The gripping story of a social media star and powerlifter Erin Killeen is inspirational. Killeen weighed 207 lbs five years ago. What changed was a matter of realization when she finally decided to become the best version of herself. Thus, Killeen redefined norms of bodybuilding as she rediscovered herself at 137 lbs. With a renewed physique, the fitness junkie found a new self that she fell in love with.

Recently, Killeen shared a YouTube short on her official channel where she shared her journey from being overweight to her stronger self. Let’s scroll down to know more about her story.

This woman got her confidence back

Killeen grew up as an athlete playing lacrosse and volleyball. Shortly after she turned 16, she was in college and had to work many jobs. Eventually, her health and fitness took a backseat. Amidst her busy schedule, she had terrible nightmares. Additionally, her toxic relationship led Killen to lose control of herself who staggered in her confidence thereafter. She didn’t care for herself and frequently suffered breakdowns. Killeen was 207 lbs when one day she woke up and decided to turn her life around. This materialized as she joined the gym.

In a recent YouTube short from her channel, the health junkie videotaped her transformation. “Nobody can tell me s**t because this is my before and after”, she captioned the post. She definitely raised a few eyebrows when she lost 70 pounds. The video was a collection of a few “before” pictures she looked quite chubby. As the video progressed, she was seen holding a dumbbell and looked shredded.

Killeen had to flip her lifestyle upside down to celebrate the reflection she gets to view in the mirror. Initially, she came across a few apps that helped her stick to an effective diet and guided her with suitable workouts. After a while, since 2017, Killen started to see noticeable changes in her physique that boosted her confidence for the better. Like Killeen, there are stories of other women that seek to inspire the rest of us every day.
