Welsh contestant Erika was so saddened by comments about her weight that she went on a fitness mission and after losing half her bodyweight she had the last laugh over the trolls
A Tipping Point contestant who was cruelly fat-shamed by viewers underwent a total body transformation, losing half her bodyweight.
Cruel trolls sent Erika, from Swansea, Wales, messages after she appeared on the ITV show earlier this year. But she decided to use their terrible words to inspire her and the results speak for themselves.
She may not have done too well on the programme, but she has since come into her own. After being sent home following the first round, she decided the time was right to find a fitness programme and she hasn’t looked back. Erika, a patient’s adviser, says the unkind comments spurred her on and she was flooded with compliments.
Taking to Instagram, she told her friends and family about why she did it. Alongside the picture of her new physique, she explained: “So after seeing myself on #tippingpoint and being fat-shamed on here I changed my life and lost almost half my body weight! Thanks everyone for the motivation!”
