A woman has candidly spoken about her impressive nine-stone weight loss journey, revealing the cruel comments she receives from online trolls regarding her loose skin.

The creator, known as @_lifeafterweightloss_ on the platform, confessed to being "trolled so badly over the last week" due to her loose skin and decided to address some questions about her transformed physique. She views her loose skin as a testament to her "journey, strength and success" in shedding the pounds.

Despite the negativity, she explained that people seem to be "triggered" by the skin around her stomach and face, but she stands firm, proud of dropping from 18st after making significant lifestyle changes for her health.

"What people say is I just need to work on my muscles. I have muscles. What you see is loose skin, and unless I have it removed, it ain't gonna change, and I'm not gonna have it removed. I have three children, and I'm proud of my body. I love my body. It's taken a lot to get to this point of feeling that way about it," she stated defiantly.

While she acknowledged some insecurities about her appearance, particularly her bum, she stressed that everyone has their own body hang-ups, remarking, "It is what it is".

She went on to express her desire to motivate others who might be hesitant to lose weight for fear of loose skin, encouraging them to prioritise their health.

She concluded with a positive note about her own well-being: "I'm the healthiest I've ever been in my life, and I do think the majority of those comments I had were from women, and they must be really unhappy with themselves, so I feel sad for them."

In response to her video, followers flooded the comments section with words of encouragement after she confessed that the harsh remarks were "a bit much".

One admirer enthused: "With a nine-stone loss, you have an incredibly minimal amount of loose skin!! You look amazing; they're idiots".

Another person who had experienced a similar journey advised: "Embrace yourself. Your body is amazing. You have had children. You are a complete goddess. I'm 57 and have lost eight stone. Some days, I cry about my tummy. Some days, I'm able to remember I was 22 stone".

A TikToker chimed in: "Your skin on your stomach isn't changing no matter what exercise you do. People need to mind their business; you look amazing."
