Weight Loss Success Story: Inspiring Before and After 

This video shares my weight loss transformation and how I naturally loss weight and belly fat. For women over 40, weight loss gets harder but if you are consistent with exercise and diet, you’ll lose weight. I’m not the cleanest eater; however, I’ve learned ways to manage my weight to improve my health, running, and heart. 

Motivation 

Hiding belly fat rolls poking through my clothes was miserable. My self-image plummeted and I didn’t feel good no matter how I dressed. Gaining 27 pounds bruised my ego. The photo below from September 2019 had me in tears because I couldn’t fit any of my race shirts and looked awful. Suffering from Achilles tendinitis, I couldn’t run and loss motivation to exercise.⁣ ⁣Dazed in the mirror, I pledged to start living a healthy lifestyle and get into shape. I woke up the next morning and searched Instagram for a personal trainer. The next week I was in the gym working out with my personal trainer. 

September 2019

After 5 months of working out and eating properly, by February 2020 I was able to fit ALL my race shirts. I loss belly fat and there was a significant change in body form. Having a personal trainer assisted with my weight loss transformation and is part of my self-care plan. He keeps me motivated and accountable while helping to improve the quality of my life.
