I am so excited, overwhelmed, and grateful to have my story featured by @usweekly! (Google it for a read: Carolyn Kaufman USWeekly).
There was once a time where I didn’t know if I would survive my illness, If I even wanted to. I share my story, despite how incredibly personal it is, because I want people to know that great successes in health don’t come easy, but they are so extremely worth it. You are capable of beautiful, wonderful, incredible miracles.
I didn’t know if I’d ever have a normal life again. Now I know, I absolutely won’t, and how freaking wonderful is that?
Grateful as always to the incredible support system I have in my life. Your love, laughter, and light keep me going. <3

Summertime always reminds me of the beginning of my journey. This time, 4 years ago, I rose before the sun and walked miles and miles, drank gallons and gallons of water and began to learn my purpose in life - to help others.
I can proudly say that since then, I’ve been doing nothing but that, by living my own life and fighting my own battles. To the longtime friends, thank you for following me for 4 years worth of #TransformationTuesdays ❤️
You are capable of some pretty awesome shit if you believe it. #KingsCoaching #TransformationTuesday
On Tuesdays we #transform ⛄️ 👉🏽👗 #transformationtuesday

Knowing & loving yourself will take you places before and during,
The difference in the photos is minor compared to how I felt taking the first one and how I felt taking the second one. Loving yourself, loving what you see in the mirror, and loving the process makes all the difference in the world. 2.5 weeks, 10 pounds, and a new level of happiness later. Just a progress picture to keep myself motivated to keep going!
The picture on the left was taken nearly 3 years ago. I had an awesome lady I met while at a Biggest Loser casting call, we took a group photo and this really captures just how big I was. I knew my body made a huge change but I didn’t really realize just how significant it was until I saw this picture. I’m happy with how far I’ve come, still striving for more. #throwbackthursday #obesetobeast #fitness #weightlossjourney #weightlifting #gains #getswole
#transformationtuesday for your viewing pleasure! There is an 11st/150lb difference between these images. It’s taken huge amounts of education and discipline to get where I am, but reaching my goals brings a new confidence and sense of accomplishment. Sometimes my goals are tiny but equally hard to reach, don’t get caught up in an ‘end game’, it’s one day, one step, one meal at a time.

Transformation Tuesday!
I’ll be honest (and I’m sure you guys have noticed my lack of posting), I haven’t been feeling super great about my progress lately. I lost motivation, and for me to regain motivation is HARD.
But I’m working on it. And to be honest again, these pictures are about a year apart (last July - recently), and there’s about a 10 pound difference. Which I didn’t think that there were still changes happening. BUT THERE ARE.
So there we have it. :D
And since today is #transformationtuesday here’s a quick transformation! 330lbs to 180lbs. Not only smaller, but happier and healthier than ever! 💙💙

You either make the change or you don’t.
There is no in between.
And that’s the trick!You set your mind to it and don’t turn back! No if ands or buts about it!
No matter what gets in Your way.
No matter how hard it gets.
No matter how slow the progress.
You keep going!Set your mind, make it happen!
Do you really want this?
Or is it just a wishful thought?
Let me ask again…
Do you really want this?!

115 pounds of weight loss. I started at 252 lbs and I’m now 136 pounds. From a size 24 jeans to a size 6. My life has changed drastically.
I’m still depressed. I’m still struggling with anxiety but I’m better than I’ve been in over a decade and that means the world to me.

