Meet: @Stacyshrinks I started my natural weightloss journey on Jan 21, 2017, at 444.1 lbs, 5'5", & 46 yo. I changed my life after a doctor told me I had beginning signs of Heart Disease. Exercise, they say. So, I went to the gym 6x/wk and pushed myself as hard as I could. At first, I could only do 5 minutes on the elliptical & tossed around 5 lb dumbells. Now, I hill climb 5 miles on the crossramp & leg press 310 lbs. You are what you eat, they say. I learned how to eat clean. I knew lean proteins, fresh veggies, and fruits were the key. I read stories & followed people on sm that offered free advice. Saving workouts people posted & integrated them daily. I've never paid for weightloss advice or workout plans, & I won't. I allow 1 cheat meal/wk & indulge on a bowl of buttered popcorn once in a while. So far I've lost 217.1 lbs & am cleared by my cardiologist! Starting Tip: Never reward your success with a cheat meal, only with new gym clothes or that expens blender. Oh, & gum cures a sweet tooth! . . 🔴 Did you know 90% of our content YOU DONT SEE!!

Meet: @seabrook715 I once lost 150lbs with diet and exercise. It’s crazy to think that I wasn’t really happy at 185 from 340. It was superficial happiness. Like “oh I have a ‘great’ body now so life will be easier and I’m getting attention.” A couple years later that caused my relationship to become turbulent and I started gaining weight back but blocked it out. I went back to my old eating habits; Fast food mostly because it was comforting again. But then I was 80lbs heavier and was too ashamed to admit it. I felt ashamed. I altered my photos to try to feel happy again. Thinking people will say I looked good and maybe that would be the motivation I needed to succeed. Nope. 1. I learned trust is earned. 2. Being dishonest will never bring happiness. Once I was, inappropriately, outed the flood gates of hate opened. After months of trying to deal with that I shut my IG down. The quiet was wonderful. Months later, and many messages from my dear friend Keith, on 1.20.17 I decided no one gets to make me feel like that ever again, including myself. I came back and moved on. My IG has evolved from a weight loss and workout account to a self love account. Even though they tend to go hand in hand. I think we as women have a tendency to feel the need to undress to show our accomplishments, at least I did. I don’t feel the need to do that anymore. I feel empowered by my self worth and don’t need the validation regarding my body. Sometimes it takes a period of time for reflection to figure out what changes in life need to be made. You should never apologize for being you at any stage. I look at hard times as a positive because thats what allow us to grow. Starting tip: You’re weight might fluctuate but don’t let a number or fat on your body limit your love for yourself. Your journey is never over, we have setbacks but never give upon finding your happy! #wlstories . . .

My fb page for a personal account you can add me: Facebook .com/KEITHwls .......... #wlstories ____________________ Meet @blackthaiaffair So many aspects of my life were great that I couldn’t quite figure out why getting healthy was my lifelong struggle. I prayed for the discipline when I didn’t know where to start. One day (12/31/15), I woke up and decided I deserved happiness, and I’d no longer give energy to the negativity others brought my way. I started walking, food journaling and had an accountability partner. My mindset completely changed as I saw the results of my hard work. 51 weeks later, I surpassed my goal on my birthday of losing 85 lbs. There was so greater present than self-love. Starting Tip: Take baby steps so it doesn’t feel so overwhelming. Choose one habit to change every month as you walk your journey and know that others are here to support you! #wlstories . . .

Meet @journeyto_130 Not long after my daughter turned 1, I had a doctors appointment with my endocrinologist (who I see for PCOS). When I stepped on the scale, It was a reality check. I realized, I was so busy taking care of my daughter that I stopped taking care of me. My doctor told me if I ever wanted a second kid, I needed to get serious. I walked out that door and haven't stopped since. I went that day and stocked up on healthy groceries and joined a 10 week challenge at my gym. I was motivated by my family. I want to live a healthy and active life for my husband and daughter. And I hope to also have another child one day and to have a healthy pregnancy. I have lost 62 pounds so far and probably would like to lose another 40. I use this account to hold myself accountable but to inspire others. This Instagram community has provided me with so much support and I've been inspired by so many others. I think body positivity is so important. I'm embracing my body at each Phase of this journey. I respect what my body is capable of. I may not be at the lightest weight I've ever been but I love myself so much more. Starting tip: Don't focus on the end number. Focus on the journey. Set small non scale related goals like drink more water, walk more steps. You will be able to hit these goals and celebrate success while creating healthier habits. #wlstories . . .
