downloaded for 39.99 pounds.

The 14 week diet and training plan details precisely what to eat, when and how much with full macro breakdowns that are specific to body weight and body type.

Bowman trained 7 times a week and replaced junk food for healthy meals, and finally was able to enlist with the help of bikini model coach Lynsey Beattie and was placed top five in her first competition.
