Before & after pics to motivate you (and even me!)

It's been over a year since I've started this fitness journey and I'm amazed by how much weight I was able to lose using this handy dandy app (about 80 pounds). It was the hardest thing I've ever done. Now it seems like maintaining the weight will be the second hardest thing (though I'm def up for the challenge). It wasn't easy getting here, and I keep telling myself that I've come too far to mess up and get lazy again. I like to look at old pictures as a reminder of how far I've come. So I decided to post some before/afters on here to get myself re-focused, and hopefully inspire others to keep working towards their own fitness goals.

what helped was meal planning. lots of fruits and veggies, but never restricting myself. if i wanted a chocolate bar, i had one. but i tried not to overdo it.0

just a healthier lifestyle! i wasn't "training" for anything. i tried (and am still trying) to make changes i can live with.
i do lots of cardio when i can, and choose healthier food options whenever possible. but i'm not perfect and i try not to beat myself up when i mess up.0 -
You look great, good job! Also, you have really cute fashion sense! Once I get to where I want to be I'll be in serious need of a new wardrobe with some type of style again FINALLY lol0
