edited January 29 in Success Stories
So, I thought today would be appropriate to share my success story. I'll make it short and sweet.
I started my journey at 340 lbs. The first picture is me at that weight. I hadn't really noticed how big I was. Especially around the midsection.
However, through hard work, I now stand at 174 lbs. and I truly could not be happier. I've reached my goal!

It wasn't easy. Anything worth having in this life won't ever be. But trust me, if I can do this, so can you. I was the most unmotivated, lazy person you could ever imagine. I'd do anything NOT to get up off of the couch. And just as a side note, I still indulge Every single week. Don't deprive yourself. Eat what you love and live your life!

    Thank you so much for the kind words. I wanted to share this with you all not for the compliments, although they are great. But because I want people to know that they CAN do it. It IS possible.

    Honestly, I eat completely clean from Sunday - Friday. I work out Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. And Saturdays are My day to relax and eat what I want. It's not so much a cheat day, but it's a day where I don't count my calories and have to worry. Also, it gives me something to look forward to at the end of each work week. It's kept me going.

    Thank you everyone!
    And honestly, do I have the perfect body? No, I do not. I'll always have a bigger back side and bigger thighs. But you know what? I don't want the perfect body. I want the body that is right for me. And this is it. My goal was never to be a 115 lb. super model with my ribs sticking out. Or even to have abs. It's just to be confident.
