“Always,” Janie replied in the video caption. “Since the beginning of my journey, I’ve kept telling myself, ‘Think of the price. Go on.’ No matter how stupid I looked, no matter how tall I was.

“At the end of the day I was consistent and gradually saw results. For anyone struggling and feeling like nothing is working no matter what you do – that’s it.”

“Give your body time to show you that a change is happening,” she replied.

In another video response, she revealed even more about her fitness journey to a commenter.

“I’m your weight now,” read the comment. “Saved. I know it’s possible. Thanks for posting.”

She showed up lifting weights and eating health-conscious foods like lettuce wraps.

“You get to a point where you just accept the fact that it’s nobody else’s fault. Everyone wants to know how I did it, what I did, and all I can say is that I just showed up.”

“I did not know, what I should do. I had to train myself, I don’t have money for a coach.”

“I changed my daily sleep habits to lift weights and do cardio and replaced the bad foods with healthier alternatives.

“I couldn’t be lazy, I actually had to cook. I was fed up eating my life. I wanted more.”

“I needed more, not only for myself but also for my son. My family. My future,” she said.
