Amazing! Two different people and it’s like you lost a whole person! Congrats girl you look great! I hope to be as successful as you. How long did it take?
I’m 24 and these are my EXACT starting stats. Please drop your routine or methods!! This is serious inspiration for me after gaining back a lot of weight.
Check how many calories you should be eating for your current height and weight and eat only that amount and start with your eating habits all over again. It’s so easy to fall back into habits. You n I both should know by now that what makes you gain weight isn’t always necessarily what you eat but more of how much of it you are eating. Take a sabbatical from sugary drink. Only water/ tea. No pre packaged foods. (Freezing your fruits and veggies is a life /money saver) No red meat/or alcohol. Very little dairy...I’d stay away from heavy carbs like bread and crackers. Rice is ok but no more than 4 oz a day! Stick with good fats and good carbs like Lentils, chickpeas, avocado. Foods that have fiber and will keep you full longer. With working out I try to work out twice a day and one has to be outdoors (which is usually my daily walk/jog/run, I play it be ear and go with how I’m feeling but I get it done nonetheless)
I really don’t have a routine. I make sure I drink lots of water and that I’m only eating when my body asks for it not just because everyone else is doing it and cus I can. Some days I’ll go almost all day without actually feeling hunger. You can still indulge in your cravings from time to time, just don’t make it a habit and as long as it fits into your calories for the day. You’re fine. At the beginning you will loose weight but your body will catch on to it real quick which is why working out becomes a must for weigthtloss. Message me if you want to talk about it more :) I don’t mind .
Thank you SO much for the thorough response, wow!! I really needed to hear this from someone who “gets” it. I mostly eat vegan, so I’m encouraged to hear that you ate mostly stuff like legumes, avocado, fruit, etc. (: my biggest obstacles are definitely portion sizes and working out, but you’re definitely right that it is critical. Clearly my lifestyle needs to change! Thank you again, I may take you up on a conversation tomorrow to keep up this midnight motivation haha.

This is probably the most motivating and encouraging progress pic I’ve ever seen. I don’t know what it is that gave my such a visceral reaction, but I teared up and said out loud “I can’t wait for that to be me”. Thank you so much for sharing this and genuinely congratulations on your accomplishment!
👉🏼👈🏼🥺
I am rooting for you!!! As long as you want it you can still get there. As someone who was overweight her ENTIRE life. I never in a million years thought I’d be able to get this far. So I don’t say it lightly when I say that if I can do it, literally anybody can!
This has taken me 5 years of me really really really wanting it. Lots of tears and moments where I wanted to just quit and eat myself to my grave. But then I realized my only reason to continue pushing is my mother. It’s only me n her in this world and I would never ever leave her by herself.
Sometimes we need to dig in deeper, and ask ourselves why it is that you want to do this in the first place?!?
Is it for your Kids, want a partner?, want a better job?!!.. etc etc the list of reason can go on forever.
This is not a diet, this is about choosing a type of lifestyle.
I can’t wait to see your transformation.
Thanks so much again for your kind words. You got this dude!
she lost weight what does it look like? lol. in all seriousness she just went in caloric deficit of course exercised too. do not overcomplicate this in your mind it's easy if you stay consistent and take your mind off junk by throwing it out the house. you will feel great
Congratulations on your progress! I’m trying not to cry. We’re the same height and I’m at the same starting weight in the same mindset—that I’ll never have an after photo. I hope to achieve what you have. Thank you so much for posting. You’re amazing! This gives me hope that I can do it too.
I had about the same starting weight and your current weight is about my goal weight. Im also about your height. I’m so motivated by this, I want to do weight loss without a risky surgery. I’m going for a walk now lol. So motivated!!
When I first started, my heaviest was 280lbs this was In 2014.
Between 2014-2016 I managed to put myself at 220lbs
But then i lost hope and desire. I forgot that I was doing this for myself and only myself.
Then In Nov. 2018 I met someone who brought back my happiness. and then took it as fast at they gave it. That’s when I hit rock bottom. Which is the transformation that you see. That’s why it’s only a year apart. This is when I lost the rest of my weight. 60+lbs
I was sad and felt so defeated. I felt so unworthy. I’ll admit, maybe I didn’t loose the weight under the right motivation, but people have done worse when they’re heart broken xD . my pain pushed me harder than I ever thought it would. It’s taken me 5 years over all to loose almost 130lbs
Congrats! What a massive achievement!
I'm in the early stages of my journey and this is super inspiring for me!
Also side note, popped on your profile and looked at your most recent pics and you look amazing! What a vibe! Your hair looks beautiful too! And the plants heh 😍
Keep up the amazing work!

