Kimberly lost 42 pounds

by 5 Comments

Weight Loss Transformation of the Day: Kimberly lost 42 pounds, and went from a size 22 to a size 10. Her transformation has also reduced her arthritis pain. She turned 50 years old in 2015 and wants to be an inspiration to women over 40. She shared with us about how she did it.

kimberly before and after

Hi, my name is Kimberley Crawford Sprowl and I would like to share my weight loss story. I started my fitness journey at the end of December 2014. I was going to be turning 50 years old in May of the following year (May 17 2015). I knew I needed to accomplish something major for myself to prove to myself that I could do it. I am inspired by so many of the amazing women over the age of 40 who have choose to take control of their health and make changes for the better. I keep going because I want to be one of those amazing women who are able to encourage others to be the best form of themselves that they can possibly be. I feel the only way I can do that is to be the best form of myself I can be.

I changed my eating habits by switching to a high protein, low carb eating lifestyle instead of the very high carb, high fat eating lifestyle I was on. I allow myself one cheat meal a week in which I allow myself to eat anything I want. I stick to that very strictly. So with the exception of that ONE meal a week, I don’t eat any refined sugars, breads or processed foods. My eating lifestyle is ever evolving as I learn more about my body and about what works and doesn’t work for me.

I had an amazing trainer who did a combination of cardio and strength training. I worked out with his Fitcamp group three days a week. We did some running after every workout, which was very challenging to me as I have severe arthritis and suffer from some joint pain. My weight loss and muscle strengthening has helped a lot with reducing my arthritis pain. Some days we danced and some days we did step aerobics. We also do some weight training. The workouts were ALWAYS challenging and fun.

My starting weight was 222 pounds. As of today, I weigh 180 pounds. I went from a size 22 to a size 10. I am 5′ 6″ tall. My transformation is ongoing as my goal size is 8. It has been a little over a year so far, time wise.

The best advice I have for anyone wanting to lose weight is to start immediately, get help and find a fitness buddy.

Manasha lost 38 pounds

by 1 Comment

Transformation of the Day: Manasha lost 38 pounds. This proud mom lost the weight after giving birth but once she returned to work and her normal schedule, tons of stress led to gaining all the weight back. She had to come up with a game plan for a true lifestyle change, and key to that was prayer and clean eating. Check out what she shared with us.

manasha before and after

Hello, my name is Manasha Beckwith and I figured I’d share my success story thus far! So, as you can see in the middle is a picture of me below, I weighed 204 pounds (not pregnant)! After I gave birth, 9 months ago, I breast fed, ate clean, and worked out daily! I dropped down to 173 pounds!

When I went back to work, I stopped EVERYTHING (healthy eating, fitness, breastfeeding) and experienced tons of stress from many areas of my life! I gained every pound back, literally! So, I decided that enough was enough! I started eating clean again and working out (almost daily), but most importantly I prayed my way through my journey! I couldn’t do this without the help of God!

I began changing my eating habits by not only eating less but also by making healthier choices. In the mornings, I eat low fat Greek yogurt and apples. Sometimes I substitute that for a homemade green smoothie. For lunch, I eat a salad almost every day. I mix spinach, kale, raisins and balsamic dressing. I rarely eat meat more than twice a week. For dinner, I eat steamed veggies and baked fish. I only drink water for my choice of beverage.

I began working out at a park near my house. I then joined a gym and a Crossfit class with my co-worker. Today, I’m in boot camp at the Brec Park in Baton Rouge, LA and I work out at least 3 times a week. My workouts are intense. If I’m not drenched in sweat, I’m not working out hard enough, lol.

My starting weight was 207 pounds. Today I weigh 169 pounds and my goal is 140lbs. I’m 5’0″ ft. tall.  I want to gain 10 extra pounds of muscle mass, which will bring me to around 150 lbs. So far, I’m pleased. I do want to lose the fat around my knees ASAP (I hate it), and my lower belly fat (which they say I really can’t because of my past 3 C- sections ). Overall, My upper belly is flat and I love my butt and thighs. My arms and face have both slimmed down. My transformation has taken 6 months so far. I believe eating right has played the biggest part in my journey.

The best advice I can give is to others is to pray everyday over your body. Ask God to help you, because before I prayed for help I was doing it on my own and I failed every time. Also, drinking water daily plays a huge part as well. Don’t give up on yourself. I make small goals, 5 lbs here and there. It’s a life change!

