Meet the beauty influencer who is now a healthy weight-loss inspiration.
Janielle Wright is known on social media for posting style and beauty looks. But these days, the 28-year-old influencer is posting more makeup-free gym selfies than cat eyes. On Sunday, she showed off the progress she’s made on her weight loss journey—she’s dropped 65 pounds since January 1.
“DONE NATURALLY,” she wrote, celebrating her transformation. “Get up and make a change…make it happen!”
Wright tells Health how her journey got started. She made a New Year’s resolution to lose 100 pounds by the end of the year, motivated to get healthier by her 3-year-old daughter, Novah.
“I was 337 pounds and feared that I wouldn’t live long enough for me to see her tie her shoes,” she says. “I wanted to be better for her and I wanted to live for her.”
In a YouTube video where she details her weight-loss story for fans, she also reflected on her “before.”
“That’s the highest weight I’ve ever been,” she said. “I didn’t want to die.”
To reach her goal, Wright went on a low-carb diet consisting of veggies and lean protein, and she currently eats plenty of foods containing healthy fats, like salmon and tuna.
But the secret to her success so far is intermittent fasting, a diet strategy that has people cycling between periods of regular eating and then fasting or severely restricting their caloric intake. While fasting for long periods is never a good idea for weight loss, some research shows that intermittent fasting can help people reach their target weight and reduce disease risk.
Wright started with a 16-hour fasting period and 8-hour eating window, but she also does the 20/4 method, which involves a shorter, 4-hour eating period.
“When I break my fast it’s usually with two or three egg whites with two pieces of bacon and sausage, fruit, spinach salad, baked chicken,” she says, telling Health her favorite foods.
Wright also began using a treadmill, and she now power walks for 45 minutes on a high incline. She follows up her workout with a 25-minute HIIT routine. Since January, she’s worked out every day, Monday through Saturday, and takes Sunday off. She now consistently exercises for 70 minutes every day, six days per week.
In the YouTube video, Wright was asked how she finds time to eat healthy and squeeze in a workout nearly every day. “I make sure that I find the time because it’s something important to me and it’s something I want,” she said. “This is my lifestyle now.”
Wright doesn’t drink alcohol, and she hasn’t taken any dietary supplements. With minimal “cheat meals” and faith in her weight-loss journey, she’s proving to be an inspiration to both her little one and her 30,000-plus followers on Instagram.

“I shot the child by mistake, I thought I was being hijacked.”
This is what a man told the stepmother of his son, Luyanda Themba Tshabalala, who was mistakenly shot on Tuesday night on his school ground, shortly after attending night classes in Ennerdale.
The 50-year-old man accidentally shot his son, thinking he was being hijacked.
Sibongile Tshabalala, 47, said she was getting ready for bed at around 21:00 when she got worried that her husband, who had gone to fetch Luyanda from night classes at Fred Norman Secondary School, had not returned home.
“Earlier, he told his father that there were evening classes and asked him to please take him. So, as he always did, his dad took him to school and then came back home.”
At around 20:00, because Luyanda had said they would be done by 20:00, his father returned to the school to fetch him.
“When he got there, he parked inside the Fred Norman Secondary premises and waited. While he was waiting, he fell asleep because he had returned from working on a construction site, so he was tired. He fell asleep.”
Tshabalala said Luyanda had called his father, while he was asleep in the car.
“My husband said he had found three missed calls from Luyanda. He did not hear the phone.”
Luyanda recognised his father’s vehicle and headed towards the vehicle.

“When he got to the car, he tried to open the door, but his father had locked the car. He couldn’t open the car, so then he began shaking it. When my husband woke up, he saw someone who looked like he was trying to hijack him, so he got a fright and reached for his gun.
“He then fired a shot. During that time, the child was screaming, ‘Dad, it is me Themba.’ But by that time, he had already shot at him.”
“The child then collapsed,” she said.
‘Gogo, I am off to school’
People in the area at the time were shocked, scared into stillness after witnessing the incident.
Luyanda’s father quickly picked his son up and put him in the back seat of the car and tried to drive to the nearest hospital, all while trying to call for an ambulance, but with no luck. After getting lost along the way, he eventually arrived at a healthcare facility and handed his son over.

“He waited outside. They then told him that the boy had left us.”
Tshabalala said, around 21:00, she was getting ready for bed and was wondering where her husband had been.
“When he got home he said, ‘I shot the child by mistake, I thought I was being hijacked.’ Because we live in an area where there are a lot of bad things that happen, we are always scared.
“He said he just opened his eyes and the car was shaking… That is how the child was shot… by mistake.”
She said her husband was used to taking Luyanda to night classes, but he had been exhausted on Tuesday night.
“He came home with clothes with cement. He is still wearing those clothes.”
Describing her husband’s relationship with his son, she said: “They got along very well. He is a father who loves his four children very much.”
Pointing at her several of Luyanda’s trophies decked on the shelf, she said he was a very bright child.
“He was someone who loved his school work, he was very respectful, he was very quiet and was never someone who liked fighting.”
Luyanda’s devastated grandmother Victoria Makhanya said she was very hurt.

