Losing 88 pounds. ⬇️ SECRETS✨

I know you don’t want to hear this but diets will leave you frustrated and back at square 1.

I’ve been overweight. Exhausted. Sad. Mad. Frustrated!!!

Those days are gone & we’re not going back.

The “secrets” that helped me lose the 88 pounds and get into the best shape of my life was to stick to the basics & unlearn basically everything I thought was right.

I learned how many macros or calories my body needed. Underrating is not the way! It won’t be sustainable!

I learned what makes our bodies puff up with inflammation and hold onto fat 🤮

I started to walk. Yep. At my heaviest I wasn’t going to step into a gym. I wasn’t there mentally so I started to walk. Walk walk walk walk. Stop underestimating walking.

I stopped drinking my calories. 500 calorie coffee? No thanks. I rather eat a 500 Calorie BURGER with 30g++ of protein that’ll keep me full and happy.

I found substitutes for everything I loved. Restaurant meals? I hacked them and made it my own. I even found a swap for chikfila 🙃

We’re so happy with the meals at home that we’ve saved SOOOOO much money and we rarely ever go out to eat because it’s just so much better at home.

I’m not saying we never do. We still do, maybe 1 time a week if that. But even then I have found ways to order food that doesn’t ruin all the work I’ve done.

Again this is a life style so I wasn’t looking for a quick fix since I’ve seen what those do to me.

If you want a break down of my entire journey I’ve got the wellness ebook linked in my bio!

Losing weight sustainably requires more than just a diet; it's about creating lasting habits. To kickstart your weight loss journey, focus on adjusting your dietary macro balance and understanding portion sizes. Learning to identify foods that cause inflammation can significantly aid in fat loss. Incorporating simple exercises, like walking, into your routine can also make a substantial difference, especially if you're beginning your fitness journey. Alongside meal prep strategies to replace calorie-heavy drinks with nutritious substitutes, consider making mindful choices when dining out. This can help you enjoy your favorite meals without sacrificing your progress. Lastly, staying informed and connected with others who share similar goals, like participating in online communities or reading fitness literature, can provide valuable support and motivation. Embracing this journey means understanding that it's about lifestyle, not temporary fixes. When you shift your mindset to long-term wellness, the journey becomes not just about losing weight but gaining a healthier, happier life.
