Obesity is something that 26-year-old Amber Rachdi has always struggled with, but after reaching a weight of 657 pounds, she knew that she had to make a drastic change if she wanted to see her 30th birthday.
With her weight leaving her housebound and unemployed for years, Rachdi came to the realization that she wasn’t living, she was subsisting. She enlisted the help of Dr. Younan Nowzaradan to help her regain her health and lost an astonishing 400 pounds.
Now, Rachdi’s incredible transformation has given her a newfound sense of confidence and purpose. She has become a source of inspiration for many others struggling with their weight and hopes that her journey will help motivate others to pursue a healthy lifestyle.
Amber Rachdi began suffering from obesity when she was just five years old. She claims that throughout her entire life, she’s always felt hungry and despite eating, would never feel the sensation of being full. “I could be stuffed sick but I would still want to eat something if it was put in front of me,” Rachdi admits.
Rachdi got to the point where she was putting her life in danger. She was living with her parents and boyfriend in Troutdale, Oregon who did nothing but enable her eating habits. However, she began to reach her wits end once she weighed in at almost 660 pounds.
Her independence began to quickly diminish along with her self-confidence. Rachdi couldn’t work, drive, or take care of herself. Even walking more than a few feet proved to be next to impossible for Amber. The only time she would leave the house was with her boyfriend to get more food where she would use a mobility scooter.
“I’m so humiliated,” Amber said about her weight. “I hate being in public. I feel like a sideshow.” However, her attempts to change the way she eats only resulted in failure, which led her to seek help from a medical professional.
Probably THE most famous bodybuilder of all time is Arnold Schwarzenegger. Nicknamed the ‘Austrian Oak’ for his oak barrel of a chest, Arnold was not merely a bodybuilder. He is also an actor, producer, businessman, philanthropist, author and politician just to name a few of his side jobs.
With 7 Mr.Olympia titles under his belt, he currently hosts the second biggest bodybuilding competition in the world, the Arnold Classic. Pros from all over the world enter into his competition just to have him take a peek at them and get an objective critique.
Controversially, he lambasted a host of current professional bodybuilders who were seen on stage with big distended guts and bloated bellies. He called for a return to the Golden Era where men with flat stomachs, striated chests, and ripped abs were considered champions.
He currently hosts The Apprentice, and is regularly seen with his longtime workout partner, Franco Columbu and occasionally visits other bodybuilding shows that his name is not affiliated with.

honbag posted progress pictures of his weight loss journey. He wrote, “I used to weigh in at 275 pounds. I lost 92 pounds! I continuously work on my body and I am growing muscle. I had to structure my diet and I am not much happier, and much healthier.”
hexgar posted a few before and after pictures and wrote, “15-month Pokemon Go diet.” Who said video games are bad for you?! This guy had some fun and lost a lot of weight in the process. Now that’s what I call excellent multitasking. Good on you pal!
Dollypartonbarbiedoll posted a before and after picture of herself and wrote, “It took four years (100 lbs the first year, 75lb in three) and lots of hard work. Simplifying it down, it was a massive dedication to portion control, cutting out processed foods, and calisthenics (squat PR 315 yo!). Meal prepping makes it easier, and finding a good workout playlist can push you farther than you’d think.”
brookecapulet posted progress pictures of herself and wrote, “I started in March 2017 by cutting out fast food, soda, alcohol, and carbs. I called it the “no” diet because it was no fun. (Haha). Since then I’ve gotten a little less strict, but I meal prep every Sunday and eat protein and veggies for breakfast and lunch every day, and then whatever it is my husband and kids want for dinner. I don’t exercise hardcore (just walks on lunch, chasing babies, and nightly dance parties) so I’ve tried to create a lifestyle that, for me, is sustainable.”
a before and after picture of herself and wrote, “Before and after from June 2016 to Halloween this year. Over 65+ pounds lost.”
When asked about her weight loss strategy, she wrote, “I ate primarily plant-based because of allergies/intolerances (also for ethical desires), drank a bunch more water, and steadily kept a constant workout routine for the most part of this and the past year. I had a bunch of disheartening plateaus but luckily powered through as opposed to giving up for the nth time.”
