Last year I embarked upon a journey that changed my life. I would look at pictures of myself and just break into tears. I truly hated myself. Even to this day, it is so very, very painful to realize that these pictures were me:

and here is the transformation to the current me, the real ME:

Before I was 166 pounds/29 percent body fat, and now I am 134 pounds and 18.5 percent body fat. I am working towards 125 pounds.

I know how emotionally, physically, and mentally hard it is to lose the weight. If anyone needs a motivator, I am here! I have great workout, supplement, and nutrition ideas.

I wish everyone the best of luck on their life changing journey.

    you look awesome! way to go! =] thank you for these photos, they're inspirational! i could always use a motivator, let's continue by encouraging each other. also, i loved what you said about it's a choice not a circumstance. it's sooooo true. i'm famous for giving myself a "pass" whenever there is no groceries, or at a restaurant with "nothing good to eat". i'll keep it mind!

    Thank you all so much! It wasn't easy.. but it was TOTALLY the worth it.

    Cheilsea, I believe I started February 1st and was down to 130 by May 10th (my birthday- best gift ever!). Over the summer, I was a little sloppy and gained five back, but now I am completely back into the groove and would like to ultimately be between 120 and 125/ 15 percent body fat.

    I am here to help any of you. Besides going through the journey myself, I am a certified personal trainer/boxing instructor, and I truly have a passion for helping others succeed.

    Best,
    Natalie
