TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY (share your photos!)

happy transformation tuesday! here's my progress, share yours below

I'm 5'4" and my highest RECORDED weight was 177 (I suspect it probably crept higher than that, but I avoided the scale - and photos!) I moved to Los Angeles in January of 2013 and changed my lifestyle drastically - I started eating better and became way more active. I lost a good chunk with only those changes. I removed gluten from my diet in August of 2013 and began to see additional weight loss. In early 2014, hovering between 135-140 lbs and still feeling a little unhappy about my body, I began to track calories. In April 2014 I started using MFP, which was way more helpful than tracking alone. I started to see how my estimations were off and pieces that I missed. I added yoga at the end of May 2014 and got hooked immediately. I've never felt healthier, stronger or happier with my body.

I'm happy to say I'm now down to 126.8 with today's weigh-in so that's 50 pounds down!


The left photo is in September 2012 (admittedly one of the worst I could find) and the right is in May 2014 – maybe 4 pounds over my current weight.


And a bikini photo from a week ago, just for good measure!
