Update June 2015: Hi, Just wanted to update you all! I’ve lost 15 lbs since you shared my story back in November 2013. I’ve been working on gaining muscle now, so hopefully I’ll have a six pack by continuing my weight training. This was all done with no surgeries. To be honest I did reach a standstill where I didn’t think I could lose anymore weight or gain muscle and I became frustrated. Then I asked myself, “Are you really doing everything that you could possibly do? Are you really pushing yourself to the max?” So, I’ve joined a gym and I treat the gym like my second home. I starting lifting along with cardio workouts. I’m there 5 days a week. When they say that this journey is not just a diet, it it’s a lifestyle change…that true. It’s all mind over matter
Today’s featured weight loss success story:Â Krystina lost 103 pounds. Â This weight loss dynamo chronicles her weight loss journey on Instagram and it is IMPRESSIVE. Â Here is what she shared with us:
I’ve gone from 265 pounds to 142 pounds without surgery! Â I’ve been overweight ever since I can remember. It’s always been a struggle. One time my mother bought me Slim Fast for a birthday gift. On November 30 2012, I looked in the mirror and just cried. Â I cried like a little baby because I wasn’t happy with the person that I saw. That’s the moment I decided to finally lose weight. I started eating lean meat, fruits, and veggies. I also started and completed one round of the insanity workout. Believe it or not, I started noticing results the first week. It’s been one hell of a roller coaster experience, but it’s worth every bit of the frustration, tears, and sweat. You can see my weight loss journey on my instagram: @together_wecan

Hey Shelly,
I just had a relationship end a few days ago that I was in for a little over a year and watched myself put on 30lbs and I already had about 30 to lose. Now I’m about 70 pounds overweight. I can fell the extra weight, the loss of energy. I shouldn’t have gotten involved with the man to begin with. I’m going to look in the mirror today and smile and not be sad cause today is the day WE start taking the weight off. It won’t be easy but the smile lets me know that I know I can do it. Shelley, I think we can do this. If you need to vent or talk, send me an email. toniasb612@gmail.com
I would say good luck but instead, I’m going to say . . .”Much Success To You.”
Tonia
