235 lbs to 205 lbs
A couple years ago I was 280. I dropped down to 235-240 and got stuck. All I had changed was my diet. I still felt unhealthy, and felt like I didn’t see much difference in my body.
A couple months ago I hired a trainer and began working out with weights. I’m still not as consistent as I’d like to be, but am getting there. I was reflecting on my progress and here are some wins!
1. First day of training I could barely hold a 20 second plank. I can now do a 60 second forearm plank.

- I was bicep curling 5 lb dumbbells. Now I curl 20lbs. I did box jumps on an 18 inch platform the other day, a few months ago I was scared to use the 6 inch platform.
- Still don’t have awesome running endurance, but I could barely jog for a minute 3 months ago. Now I can jog easily for 8-10 minutes before I give up.
- I feel much firmer and toned. And my resting heart rate is down to 53 bpm from 85bpm.
- Most importantly... I’m LOVING MYSELF! Buying cute clothes when in the past I covered up with baggy sweatshirts and sweatpants. I used to feel like I wasn’t worthy to take up space and basically apologized for my existence. No longer. I feel so proud, and can’t wait to continue this journey!
