Shurn also posted a video compilation of her first 100 days at the gym, which has gone viral and gained her some high-profile fans. Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels posted on her Facebook: “I've never met this woman, but watched her video blog. What a bad a**. Bravo. Get it girl!”

In her video, which has been viewed more than 460,000 times on YouTube, Shern starts off at 348 pounds.

“I have low self-esteem. I am going through depression, and I want to change all of that,” Shern states in the video. “The next 100 days, I will be on the journey of losing weight and finding myself.”

Through a montage of gym workouts, she drops from a size 26 to a size 22, all while keeping a positive attitude. Shern said she lost 18 pounds over the 100-day period.

The video closes with Shern saying, “I have to learn a lot of things, and there’s still more to go. And I’m super excited to do it, and I hope you join me along the way.”