I am very proud of myself and will continue doing what it takes to accomplish my goals. I’m not trying to be super skinny, but I do want to tone up and trim down some of my fatty areas. My husband would just die if I lost his favorite ASSets.

Weight Loss Story: Nashona lost 120 pounds. This proud wife and mom of 3 would not let chest pains, hypertension and high blood pressure stop her. She changed her eating habits and cut out sodas and juices to lose the pounds. Check out what she shared with us about her journey.

nashona before and after

My name is Nashona H. and I’m a 36 year old wife and mother of 3. My motivation is to live. I was diagnosed with hypertension and high blood pressure. I would get heavy tightness in my chest weekly. The doctors always told me that I had to lose weight or I would not be here to see my beautiful babies grow up. What truly inspired me was the Lord, Christ Jesus, who’s love remained with me. No matter how tough the trials were, he never left my side.

I changed my eating habits by eating less, and by not drinking sodas or juices. I only drink herbal tea, detox tea (Herbalife) and a gallon of water daily. I drink lemon water when I get up and have apple cider vinegar at lunch. I also replace 2 meals a day with protein shakes.

I also stopped eating all starches and if I craved it I only ate wheat bread in very small portions. I always eat a lot of protein. I do not eat after 7 pm and if I do it is only veggies. I also use chia seeds to help me feel fuller. I eat Subway when I have take out, eating only wheat bread, tuna and vegetables with no sauce.

I did not exercise regularly. I only parked further from where I needed to go. I also walked to the park with my kids instead of driving. I’m happier and healthier. I have more energy and no more high blood pressure. I feel lighter and I no longer have chest pains. I sleep better too.

My starting weight was 330 pounds and I wore a size 22 and XXXL tops (height: 5’8″). Now, I weigh 210 pounds and wear a size 15 juniors size/size 10 women. It took me 7 months to loose my first 70 lbs. The next 40 lbs took about 7 months more. I was determined to win and get this weight off.

To lose weight you must be focused, disciplined and determined. Always have healthy snacks handy and drink a lot of water. Stop eating sweets, starches, fast foods and fried foods. Eat fruit and veggies or take Alive. Don’t drink sodas and do not eat after 7pm. Drink lots of herbal tea, and detox to let it out (do not keep it in). Encourage yourself. You can do it.

Weight Loss Story: Martecka lost 54 pounds. Her grandmother’s decision to lose weight was her inspiration. With healthier eating habits, regular exercise and commitment to her goal, she was able to lose the pounds. Check out what she shared with us…

martecka before and after

My name is Manteca. I was motivated to start my weight loss journey by my grandmother, after she made the decision to start losing weight. At the beginning of my journey, I cut out sugary drinks. From there, I cut out pork and beef. I only ate turkey, chicken and fish. I also started eating more vegetables and fruits. For exercise, I worked out 6 days a week. I stared with weight training and from there added cardio training.

My highest weight was 302 pounds. As of August 2014, I weighed 292 pounds. From then to now, I reached my current weight of 248 pounds, for a total loss of 54 pounds. My goal is to get down to 190 pounds and my height is 5’7″.

I am still working hard to reach my goal. The only advice I can give to others who want to lose weight is that it never matters how many times you have tried and failed, as long as you keep trying.

Christian lost 110 pounds

by 2 Comments

Weight Release Journey: Christian lost 110 pounds. She lacked self confidence, self love and realized that her eating habits weren’t healthy. This blogger learned how to lose weight the healthy way and now she’s sharing her story and love for cycling with the world. Check out what she shared with us.

christian before and after

I started losing weight back in 2011-2012 and lost 100lbs naturally, with no surgery or pills. I did it after college, as I wanted to be accepted in the world and date, as I had not done that during college. In the Summer of 2012, I went very hard in the gym and stopped caring about doing things healthy. I wouldn’t eat, took crazy amounts of pre workout and did 2 hour+ workouts daily. My body stopped responding and for a year my weight ballooned back up.

In Summer 2014, I lost my job and was really hating myself and the people I surrounded myself with contributed to that. However, I wanted to get back to being healthy again, so I started my process over.

As of Summer 2015, I’d re-lost my 100 pounds. I have true confidence in myself and actually love myself, as I’m a beast. I also fell in love with indoor cycle and created The Plush Cyclist, a blog about fitness, motivation and beauty from the plus(h) perspective.

