I lost 5 dress sizes during my weight loss journey and I feel better than ever.
An Incredible Weight Loss Journey
My official weight loss journey began in July 2015. I always felt so sick, sluggish, tired and ultimately unhappy when I was overweight.
Prior to starting my weight loss journey, I was battling hypothyroidism and was vitamin D deficient. I also had really low calcium. These ailments made it difficult for me to lose weight.
It seemed like the odds were against me. I remember lying in bed one night and I cried and prayed to God that I would get help to be a better version of myself.
A few weeks later, through a friend, I learned of an online weight loss program called Fitness on Fire Online Training that included a trainer and a nutritionist.
Yes, you read that right, a program all online! The program gave me the tools on how to incorporate better eating habits and guided me on what to do in the gym.
Transforming Habits During My Weight Loss Journey
I went from eating fast food, junk food, and the like to eating more vegetables, lean meats and removing foods high in sugar.
In addition, I worked out 5-6 days a week and remained accountable to my team.
Previously I did not use the gym and now you can't keep me out of there!
Some days were harder than others but I just kept going because I truly wanted to be healthy and reach my goals.
Recently, I visited the doctor and received a clean bill of health! To date, I have dropped 5 dress sizes, 5 bra sizes, and 2 shoe sizes. I have truly learned the meaning of transformation and I never wish to go back to where I was.
Inspiring Others
My family and friends thought I was crazy when I told them what I was doing and how they look at me in sheer amazement. In fact, my mother completed the same program and has lost over 40lbs!
I have come so far and will keep striving to be the best me that I can be.
I hope that my story inspires others that they can be just as successful on the road to becoming a better version of themselves. It is absolutely possible to look, feel and live better than you did before if you have a mind to do it. I am living, breathing proof that it can be done!
