Losing weight to get a sexy shape

From left to right:
1. January 2015 – 198.8lbs
2. December 2015 – 135lbs
3. December 2016 – 144.6lbs

Yes, I am heavier now than I was a year ago. My body has changed so much for the better with increased muscle mass and strength.

Size doesn’t matter. Weight does not equal size. I wear a smaller size now at almost ten pounds heavier than I did in the middle photo.

Don’t be afraid to eat. Don’t be afraid to lift heavy. Don’t be afraid to indulge yourself occasionally. It doesn’t take one day to lose 60lbs, much like you won’t put it back on after one day.

get inspired by this weight loss story

I tried to copy the pose, but didn’t really succeed…lol. My friend told me I shouldn’t post this because it’s hard to compare a candid pic to a selfie (bc generally everyone looks better in selfies) especially with different lighting, but I think regardless I definitely look a LOT better than a month ago. The first pic was taken December 27th & the second picture last night after my workout. There’s about a 15lb difference between the pictures!! I know it’s not totally accurate but it still helps me to see a bit of progress.

Don’t get frustrated if it takes longer than you’d like or if you have to restart

Transformation Tuesday - 206 vs. 164.
2010 vs. 2017
It’s been a long journey and I’ve learned a lot in the process. I’m not done yet and I will keep pushing myself to be better, to do more and to grow.
That’s all you can ever do really… The time will pass anyway. Your life will go on. Make change, make progress and learn more about yourself. Don’t get frustrated if it takes longer than you’d like or if you have to restart (again and again).

weight loss is the secret of beauty !

To think that I was that big and I wasn’t even my biggest… It’s strange because I don’t see myself as that big but at the same time I do. Like I’ll put on a shirt thinking “this will never fit!” and no and behold it fits fine and I look good in it(example that knit sweater I have on in the during pic! I’m a person that always eats what she wants and never held back and didn’t have any idea of portions or anything. I’d snack constantly on anything I could, a lot of dry cereal, chips, and chocolate. But I still eat those just not as much. And a lot of the weight-loss is because of the job I got that requires a fair bit of physical stuff. Nightly I walk anywhere from 4-8 miles a night depending on what I do and where I’m going.

But what I want to say is that if I can do it, and trust me there are many many tears involved to this day they are, there’s hope for anyone to do this if they want to. I’m nowhere where I want do be but I know if I continue to try I’ll Get it!!

gaining muscles and losing fats

    My 2016 weight loss update y'all!

    Left September 2015

    Right November 2016

    Total Pounds lost: 10 pounds

    Overall weight loss: 45 pounds!

    So here’s the deal with 2016. My body gained A TON of muscle and lost a ton of fat. The photos and the measuring tape love it but the scale doesn’t. In 2016 I started weight lifting, did a cycle of Whole 30, was told to cut gluten, actually worked on cutting gluten, joined Beachbody On Demand and started doing 21 Day Fix in September 2016. My biggest piece of advice? Hit up Beachbody if your plateauing! The 21 Day Fix diet did NOT work for me but I absolutely love the workout program. The workout program helped me lose inches quick!

    Also I have Hashimoto’s disease but am not on any thyroid meds. Feel free to reach out if you need help getting started!

Patience, consistency, and dedication's role in weight loss

Just time, patience, consistency, dedication, and a mix of crazy! when I look in the mirror I still see rolls and my skin is looser but I don’t get discouraged. I put in work cause I know that changes are being made! Keep going so you have pictures like these later!! It’s definitely fire in my furnace.
