My Weight Loss Jouney: From 240lbs to 165lbs
This is a collection of photos from my junior year in high school until March 2013. I would say that my journey didn't begin until after I graduated from college. My heaviest weight was about 240lbs and now I'm at 165lbs! I went from a size 22 to a size 10! I don't necessarily have a set weight goal that I am trying to reach. I just want my body to be medically healthy.
Most, if not all, of my weight loss is attributed to being active and changing my diet. In college I ate whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. I didn't really care too much about what I was eating. During my freshman year I tried to kick up a healthy lifestyle but I quickly fell to the waist side. LITERALLY! It wasn't until after I graduated college that I really began to understand how important it was to take care of my body. So I started walking each day until I could bring myself up to jog then run. I have been running since October 2010 (when I joined AmeriCorps) starting with 17 minute miles to now I'm running 8 minute miles.
In January of 2011 I was diagnosed with Celiacs Disease which changed my diet completely. I know that the diagnoses played a major role in the changes but I would still fully give all the credit to daily exercise and staying active.
I continue the same routine today that I started in 2010. That's work out 4 to 5 days out of the week. No matter if its hitting the gym, going for a run or dancing around my apartment (if the weather is bad). I live in NYC now so walking is always the case. I also continue to eat a gluten free diet. Although I hate it! lol
I hope you enjoyed my pictures and be on the look out for an up to date weight loss news!
