I started my weight loss journey in August 2014. I was nearly 300 pounds, a mother of three, and very depressed. I was addicted to food. I was becoming a hermit. My life revolved around what I should eat, shouldn't eat, wanted to eat, and couldn't eat. I had tried to lose weight many times with small losses and large gains.
My aha moment was walking through Sam's Club with my husband. I was out of breath, my joints ached, I was waddling, and I could just FEEL my weight everywhere. I decided to speak with my Dr and through research of my own found that a low carb diet is best for women with PCOS.
I began a low carb, no refined sugar, no alcohol, portion control lifestyle. Within two weeks I lost twenty pounds and my cravings were almost non existent. I needed something that I could fit into my lifestyle and follow long term and this happened to be it. After a few months I started walking five times a week and lifting twice a week. Today I do several cardio workouts 6 times a week (Zumba, C25k, PiYo) and lift with a trainer twice a week. I also follow a ketogenic diet/lifestyle which is high fat, moderate protein, low carb. I feel amazing. I am active all the time. I can't remember the last time I've sat on the couch and watched TV like I used to do every night for HOURS. I have gotten my life back and this time is for good! If anyone has any questions please feel free to Private Message me or follow me on Instagram Tiffany012780. I will be happy to share more of my journey! HW 293 CW 167 GW 160

You look amazing! Congrats on such a phenomenal loss!!! Did you use a particular lifting program when you started or was it just what the trainer told you to do?0

So inspiring! Congrats!2

I knew nothing about lifting @Canuckgirl77 so I just followed my trainers instruction. I just knew that I wanted to stay as tight as possible while losing weight.4
