Like so many people, Meghan's weight yo-yoed on multiple occasions. She'd lose 100 pounds, only to gain it back because she never got down to the root of her emotional issues.
As she grew into an adult, Meghan's mobility decreased, and her painful arthritis symptoms worsened. The simple act of getting out of bed became impossible. Even putting on her shoes was difficult.
Meghan hit her lowest when she realized she had stopped enjoying her life — but she was now a mother and knew she had to keep surviving for the sake of her daughter.
In 2017, Meghan was at her heaviest weight of 420 pounds. One day, after an uncomfortable train ride with her family where she couldn't fit into the seat, she decided to make some permanent changes.
She started small, with one little change at a time. "I made a promise to myself when I started that I was going to do 10 minutes of physical activity every day no matter what," she told Barcroft TV.
In the video below, Meghan discusses the physical and mental journey that led to her success and left her friends and family stunned.
