How I lost 88 pounds & got in shape!⬇️
If I had to pick the most important pieces of information or advice…
WALK!!!!!!!!!!! Weight started melting off the moment I made it a non-negotiable to walk 10,000 steps every single day. People underestimate walking. Listen to music or an audio book! Call a friend and get to steppin!
Water. The more you avoid water the more water your body is going to hold on to. It thinks you are dying so it’s holding on to everything for dear life.
Drink more water!!! Headache? Drink water. Cravings? Drink water.
Protein. Oh my god protein!!!! My body also drastically started to change when I made it a non-negotiable that every plate had to have 30g of protein MINIMUM!!!!!! Every day I eat 100g of protein MINIMUM!!!! Your body has to work to break down protein so your body burns calories when you eat protein. Win win. You also stay satisfied longer!! You don’t waste muscle mass while dropping pounds and you wont be a soggy noodle! If protein confused you I deep dive into this topic of how to calculate, weigh, track and increase protein in my wellness guide. I made you videos about it!
Patience. It didn’t take you 1 month to gain the weight so stop making yourself believe you’re gonna lose it in 1 month. It took me almost a year to drop 88 pounds. It’s been on maintenance mode and building muscle now! It’s a process. Stop putting an expiration date on your weightloss. You are making changes for life. 👏👏♥️ enjoy the process.

Embarking on a weight loss journey can be daunting, but small, manageable steps pave the way to success. One fundamental aspect is the power of walking—committing to 10,000 steps daily revitalizes your metabolism and enhances calorie burning. Don't underestimate the simplicity of this exercise; bring along some uplifting music or an interesting podcast, making it enjoyable rather than a chore. Hydration is also crucial; drinking adequate water helps regulate your body and aids digestion. Aim to drink water before meals to prevent overeating and curb cravings. A well-hydrated body is better equipped to shed excess weight and maintain overall health. Furthermore, the right nutrition is key in any fitness transformation. Consuming a protein-rich diet not only supports muscle retention while losing weight but also keeps you feeling fuller longer. Strive for a minimum of 100g of protein daily, integrating diverse sources like lean meats, legumes, and dairy into your meals. Lastly, patience is vital. Weight loss is a progressive journey—not a race. Setting realistic goals and timelines can prevent discouragement and promote sustainability. Remember, changing habits for life is more important than the number on the scale. Celebrate both small victories and the overall journey for a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
