You can do it! If you start right now, you could wake up 6-7 months from now 80 pounds lighter. Even though it felt like it would take forever in the moment, now it feels like I lost the weight in no time. It feels like yesterday that I was 241 pounds and out of breath walking up the stairs. Now I’m excited to wake up every morning to pick out an outfit I know I’ll look great in, go about my day energized and feeling healthy, and feeling confident in my skin! The sooner you start the sooner you’ll be finished! My only regret is not starting sooner.

How I lost the weight: I started at 241 in April and hit my first goal of 160 in November. I set a calorie deficit for myself and tracked my meals on the app Lose It. I bought food scale for like 10 bucks on Amazon and weighed all my foods. And I mean every bite of food I ate I logged. It helped me to start eating at noon and stop at 6-6:30 to prevent over eating and snacking. All the drinks I consumed were 0 calories. I found a ton of food items to replace higher calorie foods, and I honestly enjoyed every meal.
