We’ve all seen before-and-after weight-loss pictures — and while some are very impressive, few hit home quite as hard as this video.

A woman who lost 124 pounds in a year has documented her dramatic change using a time-lapse video, and the result is astounding.

Justine McCabe, who was 300 pounds at her heaviest, wrote on her Tumblr that she turned to food as a coping mechanism after her husband took his own life last year.

But when she realized the effect that her weight gain was having on her mental health, she decided to hit the gym and eat more healthily — losing an entire 124 pounds.

She posted the video alongside this motivational message: “The person you see reflecting in the mirror… [sic] will provide you with the biggest challenges in life.

“The human spirit is powerful. Do the work. Suffer the setbacks, push past the pain and excuses. True motivation is not an outside source. It’s staring directly back at you.”
