I’m 20 years old, 5’3” and 154.4 pounds as of today.

The top before/after photo was from 183 pounds to 162

but the rest on the right hand side were when i was 193 and the ones on the right are from now when i’m 154.

My whole life I was always super thin. I never ate that well but I was on the swim team since i was a kid so i always maintained a healthy weight. in 2009 I decided to quit for several reasons. I put on almost 80 pounds in 2 years. I weighed myself in December of 2011 and realized that I was a lot heavier than i thought i was. I started noticing in photos that i seemed bigger. It was embarrassing. I didnt even recognize myself anymore. And i knew I had to fix it. Honestly losing the weight was a struggle at first. I’d lose 10 pounds and then gain 5. And so on. But I kept lying to myself. whenever i gained a pound I’d be in denial about it and wouldn’t admit it to anyone. i’d post photoshopped photos of myself and say WOW i guess the 37 pounds i lost is really getting noticeable. Pathetic, i know. I mean, i really was losing weight. but i think for 6 months, the lowest weight i got to was 174.I mean sure, it was definitely something to be proud of but I was planning on getting to my goal by the summer. I ended up getting depressed again and gaining a majority of the weight back. Then when i got back up to 183 I decided if i was going to make a change i had to do it NOW. I ended up busting my ass and i lost 7 pounds in 7 days. But i was eating and everything, I had just started a cleanse and the weight fell off faster. Its been gradual since then but I weighed myself today, on January 7th, and found out that i’m now at 154. I’m honestly so happy with myself. I feel so much better. I’d still like to drop about 25 more pounds and I know with more exercising and if i keep eating the way I do then i’ll get there. :)

PS-none of the photos on here are photoshopped FYI, i got rid of those.

5’4, 143 to 133

I know this isn’t some miraculous transformation. The transition I made in a year is made in months for others. I didn’t get visible abs, bones, or biceps. There is barely a ten pound difference between these photos.

I don’t care about any of those things, because this past year has given me far more than a stunning before and after. I’m aware of my body for the first time in my life; how it responds to healthy food and how it performs under pressure. I lift, I run, I eat mindfully. This is all far more valuable progress than a breathtaking weight loss.

2013 will be even better. Let’s do this.

Dec 2009 - Jun 2012

No diet, no running.

I changed my habits - No more sugary drinks and boredom snacks. Cutting on processed/junk/fast food and going for closer-to-nature food. Went from a lazy, sedentary girl to a yoga, walk and rollerblade lover. 6 months gym membership on these 3 years, I’m not going anymore.

Healthy lifestyle = Healthy body

Get it through your mind….it’s not a target of how you look, it’s a target of how you feel. If you feel sexy, believe me, you are. runningturtle87

^ I approve! How you feel about yourself and your attitude shine through you, no matter what you look like. Hold yourself with pride and confidence, people will see you as a proud and confident person.

kayluhhsweightlossjourney:

So this happened today. 50 lb weight loss pictures! The purpose of the new pictures was actually to be my new before pictures as I start focusing on fitness. But, I was going through pictures and realized how similar they are to my pictures I took on the first day of my weight loss journey.

The only thing is…the people in the pictures are completely different people. I mean, yes they’re both me. But different versions of me. I know have a clearer idea of who I am and want to be and I am of course 50 lbs lighter. I am happier, more confident, and moreKayla.If that makes any sense. :) Haha. This is crazy.

What is overnight oats?

Overnight oats (OO) is basically oats soaked in the liquid of your choice. Either milk or yogurt, but you can always experiment with other kinds. It is often chilled overnight (hence the name) and usually left uncooked. However you can heat it up if you prefer to. It is perfect for days when you are in a rush to make breakfast, just make it in a jar the day before and it’s ready to go the next day.

You can add any kinds of toppings you want to it. You can add fresh fruits, nuts, dried fruits, peanut butter, etc. Many people also add chia seeds to the overnight oats. Be adventurous and try new additions, you might be pleasantly surprised!

This is also good to put together with your kids, let them play around with their favorite toppings and learn more about fruits and nuts, etc. There’s no or minimal cooking involved, so it’s safe for them as well.

In the following list, there are several sites that provide the recipes for a basic overnight oatmeal, and if can continue from there if you want to create your own personal one-of-a-kind oatmeal. Have fun! Remember, healthy doesn’t mean boring or tasteless!