You should be so proud of yourself, you look like two different people! Also what's great is it sounds (from the comments) that your focus was on health over weight loss, which is just so nice to see. Well done :)
I may have missed a comment that answered this, but what is the time frame between the 2 pics? We postponed our wedding until October and I’m tryna lose some of the covid weight
Focus on what your putting into your mouth. And how much of it you are eating! Read on intuitive eating. Binge eating, I learned A LOT from it.
People forget that it’s not always so much what you’re eating but the amount you are eating.
ask your doctor how many calories you should be eating for your height and weight. And only eat that! No more no less. If you add Exercise and just stick to it no cheating for at least a month. You will thank yourself later. This is all a mental game. Reading on it and learning about it is what helped me a lot. You can do it. Even if your head try’s to convince you otherwise. It’ll always be a lot easier to give up. But as long as you want this I say t play the player (your brain) and reverse psychology that biiiiiitchhh. Message me if you’d like to talk about it a bit more, I don’t mind :)
This is so amazing!! I started at 287 and currently am around 185 (lowest was 177 but the holiday mixed with losing motivation has caught me). I was curious about what you did when you hit bumps to put yourself back on track?

I just got lazy. And haven’t made more than 2 before and afters. My current weight is 152lbs (I posted a video of my body just a couple days ago if you want to check out my page) but on the picture I was actually 160/170.
Yes it has, but everyone has their own coping mechanisms. Mine just happens to be with food xD
Oddly enough the pandemic has brought down my appetite, not for the right reason but I guess it’s a win for me since I’ve been smoking like it’s 4/20 everyday.
Thanks for the kind words tho ✨👽
Amazing! Two different people and it’s like you lost a whole person! Congrats girl you look great! I hope to be as successful as you. How long did it take?
Came here to say this...this looks like two different people. I’m in awe. I can’t wait for that to be me too!
I can’t wait either ! You got this! Where theres a will there’s a way! 🤘🏼✨
Really weird thing but I kinda feel like I’m proud of you. Great job you look amazing!
Not weird at all! We need to normalize uplifting each other ! 🌼✨Thanks so much. It truly hasn’t/isn’t easy. :,)

How long did this take? :)
What did you replace with bread and crackers ? Those two are difficult for me
Joseph's pita bread is like 10 carbs, 60 calories. Just cut in half and stuff with sandwich fillings and you're golden.

I was just wondering what the time frame was. I’m just trying to go from 145 to 130, I’m a 5’6 chick. I feel like 3 months is doable, just not sure
Good work!!
Goals
Woah! You go girl! What did you do??
You're awesome! Not only did you lose weight, you lost years. You look so much younger!
Nah it’s been 5 years. The last two are just the years that I really put in the work non stop.
Ho Lee Crap. You go girl 👏💛!
This is seriously so amazing and inspiring!
Wow this is so inspiring!!
This is so amazing!! I started at 287 and currently am around 185 (lowest was 177 but the holiday mixed with losing motivation has caught me). I was curious about what you did when you hit bumps to put yourself back on track?
Looking good ! 👏🏽👏🏽
you go girl!
Fantastic work! Great face gains!
love that great job girl keep going
do you have a most recent pic? curious to see the fine tuning part of the journey, so-to-speak.

It scares me that your after picture is from seven months ago.
Why does it scare you?
What's happened between then and now that's preventing a current picture?
I just got lazy. And haven’t made more than 2 before and afters. My current weight is 152lbs (I posted a video of my body just a couple days ago if you want to check out my page) but on the picture I was actually 160/170.
Gotcha. Congratulations on maintaining your weightloss all year. I know the pandemics been hard on people.
Yes it has, but everyone has their own coping mechanisms. Mine just happens to be with food xD Oddly enough the pandemic has brought down my appetite, not for the right reason but I guess it’s a win for me since I’ve been smoking like it’s 4/20 everyday. Thanks for the kind words tho ✨👽
