The secret of my weight loss

Yanicka1

I was fat after giving birth to my 6 kid


I am not anymore



How did I do it?

Eat food that I like but not all the time or in huge quantities.




Do exercise that I like as often as possible
.



What I didn’t do was

Use cleanses

Use pills

Have an all or nothing mentality

Changes everything all at once

Exercise for hours everyday.

Starve

I didn’t let the fact that I am short, have PCOS, Narcolepsy, single mom, tired (see PCOS and Narco), don’t feel like it, be reasons not to at least try everyday.

Expect it all to happen in 6 weeks.

Between the first and second pics, there is 960 days…..it might not be that impressive but I still got there and will go even further.

The secret to my success is PATIENCE. I didn’t lose weight or even inches for almost 10 months…..but pics taken every month showed that things were happening.

My Hero

Seriously.

I lack patience usually, but have told myself I'm in it for the long haul this time. There is no reason I shouldn't have the body I want (within reason).

and I didn't mean to leave this out, but you look amazing. I'm inspired.

Thank you for this! I am doing the same thing, and at times it seems daunting. It's inspirational to see someone that had the same ideas and succeeded. I eat what I like (in sensible portions, now) and don't feel bad about it. I figure it's worth it, to be happy -and- healthy and keeps me from pining over certain foods.

Thank you for the reminder! For the last 2 years I was so set on the idea that I would lose 40 pounds in 4 months. I now know I don't want to lose 40 pounds in 4 months. I am ok with it taking me a year. Changing my eating habbits and cutting my cardio in half and lifting more is already making a huge difference! You look great!

Barbellerella

Awesome. Solid advice!

elleloch

And THIS, my friends, is how it's done.

BRAVO. You look amazing.

Absolutely awesome. Patience is key. You're living proof of that. Congratulations on your journey of change. I myself have often fallen into the "6 weeks" mentality and this is a great reminder to me to stay the course and be patient.
