The 27-year-old, who’s 5ft3, wore size 18 clothes and says she’d have a ‘30 minute breakdown’ before getting dressed. 

The stay-at-home mum, from Louisiana, had been overweight for most of her life and would steal her brother’s shirts as a child, but decided enough was enough. 

She told : “We had to special order my cheerleading uniforms because I was a size 10 at age six.”

With a newborn to look after, Georgia decided to start off easy and made one small change - walking.

She strapped her baby into a sling and walked just a mile a day, gradually increasing the distance.

Georgia said: "I wore my newborn and walked about a mile at first and then I graduated to two miles.

“Take one step at a time. That’s all you have to do.”

As her fitness and confidence grew, the number on the scales decreased as the pounds began to drop off. 

Buoyed by her success, Georgia began researching fitness workouts on Instagram.

In just over a year she’s managed to lose seven stone - and now weighs a trim nine stone. 

Georgia shares inspirational snaps of her weight loss journey on , as she encourages others to keep going.

Now Georgia hits the gym six times a week, doing 20 minutes of cardio and 40 minutes of strength training. 

And she’s overhauled her diet, after previously eating six waffles for breakfast. 

Sharing a trio of photos documenting her weight loss, she said: “I’m not naturally athletic and I’ve worked my ass off to make my body a machine that would make me one.

"I worked for these skills and I put my pride into them.
