An Auckland woman who posted photos of her epic weight loss on Instagram has hit back at people accusing her of being a fake. 

Stylist Simone Anderson Pretscherer posted a before and after comparison photo on Instagram last week, showing the results of jher 86kg weightloss - dropping from 169kg to 83.85kg in a little less than a year, according to The Huffington Post.

 

She captioned the photo: "Week 49 Update: From 169kg to 82.8kg, I have now hit my goal weight which was 84.5kg! Such an awesome feeling, total weight loss is now 86.2kg. I have lost 69cm around my hips from 170cm to 101cm and gone from a NZ size 28/30 to a size 12/14. My goal now is to try and tone up as much as possible while continuing to work on my fitness!"

A lot of people thought the dramatic weight loss was unrealistic and called her out saying she had had surgery to achieve such results.

After so many accusations of being a fake and a liar she decided to post another comparison only this time she showed the loose skin that comes as a result of the weight that she has lost.

She captioned the photo: "I don't no why but every single comment that called me out for being fake and a liar really bothered me far more than it should. I think it's because it took hours of crying and debating whether to share my story online and for others to see, posting the first picture online along with my weight for the world to see what the hardest thing I have ever done. Throughout my whole journey I have tried to be so honest about the whole experience and tell people it exactly as it's happened so to be called a fake hurt a lot. And then when it came to posting about my lose skin well that was equally as tough. So here we go I hope this helps all the "non believers" - my face uncovered, yes my hair and eyebrows are a different colour as I'm going back to blonde, yes I have changed my phone from Samsung to apple and have moved house so the background has changed (it has been 11 months people, things change!), my skin colour varies in every single post as I get a spray tan once a week on a Thursday and often change the depth of the colour I get depending on what event I have that weekend, yes I have lose skin and stretch marks but I don't feel the need to show them in every single photo I post online, I have shared my excess skin picture before so if you had bothered to click on my page you would have seen it and as for my ears changing in appearance?! Well I can't see that haha so who the hell knows!!! Maybe weight changes ears lol. Hope this helps :D now lost 85.7 GO ME!"

Simone told Bustle website that she wants to surgically remove the extra skin when she can afford it, she has set up a Givealittle account that people can donatr and support her efforts to live a healthier life.
