Before pic was taken in 2013 at my heaviest. I never weighed myself back then so I don't have a very accurate measurement. It's shocking how easy it was to gain all that weight and barely be aware. But that day I woke up and knew something had to change.
It comes down to eating better and moving more. Count calories. Push yourself physically and do it frequently. It's ok to let yourself be hungry. Between 150-135 I practiced intermittent fasting, which usually meant skipping one meal a day. That helped me lose weight the fastest. I've maintained 135 for 6 months now and I usually (pandemic aside) workout 2-3 times per week. I absolutely love Barre and HIIT classes at the gym; I found a class environment with an enthusiastic instructor and other people around was the best motivator for working harder and going consistently. As a result I'm so much more graceful and athletic today. I feel energized and challenged by hard exercise. I dropped from a size 12/14 to a 4, and I love the way I look in my clothes.
I want you to know that your weight loss is possible too. When I took those top pics, I never ever ever thought I could get to 150, let alone 135. It took me YEARS and it's ok to take it slow. A couple months of dieting isn't gonna cut it. I had to overhaul my relationship with food and exercise. But it also feels like yesterday that I stood in the mirror for those before photos. I thought to myself that I can either be the same/worse off in 5 years or I could be better. The choice is yours.
