WOW.... 55lbs down and feeling amazing! (with pictures)

ESapone

I started my fitness journey back at the end of 2012! Here I am at the end of 2014 and feeling amazing! and even though I have slipped here and there (I am human) and gained a tiny bit back (8lbs), I feel amazing!! I have accomplished so much over these past 2 years. I ran my first 5k, I went on a vacation wearing a two piece, and most importantly I have inspired the people around me to live a healthy lifestyle. My next goal is to lose another 20lbs and run a half marathon! Let's do this!!!

Before... 220ish








NOW!

You look great!! I have a similar body type and used to hate my wide hips that stay wide at any weight. Now I look at your photos and see how gorgeous and feminine this body shape is, and how stupid I was to not love it when I had it. You are such an inspiration!

No secret really. I had to change my whole lifestyle, minimized my portions and cut out a lot of sugar and sodium from my diet. Educating myself about what I was putting in my body was a huge factor in my weight loss.

Also, I started to run and I started to compete with myself week to week. I try to fit in at LEAST a 30 minute workout a day (even if it's something small, like walking my dog)

That feeling of fitting in to a new size pair of jeans helped a bit too, I wanted to experience that over and over


I hope this helps, Nobody has really asked me how I did it before.
