Desiree Hunt has come a long way in the past few years.  At 25 years old, she was 275 lbs and wore size 22 jeans. After an incredible weight loss journey, she's now a size 6 and looking better than ever.

On Instagram and at the gym, she's inspiring others to undergo their own transformations. If anything, she's proven that such amazing results are impossible without perseverance and hard work. In fact, she was able to achieve it all with no special diet, no program, no pills, no special foods, and no trainer.

A strict diet and regular exercise both played a role in Desiree's weight loss journey. The change started with practicing self-discipline and educating herself about nutrition (starting with paying careful attention to food labels and portion sizes). In an interview with Pop Sugar, she revealed her clever secret: stick to the outside aisles of the grocery store because that's usually where they keep the fresh ingredients!

Apart from the positive impact the weight loss has had on her health, Desiree told her followers that it's also helped her become more confident and a better mother. Now she can play with her kids and live life to the fullest!
