Meet the creator Hi, I am Josephine Desgrand! I am 20 years old. @nolongerfatjosie
Three years ago I lost 62kgs in 11 months by changing my diet and becoming more active. I decided to share my story with the world in hopes to inspire and help other people overcome their own obstacles. I have created this 6 week plan as an easier guide to follow in order to reach healthy lifestyle goals.

MY STORY My life has changed so much. I was always such a shy person. Not even my teachers could get a word out of me. I was so afraid of what people thought of me, I didn’t want to embarrass myself. I felt like the whole world was watching me and laughing. It was such a horrid feeling. In year 9 (2014) I spent most of my spare time inside gaming, some days I would tell my mum I didn’t want to go to school, I was lazy and unmotivated. I began to gain weight a lot quicker and became more and more self conscious. I could see the way people looked at me it was like they were disgusted with the way I looked but I tried to ignore it. Moving to Hervey Bay, Queensland was one of the greatest things to happen to me. I was so terrified to start at a new school where I didn’t know anybody. I begged my mum to let me skip the first term so I could work on my fitness/appearance. I started to eat healthy but I wasn’t very educated on food, I’d have things like smoothies and low fat yoghurt which contain a lot of sugar and by the end of the week I would give up and have pizza. I spent most my nights staying up super late and sleeping most of the day. I ended up gaining weight by the time I had to start school in July. I just had zero motivation to change. I was lazy and loved food. Now not every day was bad but overall I wasn’t happy with my appearance. I just didn’t feel comfortable in my own body. One day I decided I wanted to start fresh. I discovered Joe Wicks - The Body Coach and read multiple articles on food to find out what was good and what was bad. I was pretty shocked to find out a lot of the foods I thought were healthy weren’t really. Now that I was more educated on food I decided to begin my weight loss journey. This time I was a lot more serious. On October 6th, 2016 I weighed in at 127kgs. This was my heaviest weight. I took before shots in my bra and undies on my phone and cropped them so no one would go on my phone and see them. In 11 months I had lost 62kgs.
MY STORY I met my soulmate in 2018, Nicholas Dower. He is incredibly proud of me and loves me for me. I am so grateful that he came into my life. We had a beautiful baby boy together in November 2019. We called him Charlie and he is the most gorgeous little boy ever. He is so loving. Nick and I are happily engaged. I love my life, I am so happy and feel so lucky to have my boys. When I was heavily pregnant with Charlie I weighed in at 92kgs. I am now close to 9 months postpartum and back to 65kgs. I started an Instagram account called @nolongerfatjosie back in 2017 which has reached a following of over 145,000 people and I receive messages daily from people all over the world, even in different languages asking about how I achieved my weight loss goal and asking for help, Its incredible how many people have reached out. The purpose of my Instagram was to share my story to help motivate, inspire and empower others. I want to be able to change peoples lives. My story has already impacted so many peoples lives and I want to continue to spread my story worldwide, further helping to assist people who need it and sharing my thoughts and my emotions through out my journey, being real and raw. My lifestyle has changed forever, i am now so confident and happy in my body and I can now pass on my healthy habits to my children.
