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, was vitamin D deficient and had really low calcium and 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.
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.
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!