(she is me a year ago vs today 30 lbs lighter)
Well I wanted to hit the 169s by end of May and mission accomplished ✔️ can’t wait to see what June will bring! Officially down 40pounds since starting my journey. #ashleysdietbet2014 #idwtbat #teampineapple #weightlosssupport #fitfam #atl #advocare #happyhealthylife #fitnessjourney #weightlossstory #naturalweightloss #girlswithmuscle #instafit #igfit #fitchicks #noexcuses #followmyjourney #fat2fit #eflrealchicks #changeyourlife #TrustTheProcess #igfitinspirations #warriorsoffitness #youvsyou #lifechange #ladies #support #strongnotskinny #fitness #weightlossjourney
This is still by far one of my favorite accomplishments! I’m a huge Falcons fan so to go from almost popping out the seams of my favorite jersey to wearing it as a nighty is beyond cool. 🔥💕🏈🔴⚫ #operationbikinibody #caloriecounter #fitness #fitfam #getfit #workingonmyfitness #flabtofab #fattofit #onepoundatatime #onamission #witnessmyfitness #goals #weightlossmotivation #weightloss #imonajourney #weightlossjourney #sheddingpounds #fitness #transformation #riseup #atlantafalcons #weightlosstransformations
Same shirt now and around the same time last year. My belly was sooooo big. Look at the line on the shirt. And my saddle bags 😒😒😒. Ouch. I hate that term but I don’t know any other. I was just starting to get active then, not a regular gym goer yet. Last night at the gym I was wearing that white compression shirt and I felt sooooo fat, that my tummy was really big. Whatever. I got this 🙌🏽💯💯💯 Wow. I didn’t think there were any pics from when I was 225lbs. 🙈🙈🙈🙈 I can’t even watch. I look so sad 💔💔💔💔. My skin looks terrible. And my clothes say “I’ve given up”. Even the pose. That pic is from a trip to Vegas, we did so much and there’s only one pic. I feel so young and happy and active and full of life now. There’s no comparison. Good food and activity are a time machine. I look 💯% better now that I’m 34 vs 20 something on the left. #nowandthen #transformationtuesday #workinprogress #beforeandduring #beforeandafter #weightlossprogress #weightlossinspiration #weightlossmotivation #keto #lowcarb #lowcarbhighfat #lchf #paleo #weightlossjourney #girlswhopowerlift #powerlifter #gymgirl #fitnessjourney #weightloss #powerlifting #weightlossjourney #powerbuilding #transformation #weightlosstransformation #mexicana #latina #powerliftingmotivation #powerliftingbeauty #powerliftinggirls #weightlosstransformation
Day 170 - Wow. Before, during, and in progress. I know there is a difference but I am struggling to see it. So odd. Isn’t it? I’ve lost 45+lbs and I am having trouble seeing it reflected in these photos. Dysmorphia. Holy cow! So far to go, having come so far. Nearly half way to my goal. I’ve lost the weight of a small child!
Well, that is one way to think about it! Today I was super excited when I was tagged on Facebook with a photo of someone with my Fat To Fab Over 50 tee-shirt!!!!!!! Sending me love and much needed, very unexpected, support.
As it turns out, Elite Health is opening a location in Pembroke Pines, Florida and they took a few moments to pop a pic for me. Made my day. Something so simple as an act of kind thoughtfulness. And Miyoko looked fabulous in it! FTFO50 Tee Shirts for all!!!!!!

I love progress pictures because it’s hard for me to see the changes in the mirror. So here’s another comparison between where I started and 20 lbs lost.

It’s been 6 months, 81 lbs lost, first workout versus one of my workouts last week. #progress #progressnotperfection #progresspic #transformation #weightloss #weightlossjourney
Today marks a year that I’ve been on my personal Obese To Beast journey. My starting weight was well over 220 pounds but when I started tracking my numbers they where thus:
May 28th, 2015:
Height - 5’
185 Pounds.
Tummy - 44".
Hips - 47".
Upper Arms - 15".
Thighs - 26".
Bust - 41".A year later I measure up as this:
May 28th, 2016:
Height - 5'1".
125 pounds.
Tummy - 34 ½".
Hips - 34".
Upper Arms - 111/2".
Thighs - 20".
Bust - 33".This last year has been so much more than numbers though! Other posts comparing my physical progress will come as the day progresses, so sorry for the spam, but it’s a big accomplishment to be proud of. Thank you to everyone who helped me get here, you know who you are, except @obese_to_beast, he probably doesn’t know how big a part he played in my getting fit. Remember, if I can do this, you can do this!