“Even when I was coming this morning, I could not help it, I cried alone. I was not even able to pack the clothes to come here. The way this child loved me, when I came to visit, he used to hug me.”
At night, Luyanda would bid the 75-year-old goodnight and when he left to go to school in the morning he would say: “Gogo, I am off to school.”
‘I cannot say what exactly happened’
Gauteng education department spokesperson Steve Mabona said they were shocked and saddened to hear about the incident.
“We are not sure of what transpired, but the police would be in a position to share with us the details of what may have led to the incident and what happened.”
Mabona said the department was supporting the schooling community, as well as the Luyanda’s family.
“We have offered assistance and support, as we would normally do as the department… A loss of a child is quite difficult and we say condolences to the family and the schooling community as a whole,” he said.
Captain Mpande Khoza, from the Soweto West Cluster, said a case of murder had been opened.
The father is expected to appear at the Protea Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
“I cannot say what exactly happened. What we know is the version that we were given to us by the father,” Khoza said.
He said it would be difficult for him to say whether the father was in a sober state of mind when the incident happened, because blood tests taken still needed to be processed in a laboratory.
“We are investigating all angles. We cannot only rely on the stories we were told by the father. We have to come up with a different version so that we can determine whether it was murder, negligence, intentional murder, or whether it was a mistake, as he said,” Khoza said.
Cape Town – Rassie Erasmus’ tenure as Springbok coach suffered another blow on Wednesday with confirmation that France-based duo Bismarck du Plessis and Frans Steyn have been ruled out of the three-Test England series.
Still reeling from the 22-20 defeat to an understrength Wales side in Washington DC last weekend, Erasmus’ preparations for his first series at the helm took a double hit mere days ahead of kick-off in the opening clash at Ellis Park.
In a short, three paragraph media release, SA Rugby confirmed the pair had been “withdrawn from the Springbok group because of injury”, claiming “both players sustained the injuries while playing club rugby in France last weekend”.
The injury news will come as a surprise to many considering both players played the full 80 minutes of Montpellier’s Top 14 final defeat to Castres last weekend and no prior mention was made of any injury concerns – until now.
The release went on state, without identifying the nature of the injuries, that both players “went for further investigations and specialist opinions and it was decided to rather withdraw them from the Springbok squad for the series against England”.
No details of whether the players would be replaced, nor the length of their layoffs, was mentioned.
Following Saturday’s clash in Johannesburg, the Springboks and England will do battle in Bloemfontein (June 16) and Cape Town (June 23).
Whether Du Plessis and Steyn will feature in the Rugby Championship which follows in August, remains to be seen.
Former president Jacob Zuma has “warned” those who continue to speak about him in public not to “provoke” him.
Zuma told his detractors to keep quiet and discuss their own organisations, not him.
“Not me, because I have things to say about their organisations, but I don’t want to do so because I know why I’m part of the struggle. They must not provoke me,” he said.
Zuma issued the warning after delivering a speech on free education at an event organised by the Congress of South African Students (Cosas) in Durban on Wednesday.
After his speech, he sang Yinde Lendlela and, just as everyone thought he was done, he issued the warning.
He said the reason he had kept quiet for so long was because he had been president at the time and needed to be careful about how he handled things.
“I just want to give that warning. Instead of discussing their own programmes and policies, they sit in their leadership to discuss me. I’m warning them, don’t continue doing it,” he said.
He said, now that he was no longer president, “I can handle them the way I want. This is just a warning”, before launching into his signature song Umshini Wami.
The ANC Youth League’s KwaZulu-Natal chairperson Kwazi Mshengu had earlier told those gathered at the venue that the league was worried about Zuma’s “persecution” by the South African Communist Party.
“It is not the role of the communist party to spend three days in a meeting discussing Zuma, and then call a media briefing to say they still hate Zuma,” he said.
Cosas backs ‘loyal ANC member’ Zuma
He asked what more Zuma had to do to prove that he was a loyal ANC member.
“If he campaigns for the ANC, they say he must stop and if he sits at home they associate him with the formation of a new party. We are saying Zuma must continue campaigning for the ANC.”
Khetha Mjodi from Cosas accused SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande of failing to give them free education when he was minister of higher education.
“But Zuma did. The same person who says Zuma mustn’t be used in ANC programmes is the same person who failed to give us free education,” he said, adding that they would continue using Zuma in their programmes.
Nzimande reportedly said on Sunday that it was not enough for Zuma to say he was not planning to leave the ANC.
He reportedly said that Zuma was at the heart of a counter-revolutionary fightback against the drive against corruption and state capture.
On Thursday last week, Zuma dismissed allegations that he was part of a group that wanted to form a new political party in KwaZulu-Natal.
