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: Krystina lost 103 pounds. This weight loss dynamo chronicles her weight loss journey on Instagram and it is IMPRESSIVE. Here is what she shared with us:

I’ve gone from 265 pounds to 142 pounds without surgery! 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. 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
