What was your motivation? What inspired you to keep going, even when you wanted to give up?
It has been and continues to be a journey. What motivated me on this journey was a family history of heart disease, cholesterol and diabetes.

How did you change your eating habits?
I changed my eating habits by doing intermittent fasting (16:8 model). I also try to eliminate processed foods, bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, etc.

What is your exercise routine? How often did you exercise?
My exercise routine consists of 5 days a week in the gym. I walk a mile and then lift weights. I also work with a trainer three days a week in addition to the gym and attend a kickboxing class one day a week.

What was your starting weight? what is your current weight?
My starting weight was 234 pounds and my current weight is 184. pounds.

How tall are you?
I am 5’2″ tall.

When did you start your journey? How long did your transformation take?
I have always worked and continued, but I focused on February 2023. My transformation is ongoing.

What is the most important lesson you have learned so far?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is to track everything I eat on an app. I have to keep track of every “bite, lick and taste.” Sometimes you will fall off the wagon, but I get back on.

I also learned that water is my friend. Most importantly, there is no magic pill. Although I take a weight loss injection (Wegovy), a complete lifestyle change is necessary.

What advice do you have for women who want to lose weight?
My advice to women is to be consistent and make small changes. The weight didn’t appear overnight, so it will take time to lose it.