My goal is to motivate, inspire and educate all on how to take their lives into their hands and make themselves better. Health is wealth and it has saved my life. I didn’t feel like I deserved greatness, but as I lost/ released weight, other baggage went away too. Now, I see me as the beauty I always was.

How did you change your eating habits?
I started by dropping the things that I knew weren’t good for me, such as fried foods, sugary drinks and things that just didn’t make me feel good. I then replaced those items with foods that gave me life, such as salads, fresh fruits and loads of water.

What did your workout routines look like?
When I lost 100lbs the 1st time, I didn’t really have a plan. I joined the Y and started working out 3-4 times a weeks twice a day. I would do a ton of cardio and then, some how, I found myself in the weight area. I have always liked weights, as I loved the feel of becoming stronger. With my background, I never felt strong and I wanted to be so much. Now, after losing 100lbs again, I fallen in love with indoor cycle so much that I am now a certified cycle instructor. On a good workout day, I will do either indoor cycle or something crazy: I’ll do the Stairmaster for 30 minutes followed by lifting weights.

What was your starting weight? What is your current weight?
As embarrassing as it is to write, I started out 360 lbs and I currently weigh 250 lbs. I still have about another 100 lbs to lose. I’m 5’6″ tall.

What advice do you have for others who want to lose weight?
For anyone who wants to lose weight: Figure out your why and focus on that. Make sure that your reasons are pure and you will be succeed. Enjoy the journey and don’t get so bogged down by wanting to be a certain weight so that you can show off for social media, for a man or any reason other than health. When I first started losing weight, I wanted to be with a man so badly and I felt so horrid that I went to extremes. I didn’t go out with friends, I put myself down and never appreciated how far I came naturally. I was always envious of those who could drop weight easy and get all the praise for looking good. Losing weight will make you become mentally sharp and help you become stronger as a person. I also have removed dead weight, be it people or things, from my life. As hard as it may have been to do so, I know that I deserve better because I have taken an active approach to my health.

Weight Loss Transformation of the Day: Shakeyta lost 105 pounds. Her weight was putting a strain on her body and she make the decision to commit to change. With lots of hard work and the support of her husband, she has been able to transform herself over the last 4 years with simple, straight forward changes. Here is what she shared with us…

shakeyta before and after

I weighed 280 pounds and it was putting a strain on my body. I knew that I had to do something and do it fast. I made the decision to change my life and that’s what I did. I changed my eating habits, started keeping track of what I ate and how much I ate daily. I also made it a priority to hit the gym everyday and reach a daily calorie burn goal. Through hard work and support of my husband, I accomplished my goal. I now weigh 175 pounds and I’m still working hard to keep the weight off. (height: 5’9″)

My motivation was my health, my family, and myself. I had sleep apnea, which truly scared me. When I wanted to give up, I just prayed a little harder.

I changed my food intake and overall diet. I don’t eat fried foods or drink sodas. I eat salad, fish, baked chicken breast, and I bake a lot in general. My goal is portion control.

I do a lot of walking and running. I also have The Biggest Loser on Xbox Kinect, which I love. I workout every morning for about 2 hours.

It took me about 4 years to get where I am today. I have tried every diet pill, but in the end I would just put the weight back on with that method, so I decided to do this the rite way. For anyone that is trying to lose weight, I would say, “Don’t give up. If you do, get back up and go again.” Remember, it’s a process and it takes time.

Nadia lost 73 pounds

by 1 Comment

Transformation Story of the Day: Nadia lost 73 pounds. She has struggled with her weight since childhood and tried lots of plans to lose the pounds. After using a restrictive diet to transform her body for a bodybuilding competition, the pounds came back after the diet ended. Now, lifting weights and counting macros with flexible dieting has allowed her transform her body once again. Here is what she shared with us…

nadia before and after

I have struggled with my weight since I hit puberty. I gained a lot of weight quickly and started a cycle that had me trying every diet and weight loss fad you can imagine. You name it, I tried it: Atkins, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig… the list seems never ending!

In November 2011, I met the man who would later become my husband and everything changed. Suddenly, I wasn’t trying to lose weight for aesthetic purposes. I wanted to get healthy so I could live a great life with this amazing guy! I started watching what I ate and working out at home with DVD workout programs. When I gained enough confidence, I joined a gym. I also started running a road race once a month. My husband even joined in and ran a few races with me.

