‘Not you’: Woman shares proof 365-day transformation is real

A woman “unrecognisable” after transforming her body in a year has shared evidence after many claimed they were “sceptical” of her results.

A US woman whose 365-day transformation is so incredible it has left some strangers “sceptical” has defended her remarkable achievement.

Bre Foster showed off the efforts of a year where she prioritised her health with a jaw-dropping before and after video.

It quickly blew up, amassing over eight million views since it was shared at the end of 2022 – but some claimed there was no way it could be the same person, noting the “after” clip had a filter on it.

The speculation has since prompted Bre to share the original video, stating she only applied the filter to cover her “splotchy” fake tan.

“Yes same person! But here’s an unedited video with no filter for the sake of complete transparency,” she stated.

“As you can see my self tanner is super splotchy per why I used the filter in the first place.”

Bre’s original video showed her posing at the “beginning of 2022” wearing a grey crop and bike shorts.

It then showed her “at the end” of the year looking remarkably different, wearing a pair of figure-hugging brown leggings and a matching top.

“Reminder that if you start now, your future self will thank you, also your worth is not determined on how you look,” Bre captioned the 10-second clip.

“But you will feel a hell of a lot better when you focus on your health and prioritise yourself. “You’re worth it. Lastly, don’t do it for anyone but you, because at the end of the day it’s just you vs. you. So make it personal, because it is.”

Her video blew up, amassing thousands of comments that have since been hidden because so many cast doubt over Bre’s success.

“Definitely not you,” one wrote, before being taken down.

“Seriously struggling to believe this,” another said.

But in her follow-up video, shared without a filter, viewers are still able to leave messages – with many writing they “can’t believe” others are casting doubt.

“Very inspiring and you should be proud of you, keep up the great work,” one said.

“Spectacular, congratulations. All work has its reward,” another wrote.

As one added: “You look awesome. I can’t believe someone really was sceptical of the transformation.”

Bre has also shared a string of videos on her TikTok account that show her fiercely working out in response to critics comments.

“Great surgeon,” one nasty comment said, which Bre shared with a video over the top of her slogging it out.

The fitness lover also shares inspiring videos for her 70,000 followers showing “game-changing” gym tips.

In one video she recommends users try bicep curls on their knees, while in another she wrote: “We aren’t skipping abs in 2023.”
