whitney_simpson

so I wrote a totally long and super inspirational post about my journey and then I closed the tab before I submitted it and now it is gone.

Oh well, the moment has passed. So here are the photos without all of the tl;dr

50 lbs ago in Maui



20 lbs lost


25 Lbs


30 lbs


40 lbs


Somewhere around 40 lbs


After I put a little weight back on...so around 35 lbs


Around 45 lbs...and the most recent picture I have...unless you count the ones so my boyfriend....but you can't have those.



I still have around 20 pounds left to lose but I am so beyond thrilled. This is a huge milestone for me. Now commence with the praise!

I stayed motivated by constantly trying new things. I started by taking 3-4 mile hikes 4 days a week and then moved up to 10-12 mile hikes. Then, I signed up for mud runs and going to bootcamp classes. A few months ago I started lifting. The thrill of getting a personal record, beating a time up a mountain, making it through a mud run kept me going. I know that I can now do things that I never would have been able to achieve before and it just makes me want to achieve more.

edited to add: if you find things you love to do you'll never want to stop.

also, i rewarded myself with things like massages, facials, bungee jumping, and sky diving.

You look great! Congratulations! What's the best thing about losing the weight? What has surprised you the most?

(Off topic question! - Is that the Bridge to Nowhere in your pictures? I used to hike to there all the time and watch people bungie off the bridge, totally nuts! I love that hike and miss it!)

The best thing about losing the weight is having the ability to do all the fun and adventurous things I never would have attempted before. I am one of the most competitive people I know so it was constantly like a competition against myself. Honestly not much surprised me. I used to be a water polo player and swimmer, and quite small, so I know what it is like to be skinnier.
also, totally is Bridge to Nowhere. I love it because it's super easy and you can do it in like 4 hours. Also, its beautiful back there.

Congratulations! You look fantastic!
