90 POUNDS DOWN IN ONE YEAR!

Yes yes yes, I'm aware 90 pounds can be way easier for someone to lose in a WAYYY shorter amount of time then what I did. BUT I did this the best way for me!
So in the beginning of 2016, I knew it was my year. I seriously had a gut feeling, and nothing was stoping or holding me back. I started 2016 at 5'5, 285 pounds. The heaviest I have ever been in my life. I ate like a pig, junk food/fast food constantly entering my body. I never exercised. I just didn't care about my health or body. But I felt so lazy and awful about myself. My friends were so fit & energetic and I wanted something like that.. so I decided to make a change!
I first off downloaded My Fitness Pal. I've consistently used this app for over a year now. I promise you I wouldn't have lost the weight without it. I also joined Planet Fitness and did cardio 4-5 times a week for 45 minutes. I also drank half my body weight in ounces of water everyday. That made the world of difference. I cut out junk food, fast food and pop. Once you get past two weeks without it, I promise you won't look back.
And that's it. That's all I did. I didn't take diet pills, I didn't starve myself & I didn't do anything to put myself or my body in harm! I simply began eating right and exercising. And by the end of 2016, I was 90 pounds lighter! I still have at least 40 pounds to go to get where I will happily be but it's possible you guys!!
I went from a 2x shirt to a Medium/Large. And I went from a 20 size pants to 10! Literally cut my body in half! Insane! Just be CONSISTENT.
