In July of that year, Winter took to Instagram to reveal that she had lost 50 pounds.
“The photo on the left was taken a few years ago. I was about 330 pounds back then,” Winter captioned a before and after photo of herself. “That was the heaviest she had ever weighed. So many unfortunate situations surrounded me and my attention was directed outwards. During that time, my health was definitely not a priority.”
The Georgia native said her “body was crying out for help” but she didn’t know how to start her weight loss journey. She ended up setting a fitness goal and it changed her perspective on weight loss and before she knew it, the extra pounds on her were melting away.
“In 2020, I completely changed my focal point. Instead of focusing on what I want, I tried to focus more on WHO I AM,” she added. “It was not an easy path, but I made it. It’s just down here!
