This is the incredible transformation of a super slimmer who lost 140 pounds to become a gym manager after a man told her "youd be pretty if you werent so fat."

Claire Murray, 35, piled on the pounds thanks to a diet of sausage rolls and fries, but even cruel comments didn't convince her to ditch the junk. It wasn't until she struggled to fit her nearly 280-pound frame into a plane seat on a girls trip to Turkey that she vowed to change.

She hit the gym as soon as she got home, and running and spinning helped her shed more than 70 pounds. But she was left with heavy skin around her tummy and her weight loss was boosted when she had a pound of flesh cut off.

Inspired, Murray got a job running a gym, losing 28 more pounds. Now she boasts huge muscles and can deadlift a staggering 280 pounds.

"I was bingeing on savory and fatty foods. One man even said 'you would look so pretty if weren't fat,'" said Murray, of Glasgow, Scotland. "It was at that moment that I thought to myself that I needed to change my habits and I desperately needed the urge to join the gym."

"I never thought I weighed that much and completely ignored it until I went on holiday. I boarded the plane on holiday in June 2015 to turkey with two of my friends but to my horror I couldn't barely squeeze my bum into the plane seat, she remembers. "It was at that moment that I thought to myself that I needed to change my habits and I desperately needed the urge to join the gym. I absolutely love my body now and I now inspire others to help them shed the pounds.

She admits she felt so insecure about her body she struggled to walk through the gym doors but started going five times a week.

"This is the hardest thing I ever done in my life, but I don't regret a minute of it, the fitness junkie added.

Murray was working as a store manager when she struggled to fit into her plane seat in June 2015.

She admits she felt so insecure about her body she struggled to walk through the gym doors but started going five times a week.

"After six months, I even went running at 4:30 in the morning for over six miles which was extremely difficult, then straight for a second run after work about 6 p.m.," she said.

Ten months into it, Murray had lost 70 pounds.

"This was followed straight after by a one-hour spin class. The working out got to point where some of my friends decided to distance themselves from me because of my dedication to the program, Murray said.

"I couldn't believe it, I was shedding all of this weight and my body shape began to change drastically," Murray said. "I felt like I was on winning weight streak and the exercise was having a big impact."

Murray finally landed her dream job in June 2017 as a general manager of Anytime Fitness in Glasgow.

"It was a hard process but showing off my physique and how I embraced my body managed to help me secure my dream job, she said.

"My secret is a healthy balanced diet, [starting with] a clean protein source such as chicken and steak, Murray said of her healthy new life. "If you have the confidence to achieve something like this, then you should certainly go for it."

Literally looks like a different person.

If she murdered someone when she was fat and then went on the run, no one would ever find her.

What's your excuse now CE?

I'm not giving credit to some asshole who made her feel bad. Most good things come in response to bad things. That doesn't mean we need credit people who bring misery into the world for how people respond to their asinine behavior.

I will give him credit for that. The reason its in the article is because she remembered the comment, it hurt her and it stuck.

Some of the best most important words ever spoken to me in my life were mean and harsh, but they were true.

Kindness is truly overrated, it is most often a good thing, but it isn't everything.

Seriously! There are some things worth feeling shame over. People are stupid for acting like it has no place in the world.

Welfare is getting far more out of hand than it ever has. I'm betting a lot of that has to do with people not making fun of others for being on food stamps.

She's 35 and still probably has lots of loose skin and scarring, the chads won't care or will pump and dump.

People should be kind of embarrassed for being fat. Just like Im kind of embarrassed for being skinny when it comes up in a negative light. The world isn't meant to catter to you personally. You can lose weight much easier than everyone in the world can throw out all their seats and replace them. I personally can't gain weight cause of medical reasons but dems da breaks.

Oh and to be more on topic. Good for that chick. Shes a role model to anyone trying to better themselves
