Alright everyone, sharing my journey! I went from a size 18 to a size 6, losing a little over 100 pounds. My workout style? Think intense circuit training. I hit classes because the group setting keeps me accountable. My goal is to push harder each time. Remember, we all start somewhere. I was winded just doing the warm-up stretches at first. Yes, there's loose skin – my stomach kinda looks like I had a kid, but it's tightening up. Arms too. Legs are lagging behind, haha.
As for food, you know what's not helping. If you're only eating fast food and sweets, it's going to be slow. Focus on PROTEIN. Protein shakes are alright, but I loaded up on lean turkey sausages. Microwave a serving for a fast snack. Rotisserie chicken with lots of hot sauce was a staple for me. I'd measure out maybe a half-cup of rice—small serving.
It took me about a year. I pushed through the side effects – the sulfur burps (Metamucil helped!), random nausea (chugging water helped me), even a couple of emergency bathroom stops on road trips because I ate something I shouldn't have! I learned what triggered the issues and adjusted. This is a long play, getting into a new routine.