🙋🏻 Hi new friends! I love meeting new people on the same journey of living a healthy life style! I get so many food/exercise ideas and motivation from so many of you!! Hopefully I can do the same! I have lost 150lbs through my own life style change of eating healthy and incorporating weight lifting and interval cardio into my daily routine. (5-6 days a week) Most of my weight loss happened in a little over one year. I took my body from 75% body fat to 34% body fat. I’m ready for that number to get down ever further this year!!! This last year, I have been maintaining and recovering from 3 excess skin removal surgeries. (Abdominoplasty, brachioplasty and mastopexy) I plan on another procedure in the future and hopefully that’ll be my last (thigh lift) I am trying to get past my plateau and get back to losing and toning. Feeling very motivated lately. ****************************************Hopefully I can share something exciting this week! 😬😬 Stay tuned! ***************************************** I love finding new motivating accounts!! Ask me questions, I’ll keep up with them as best I can! Motivating others motivates me too!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I posted the photo on top to Reddit last May (http://ift.tt/1qfkAy3) to celebrate my 100 day ketoversary. The photo from January 2015 was taken about a month before I started keto. I’d been gluten free for 3 months prior. I was a vegetarian for 4 months before that. I was an avid hiker and yoga lover. I’m also an very active mom of 4. My body was broken though… it didn’t reflect my activity level or all of the life choices I was making that I thought were healthy ones.
Then keto happened! In 100 days I went from 240lbs and 49.6% body fat to 201lbs and 41.8% body fat. 100 fucking days!
“Low carb diets aren’t sustainable though. They make you gain weight. There’s too much protein and it totally causes kidney stones. I knew a guy, who knew a guy, who died because they stopped eating carbs” OMG this shit is the worst… don’t even.
The photo below is me, 412 days into ketosis. I’m 150lbs and about 24.9% body fat. I’m not kidding… I’ve lost 25% of my body fat in just little over a year.
The skin though… isn’t it nasty!? Meh, I’m 31 years old and I’ve always treated my sensitive skin very well. My arms are a little floppy, but when I pinch below my flexed muscle I feel fat, not skin, so I’m assuming that if I want that to go away I should probably lose more fat. My stomach looks like I’ve had 4 kids. Thankfully though, it just looks like I’m a slender lady who had 4 kids, and not a woman who had 4 kids, spent a decade weighing over 200lbs, and then lost 90lbs in a year. The loose skin fear that so many of us curvy girls have though is dumb… don’t be scared! The high fat/hormone balancing awesomeness of keto makes your skin elasticity amazing! I also take a horsetail/silica supplement that boosts collagen for ultimate hair/skin/nail health. If you do end up with loose skin after the fact, so what! Being healthy is worth it!
The boobs! Again, worth it! TMI, but I was a 34B in high school, ultimately a 36D at my highest weight, and I’m a 34C now. I’ll take it. To finally have things laying and pointing in the right direction instead of just being heavy and sad is such a sweet reward for all of my hard work. Thank goodness I never breastfed! (Little known fact, women with PCOS have trouble with milk production because of our high testosterone levels. Really wish I would have know that when nurses were being assholes to me in the hospital.)
TLDR; keto is life. I highly recommend it.
XOXO Danielle
A year….It’s okay to give yourself a year or more to change your lifestyle for the better.
On the left was May 2015 at about 174ish lbs.
The right was May 2016, yesterday on the same trip, at about 138-140lbs. (Been holding water lately)
The jeans on the left are a size 13 skinny. Jeans on the right are skinny shorts from Target at a size 6! (American)
The angles aren’t the best but there’s a huge difference in my face and my stomach. Even my arms leaned out way more and I don’t carry a lot of fat there in the first place.
I’ve still got a little ways to go as I want to go from my current 28% body fat to 23-25% bf. I’m kinda tired of cutting so I may go down to 25% and then just work on maintaining that while slightly recomp-ing.
Wherever you are in your fitness journey, please give yourself some time, don’t rush it. You’ll be much better off that way and much happier in the end.
My name is Jackie. I have a weight loss blog and I would love if you guys could subscribe to it. I have been on a weight loss journey since 2013. I once lost 80 lbs but like life, it has it’s ups and downs. You will never have a perfect line of progression.
Please subscribe and leave me comments. I love hearing from new people and hearing their story.
Even though my weights been fluctuating and I feel defeated lately, once I put these pics next to eachother I said “Damn! You may not be where you want to be but you definitely aren’t where you were girl!” Last year I never would’ve worn skinnyjeans or high heels! Note to self…. be kinder to yourself! #before #weightloss #myfitnessjourney ##transformationtuesday #loveyourself #fitness #fitfam #Latina #curvy #glamma #skinnyjeans #highheels #smile by theglammarouslife http://ift.tt/1OYYhaF
July 2013 on the left vs April 11th, 2016 on the right. Over on the left is probably one of the heaviest photos that exist of me. It made me sad when the photos of the event came back and I saw how I looked. I didn’t spend a lot if time looking at myself in the mirror back then. I hope the next time I see the person in the photo on the left we can restage this picture because her weightloss journey has been a huge inspiration to me!
