A mother-of-three from Arkansas who lost 130lbs has documented her body transformation on TikTok, celebrating her loose skin before eventually undergoing a tummy tuck. Courtney Kleinebreil, known as @courtney_andcrew, has 500,000 followers and frequently shares her lifestyle as a mother.
In a January clip, Courtney showed off the loose skin on her stomach, calling it 'wiggly, strong, and magical'. She said she would 'continue to appreciate and not hide it'. However, a more recent video reveals she has had a tummy tuck to remove the excess skin, and she is now 'so happy with her body post-tummy tuck'.
Courtney explained she was never ashamed of her body, saying: 'I'll never ever be ashamed of this body with a stomach full of loose skin'. She added that she 'worked so hard for it', referencing a picture of herself at a heavier weight.
In a separate story, London mother Rachael Sacerdoti lost 30kg in six months after giving birth. The 44-year-old weighed 90kg nine months after her youngest daughter was born. She started with 10-minute walks, 20-minute weight workouts at home, and slowly altered her diet, losing 1kg per week.
Rachael said she 'lost herself' after gaining weight and becoming a mother in her early 30s, confessing she 'didn't know who she was' before her fitness journey. She struggled with food habits, living on carbs and sugar, and lacked routine.
