jdanielledoiron Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 It's been a year since I lost 40lbs and have kept it off! I just recently discovered my love for weight lifting a few months ago and am never looking back. It's been an amazing journey and I can't wait until I hit my goal and push through my plateau. (Been sitting at this plateau for about 8-9months) Never give up. Find your limits and push through them! I promise, the journey is rough at times, but the way I feel now, worth it a million times over. xx Jess 5 Quote SW: 193lbsCW: 152lbsGW: Healthy/Strong Lost 40lbs of fat, working on building muscle with heavy lifting.

Super Destroyer Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Way to go Jess! In all the times that I have lost weight in the past, I never kept it off very long. I have been setting goals all along this journey of mine, but the long term goal is to continue a healthy lifestyle and keep the weight off. I have been getting rid of all my clothes as I shrink out of them, never to return! Quote "It is cutting time......"

Jacksson Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Congratulations. It is great to see posts about losing weight but much better to see posts about keeping it off. Great job. And I like how in that middle picture the camera lens on the phone looks like it could be your eye. Quote Link to comment

You looked in your before pretty much like I look now, and my goal is 40 lbs - and getting to look pretty much like YOU do now.Do you care to share the specifics of how you lost the weight, how long it took and what you've done since?Great job! Hey! I really just started eating healthy, went almost paleo (removed breads and heavy staches from my diet) I did have wraps for a while but now I'm completely off bread entirely. I also stopped drinking milk and only have a small amount of feta cheese once in a while for my healthy fats. I did a lot of HIIT training (You should definitely check out Turbo Fire, I swear it was a big reason I lost so much!) But really it comes down to a healthy balance. It took me from June to November to lose most of my weight and I have since kept it off for a year by staying active and staying healthy! Once you get in the mindset, and habit, it becomes easy and just everyday. I don't even think about making my food anymore, it comes naturally! Good luck to you! Let me know if you have any more questions Great job! You've nailed my concern -- I've list 30 lbs, can I keep it off for a year? You certainly can. Believe me I have a hard time saying no to chocolate and such things but the thing about it is balance! (Also I found finding substitutes for my cravings helped A LOT!)
