'Iron Giantess' Shreds 100lbs In Just One Year | BRAND NEW ME

At her heaviest Laura Micetich - AKA “The Iron Giantess” - weighed 320lbs. Laura’s weight spiralled out of control due to her unhealthy relationship with food, including binging on doughnuts for breakfast. She said: “I would shovel as much into my mouth as possible to where I imagined I didn’t want to eat anything ever again. Everyone in my life thought I was the most confident person ever, but inside I was crumbling.” Laura looked into getting a gastric sleeve procedure, which required her to lose some weight beforehand. But after mastering a home YouTube workout, she joined the college gym and fell in love with bodybuilding, losing over 100lbs in a year naturally. She said: “I thought the gym was going to be intimidating but I learned I was really freaking strong.” Laura did six weightlifting sessions a week and then two or three cardio sessions, deciding to move into the industry herself. She said: “I was teaching middle school English but I realised that my voice was more impactful in the fitness space - it just clicked.” Laura now weighs 180lbs and as one of LA’s top fitness coaches with a number of high-profile clients, she has embraced her hated childhood nickname - the Iron Giantess: “I got the name because when I was a kid I was very tall and very big and I felt like I took up too much space. I think that it’s really easy to look back and gloss over things and make it seem like it was really easy. I would say I’m really proud of myself and the girl that tried at the beginning.”