I wanted to take things to the next level, so I hired a coach to help me prep for a Bodybuilding/Bikini competition for my 30th birthday in 2013. I went on a crazy restricted diet, consisting of only chicken, tilapia, brown rice, oatmeal, veggies, peanut butter and rice cakes. No salt and no sugar. I lost a ton of weight, but it wasn’t in the healthiest fashion. My hormones were messed up and I had binging episodes from restricting myself. I got down to 127 lbs the day of my show and was very proud of myself, but as soon as the competition ended and I went back to eating normally. I gained back all the weight I had lost and then some. I realized that I had to reevaluate my situation and get my situation back on the right path.

Since 2014, I’ve adopted a flexible diet. That means I do not restrict myself and eat whatever I want as long as it fits my nutritional goals. Using If It Fit Your Macros has helped me with my binge tendencies because I no longer crave things. If I want to eat something, I do it in moderation and make it fit.

I also am an advocate of weight lifting. A lot of women are afraid to lift heavy weights for fear they’ll look “manly” or “bulky”. Ladies don’t be afraid to lift! I am currently deadlifting 205 lbs and squatting 160 lbs with hopes to go up! Weights are your friend! I lift 5 days a week for 1 -1 1/2 hrs. I also don’t do a lot of cardio because I don’t want to lose all the amazing muscle I’ve built. If I do cardio it’s usually HIIT (high intensity interval training) and no more than 30 mins a day.

My heaviest weight was in 2010, when I stopped checking the scale, but it was upwards of 200 lbs. My lowest weight was onstage at 127 pounds. I don’t have a goal weight but am planning on competing again in 2016 using flexible dieting. I’m currently reverse dieting which means I’m upping my calories with minimal weight gain and I’m 170 lbs right now at 5’4″ tall.

My advice for others who are trying to lose weight is to remember that it’s a marathon not a sprint. You did not gain all the weight in one day and you’re not going to lose it in a day. Take it one day at a time and do your best. If you hit a bump in the road, don’t quit. Just shake it off and try to be better the next day. Find something that is sustainable for you. I was doing very restricted “clean eating” and it wasn’t sustainable. I would do well for a month at a time and then have a major binge and eat everything in sight. That is counterproductive. Now, I eat whatever I want and make it a lifestyle, not a quick fix. I currently eat burgers, cookies, pizza, potato chips and a glass of wine or two if I feel like it. I also eat baked chicken, brussel sprouts, and brown rice as well. Everything in moderation!

I’m currently studying to become a personal trainer so I can pay it forward and help others reach their fitness goals. I’m a Prosupps Transformation ambassador and I can be found on social media via Facebook at www.facebook.com/NadiaExama on Instagram and Twitter @tough_as_nads and on Snapchat: ToughNads. My blog is a work in progress but is www.nemfitness.com

Esther lost 111 pounds

by Leave a Comment

Weight Loss Transformation of the Day: Esther lost 111 pounds. Our sista from Zimbabwe experienced weight gain over the years and didn’t take notice until she faced health challenges. After suffering with debilitating and embarrassing bowel issues, she did her research and changed her lifestyle to lose the pounds and get healthy. Here is what she shared with us about her journey.

esther before and after

My name is Esther and I’m from Zimbabwe. My weight loss journey started in 2012, but I fell off the wagon and I gained again for a year and a half. I started again in a serious way towards end of April 2014. Had it not been for the serious health challenges that I encountered, I wouldn’t be the way l am today and wouldn’t have realized I needed to lose weight. I knew very well that I was overweight. I was use to being told to do something about my weight by almost all the doctors that I consulted with, but I had silly excuses to defend my state.

I grew up being a very skinny, tall girl. The biggest size I wore was size 32 (UK size). I started gaining weight a few weeks after my marriage and told myself that it’s very normal to pick up weight while nesting. I felt it was normal to even gain more with pregnancy and that it was a sign of good living. Besides, everyone in my family is big, so I got the genes from my family.

When I was pregnant, I remember resorting to tailor made maternity dresses because I could not fit dresses in most shops. After giving birth, I’d gone from a size 28-30 that I was before marriage to a size 40. Then it went on and on, until I reached size 46-48 and that’s when my health got bad. I watched my health getting worse every single day and saw so many danger signals and warnings that I did not bother attending to. I fed myself with so much poison. I was just not prepared to start a new lifestyle, especially changing the type of food I was eating that I loved so much. l went to hospitals and visited different doctors with due to my health challenges. When they said anything that had to do with my weight, I would immediately switch to another doctor and continue with my usual lifestyle. That was the case until my body started fighting back and throwing different kinds of sicknesses at me. Most of them were life threatening.

