A Wisconsin woman says a simple hashtag from Houston Texans star J.J. Watt inspired her to lose 150 pounds.
Before her life-changing decision, Beth Callow struggled with a serious weight problem as well as severe episodes of pancreatitis. Callow said it was difficult for her to leave home because she was in so much pain and all she could do sometimes was lie on the floor.
Callow said that all changed when she heard Watt's motto: #DreamBigWorkHard. Callow felt that the NFL star and Wisconsin native worked hard and didn't give up, so why shouldn't she?
Callow began to make lifestyle changes to improve her health. She also admitted to talking in her head to Watt as if he was there with her. Callow said Watt proved to be more of an inspiration when he worked harder to return to the NFL after suffering a back injury.
Callow eventually lost 150 pounds and recently rode an airplane for the first time in 30 years. She's participating in 5K races and frequenting Lambeau Field to watch Green Bay Packers games.
