UGW: Whatever makes me happy :)

I always felt really sluggish and down when I wasn’t eating well or exercising. Every night was a a binge and every morning I felt bad and gross. To lose my weight, I first changed my eating habits to be really strict (No meat, NO processed or denatured foods like sweets and cakes and no refined foods) I would always start my day with hot green tea and lemon juice, and then go do yoga. This was every other day. Three times a week I got up, drank a glass of water, and went running, no questions asked. I began with the couch to 5k program, which was really helpful to get fitness up. From there, I would run and walk for fifteen minutes to warm up and then for 30 minutes just keep running at a comfortable pace. Oh yeah, and LESS STRESS! Stress made me gain like nuts, so just chill out and dont worry, change will come. Took me like, 8 weeks. 

So yeah, all it took was a clean diet, running three times a week in the mornings, and yoga every night and every other morning, just quickly if I didn’t have time. 

Stop counting calories, stop stressing and ignore everything you have read, which I am sure are countless articles. Just trust the process. It isn’t rocket science.

My mother and myself! 4 years of hard work for both us

Well not sure about my mother. But I'm 6'3 start weight about 295ish there and I'm around 190 now, 19 in before pic and 22 in the after.

My mom is 52 now so she was 48. We have been about 600 miles apart for the majority of the last 4 years

"Well as far as diet I just follow the "insanity" meal plan provided with that program and limit myself to the first 3 tiers they provide. As far as working out I started by just lifting weights and running. Then when I dropped about 50lbs. I did Insanity for the full 60 days and followed it to the letter including meals. Finished that about 5 months ago, since then just back hitting the weights/running."

I lost 30 pounds in 3 months by eating un-processed clean foods, such as fruits, vegetables and lean meats and grains. I didn't diet, I changed my eating habits to a maintainable lifestyle. I don’t count calories, however I eat roughly 300 calorie meals every few hours. For exercise, I run 5 days/week.

Height: 163 cm SW: 96,5 KG CW: 77,8 KG GW: ?? When I feel healthy and happy :)

The before picture was taken a little over a year ago, when I spent a year in America. I was heavy before that, but I gained at least about 5 kilos. I was at the heaviest I’d ever been, but didn’t see a problem with it. Mostly I was convincing myself that I didn’t have a problem with it. 

The reason why I didn’t want to lose weight and sabotaged myself was because I was terrified of getting breast reductive surgery. If my BMI was under 30, the insurance would cover it. 

When I got back to my own country I lost about 6 kg by just eating healthier food than in America. I still ate way too much though, my mom was trying to push me into dieting but I didn’t want to. 

In January this year I decided that I had enough. My back hurt 24/7 and I couldn’t even do normal things simply because my breasts were too big. I started eating way healthier, stopped eating bread for the most part, started eating less. I didn’t exercise much aside from riding my bike to places, this because my back can’t handle much.

I’ve certainly had my ups and downs, but in the last 4 months I lost around 12 kg. Now with a BMI under 30 my surgery is scheduled in 2.5 months! I was and still am terrified of cameras, hence just the face comparison. However, I believe you can certainly see my progress! Still not done yet though!

Honestly, everyone says it - but if I can do it, so can you. Believe in yourself, because I certainly do :)

I took me almost 3 years to feel kinda feminine and comfy in a dress. Getting there ;)

My prom was may 2011 and I was at my highest weight, around 117kgs, and now i’m around 83kgs. height is 173cm 

I started my weight loss journey January 2012, but I had a lot of “breaks” and set backs and months filled with demotivation. Most of my weight came off i the first months. All I did is: eat healthy and enough, workout at home, in nature or at the gym, staying motivated and optimistic. I still have a long way to go, although, I don’t have a goal weight, nor a goal body, I do want to work more on shaping up my body and becoming stronger. Recently started lifting weights, and I’m in love with the results. :) 

All of you keep me motivated! Stay strong, stay awesome xxx

---BeforeANDafterWeightLoss- You've always looked feminine in a dress. Fyi: 34kg = 76 pounds. 

Height: 5 foot 4

HW: 195

It took me 275 days of clean eating and exercising 5 days a week to get to this point! I’m hoping to hit my goal of 125-130 in the next few months.
