What was your motivation?
My motivation to lose weight? I wanted to look good and feel good naked. Strength training also helped me manage anxiety and depression.
How have you changed your eating habits?
I drastically changed my eating habits. I no longer consume soda, pork or beef. I practice portion control when dining out at a local restaurant by splitting with a friend or saving leftovers for later.
What is your workout routine?
My workouts consist of cardio and strength training. My favorite cardio is 60 minutes on the elliptical or 60 minutes on the treadmill at a level 5 incline.
When my goal is to maintain my weight, I exercise three times a week. When my goal is to lose weight, I work out seven days a week.
I’ve had several coaches over the past three years. The two coaches who have had the most positive influence on me @blisslifestyle fitness: and Kyle From Crunch Fitness in Westland, Michigan.
How tall are you?
I’m 5’0”.
When did you start your weight loss journey?
I started my weight loss journey in 2020. I started seeing results in four weeks.
Is weight loss surgery part of your journey?
My weight loss journey is natural. I lost 40 pounds through clean eating and exercise.
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?
The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that it doesn’t get any easier. You are getting stronger. Your body can do almost anything. It’s your mind that you have to convince.
What advice would you give to women who want to lose weight?
The advice I’d like to share is don’t wait until you’re sick to worry about your health. Instead, show up for yourself every day, and you won’t regret it.
If you need help, hire a personal trainer. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of personal trainers.
