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!

It’s hard to see your body change when you’re the one living in it, and sometimes it’s hard for me to see a difference at all. Whenever that happens, I have to go back and remind myself that the past 10 months haven’t been in vain and that the girl in the first picture would be so proud to live in the body I have now. 80 pounds down since February and still pushing myself to be the person the girl on the left knew she could be 😁

2009 > 2016
I was browsing through my Facebook and stumbled upon the pic on the left, which I haven’t seen in years. It really took me back to such a different time in my life. It blows my mind what a difference -110lbs can make, facially. We are usually so fixated on our bodies when it comes to weight loss, it was cool to do a side by side comparison of my face. Looks like I lost the eyeliner along the way, too😏

Transformation tuesday post because I was in need of some motivation and, well… Which progress post would inspire me more to keep going than my own?
These photos are a bit more than one year apart, I think.
187lbs vs 163lbs.
Things won’t always go your way. Believe me. Your journey won’t go smoothly. There will be bumps in the way. There will be blood and sweat and tears. And anxiety if you’re anything like me.
But trust me on this… It’s worth it.
You are not less than anyone else. You deserve to feel comfortable in your own skin and you have the skills to do anything it takes for that to happen! But you have to believe!!
Don’t feel discouraged if you can’t lose 50 lbs in 4 months. Maybe that one girl you follow could, but she is not you. You are you. And let’s face it… You either have a loooooooot of extra fat to lose or 99% of human being can’t shed 50lbs in 4 months. Not in a natural, healthy way, at least.
So don’t worry. You’ll get there.
I’ve been on this journey for literally 10 years. I’d lose and gain weight like nothing. About one year ago I decided to get serious about this and this is the result.
What I’m trying to say, and probably failing (that’s me…. not much when it comes to making a point. Sorry ‘bout that.), is that it’s okay to try a million times and fail. You will put yourself together eventually and kick life in the ass. You are amazing. You can do this!
*kiss on the forehead*
Keep going!

Thank you slimming world!!!! 💕💕💕💕
Back story!
I have a heart condition and have struggled with my weight for my whole life! Weight on the heart can be fatal if not sorted and having kids I wanted to be around forever!! Last year I went on holiday to Isle of Wight for a wedding and wore a Lindy bop dress and felt a million dollars… upon looking back at the photo (on the left) I was repulsed, I had let myself go, wayyy to far for my liking! I had 2 children (4&1) and used them as and excuse as to why I couldn’t lose weight… I got back and jumped on the scales 20st 5lb stared back at me.. I was disgusted!!! Now I knew my local sw group wasn’t until the week after, but I started that day as soon as I could!…
when I weighted in the week after I was 19st 13.5lb which is my official sw starting weight….The photo on the right was 1 week ago at my brother in laws wedding as a bridesmaid 7 STONE 6.5LB GONE!!!… wearing a size 12!!!
I never thought I’d see this day, 14 months on I am so excited about reaching that target soon and never going back to what I was!
So thank you slimming world for giving me a plan that I can enjoy, love, follow, include my family and most of all thank you for allowing me my confidence back! 😍😍😍😍😍

obsessioniswhatiambestat:To think that I was that big and I...
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!!

So I kept my promise and went to the gym today. I did cardio and strength training as usual. But today was a fat day, I saw myself as that 202lbs girl again. Despite managing to fit in a size 6 in jeans all I could see was all the work I have left to do. Such as toning my legs and tummy. I’m a work in progress, and aim to be healthy. So I decided to make more progress picture collages. This is why before pictures are SO important. I have come a long way despite me not seeing that today. And I hope to inspire some of you guys to start a fitness journey of your very own or to give you the inspiration to continue. It took me a long time to get here but I’m better for it, stay strong. 💪🏾💕

Reason I never give up on this journey is because of how happy I am now with my life and everything in general. For me all it took was eating a whole lot less and cardio and the gym. I still continue to do that and I now added in more lifting as well. I still have my days where its hard to indulge and eat everything and even if I have a cheat day, it just makes me work harder.
