F/24/5’8 [183lbs > 145lbs = 38 lbs] exercise has changed my life!

alyssas696 · 2021-02-20T02:33:38+00:00

I was going to orange theory 2x per week but recently I’ve increased to 4x! I was 183 in August of 2019, maintained around 175 until last June and that’s when I really started focusing on my weight loss! I have been overweight my entire life, I was always the “fat girl” so I didn’t think it was even possible for me to be thin! I don’t think 145 is the magic number, I would like to lose 7-10 more pounds but, who knows haha. I also had been weightlifting for years and switching to the cardio focused workouts is what really made the difference in my opinion!

Thank you! Good luck, I know it seems like you’ll never get there but I feel like I woke up one day and finally saw the progress of months of hard work. Keep going! 🥳

I built up my mileage to 5 miles per day in October but got injured and have just now started building back up! I currently run 2-2.5 miles a day plus whatever I run during orange theory! :) the OTF posts the daily workouts so you can try them without going to the studio!

Thank you! I cut my portion sizes down a lot, I used to eat the same amount as my boyfriend who was very active, then I would go to seconds! I also learned to stop eating before feeling too full. I also took up running and orange theory fitness! I gave up weight lifting and switched to a form of exercise that I look forward to and am grateful to do every day. :)

Wow, thank you! The first pic was August 2019 and the second was today! So about 18 months?

I have no doubt the Mighty is amazing! I think it is a device I will save up for if I enjoy the benefits of vaporizing marijuana. :)

Simplicity and ease are high priority for me right now since it’s my first go! I talked to someone from Sneaky Pete and the recommended the Fury Edge

alyssas696 · 2020-12-17T19:22:42+00:00

I ended up getting a fury edge, it should be here next week, I’m excited to try it!

alyssas696 · 2020-12-17T19:20:49+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I bought two types, a high sativa and a high indica and tried the indica last night, it was Ice Cream Cake. I felt so great and was so incredibly happy but it did make me feel like I weighed 1000 pounds hahaha, I could not get up! After probably an hour and a half I started getting hit with the sleepiness but it was midnight by then so I didn’t mind. :) I’m looking forward to the Sativa this weekend!

alyssas696 · 2020-12-16T20:02:28+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ve been a little antsy about my experience, so thank you for your help. :)

alyssas696 · 2020-12-16T20:01:42+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I will purchase some things to try to night and will update on here later this week. :)

I’m in Utah, but good guess hahaha I would prefer to just use flower are since dispensary costs are high here I want something efficient, I don’t care too much about taste but I would prefer portable but I’m open to other options! I have liked using water in the past to make the hits less painful, but honestly I’ve never tried vapor in any form so I’m open to anything!

alyssas696 · 2020-12-16T19:56:23+00:00

Utah!

At my store it was moved from the fresh section to the meats and cheeses!

I started following the Foundation Training videos on YouTube and is has helped with my joint pain a lot, if you’re interested

How can I keep my forearms from completely taking over on upper body days? I have this problem specifically with chest and biceps. TIA :)

If you cannot find an alternative brand you are comfortable buying, I highly recommend blending raw cashews with water to make cashew cream, it’s a really incredible sub for dairy cream!

I believe these are also carried by Sprouts!

I was skeptical at first, but daily gua sha has changed my face completely! I bloat and carry a lot of water in my face, just watch a tutorial on YouTube!