I survived 13 Surgeries (5 Laparoscopies and 8 Laparotomies). In April 2012, just after my 10th surgery, I weighed 125.5 kg (276.6 pounds). My Gynaecologist decided to refer me to a Nutritionist, but I didn’t follow the eating plans I was given and was not consistent at all. However, within the following 2 months, I was on her eating program. I lost 10kgs (22 lbs) which I gradually gained back when I stopped the program. Also, I’d accepted constipation to be part of my everyday life, it got to a point where l was not worried at all with it. I resorted to self medicating myself with different types of laxatives which could work for a short time. Eventually, my system ended up not responding to any laxative. I hated drinking water so much and could hardly finish just a glass a day. I loved fizzy drinks and loved eating oily, refined or sweet foods and junk foods.

Fast forward to the beginning of 2013: I had a bowel obstruction, my intestines stopped working completely and I ended up having to live for the whole year with a colostomy bag. Okay, now I was squeezed in a corner to choose life or death. The wisest thing I could do was to admit that I needed to do something about my weight and start taking action. Having to live with the pouch is not something that I would wish for anyone. I completely lost myself due to the frustration and stress. The humiliation was just unbearable. This was my turning point.

After the reversal of the pouch, my action plan was to start a new journey. My surgeon had warned me that the chances of the condition coming back are very high, judging from his experiences with other patients that had the condition. Just imagining having that pouch again was reason enough to push me to start the new journey.

In 2014 April, I started with the 13 Day Metabolism diet, weighing 117.9kgs (260 lbs). I decided to stop eating sugar and stopped drinking tea, fizzy drinks and juices. I struggled to stop eating starch and would fall off the wagon, but I’d pick up where I left off and carry on. I eventually managed to eat right more than 85% of the time. I googled and learned that knowing your blood type and eating according to your type helps and it definitely worked a great deal for me. According to my blood type, wheat is like poison, so I stopped eating bread and most of the foods that contains wheat.

I joined the gym and fell in love with running,  skipping and exercising in general. I became very active, going to the gym at least 3 days a week for at least 30 min to an hour and a hal. If I’m not going to the gym, I exercise at home by either running, skipping or doing cardio. I also joined a number of weight loss groups on Facebook. Now, I do a lot of research on how to live a healthy lifestyle.

Currently this is the food that I eat; veggies & fruits, boiled eggs, meat in moderation (boiled or grilled) and fruits & veggie smoothies. I drink more than 3litres of plain water
or warm water with lemon every day. I also drink sugarless green tea. The reason why I
drink so much water is because I sweat a lot. Meals: I make sure to have my breakfast (fruits most of the times or boiled eggs), lunch, supper and healthy snacks in between my meals. If I feel like spoiling myself or eating out, l don’t go to just any food outlet. I choose restaurants where I will be able to order what I like and not just buy what’s
already prepared. If I feel like having a heavy meal, instead of eating mealie pap, I replace it with butternut, sweet potato or red rice. That works perfectly for me. There are certain foods that if I try to eat I now get stomach cramps, so I know that specific foods aren’t good for me at all.

This is my lifestyle now. No quick fixes for me, because I do not want to go back to my old self. Yes, it hasn’t been a smooth road, but I can say that I have managed to control and manage my cravings and I do not regret the decision that I’ve made. It’s actually one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. I am a free and happy individual. I am now a fit, confident woman and a living testimony.

I survived the worst only by grace, therefore I don’t take waking up and breathing for granted. I have thought of a way to encourage other women in my area to live healthily and fit. I’ve started a Netball Club and I have plans to visit hospitals and encourage women that are going through what I went through.

It is possible and doable to live a new life and be a better, healthier and happy woman if you are willing to change your lifestyle. I haven’t reached my desired goal yet but I am definitely not the person I was before. From 125kgs in 2012, I am now 75kgs (165 pounds, height: 5’5″) and hoping to reach my goal of 65kgs soon (143 pounds). Don’t wait until you get sick as I did because not everyone survives what I went through. Most people were not given a second chance to live again and tell their stories as I am doing now. I value the 2nd chance that God gave me.

Do it for yourself not for the person next to you or your family. Love yourself 1st, then others will learn from you. Value life so much that you love and treat your body as a special and precious gift. You are the manager of your life and you can choose to abuse/destroy it or build it.
