Posing happily for a selfie in a blue crop top and leggings, Simone Anderson oozes body confidence. But rewind to Aug. 29, 2014, and an earlier selfie tells a different story. Having struggled with her weight her entire life, the 25-year-old make-up artist from Auckland, N.Z., had decided that after tipping the scales at 375 pounds, it was time to kiss the quick-fix diets goodbye and overhaul her entire health and fitness regime.
The selfie she shared as she made the life-changing decision to transform her body was to be the first of many documenting her fitness journey. After shedding an astonishing 200 pounds, she wants to inspire others with her incredible transformation.

“I had no pressing health issues, but it was getting harder and harder to do day-to-day things,” she told news.com.au of the decision to kick-start her weight loss. 
“Even bringing in the garbage can up our very steep driveway was difficult, and that’s when it hit me that something needed to change.”
On Oct. 29, 2014, Simone underwent gastric-sleeve surgery and in less than 12 months had managed to lose an amazing 202 pounds while documenting the entire journey on Instagram.

Since starting the account, Simone has gathered more than 136,000 followers with whom she regularly shares inspiring words of encouragement, alongside health and fitness tips and advice.
But though most of her followers have been supportive of her amazing transformation, some accused Simone of “faking” her weight loss, claiming that a lack of excess skin in her early pictures was proof it wasn’t “real.”
“The depth and the level they [the haters] go to — it’s mind-blowing,” she told Daily Mail Australia.
“I wouldn’t even think to write that to my worst enemy,” she said.

Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name

Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name Washington DC might become a state, and get a new name As the capital of the United States, Washington DC is not  one of the 50 states. It’s a “federal district,” hence “District of Columbia,” shortened to “D.C.” But that could soon change, as they are currently bidding for statehood . If that happened, Washington DC would become the 51st state, and its leaders would give it an entirely new name. That name could quite likely be “New Columbia,” an old name that was approved by voters in a 1982 referendum in which Washington DC tried for statehood. It originates from Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, who is obviously a critical part of U.S. history. Washington, D.C. could have been renamed "Anacostia," but advocates for statehood chose "New Columbia." 󾓬󾓦󾓬󾓦󾓬󾓦… Posted by International B...

How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Hair?

How Long Can You Go Without Washing Your Hair? [Photo: Pexels] How often do you wash your hair? Once a day, every other day or as little as once a week? However often you might think your hair needs a good rinse, it’s probably not as much as you would expect.  We’ve all heard that whipping out the shampoo too often can make hair oily over time - but, of course, grease can also build up when locks aren’t washed regularly enough.  Most experts agree that we don’t need to be over zealous when it comes to washing our locks. So, what’s the right routine? “All hair is different but a general rule is not to over wash,” explains Lorraine Rose, founder of D&L Hair Products. “We tend to wash our hair for two reasons: Grease and smell. However, when hair is ‘never washed’ the smell does vanish after a period of time and the natural oils in the hair and scalp self-clean the hair.” And it’s a tried and tested theory. In 2012, blogger Lucy Aitke...

Ryan Gosling Repeatedly Storms Out of ‘Late Show’ Interview

Ryan Gosling Repeatedly Storms Out of ‘Late Show’ Interview Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to promote their new movie, The Nice Guys . In what was clearly a planned bit, Ryan claimed that his agent told him that Russell refused to do the movie unless Ryan would do it with him. Russell acted surprised by this information and then said he didn’t really need Ryan for the movie or the interview. The next few minutes of Gosling storming out — repeatedly — will go down as one of the most epic exits of all time! Gosling started by saying bye to everyone while tearing a piece of paper on Colbert’s desk, throwing a pen on the ground, grabbing a book off the shelf and placing it on the ground, and then finally exiting out the door. The former Sexiest Man Alive then walked behind the set and out another exit before reappearing with the band as he banged on a cowbell. Ryan continued “leaving” until Colbert handed a T-shirt gun to C...
