I started my weight loss journey during my last year of high school in November 2011, at 17 years old I weighed 195 lbs. At only 5'1 I was obese, unhealthy and very unhappy. From the beginning it was a struggle, I have always turned to food for comfort but this time I was determined to put the bad habits behind me and actually loose the weight.
January 31st 2011 I ran a 5K race called The Resolution Run and started the year off right.After the race my motivation was at an all time high, I was working out at least 5 times a week and eating right.I signed up for a Triathlon in August and only 7 short months later my aunt and I completed our first ever Triathlon.
Just a few days after the big race I left my mothers home and moved to Kingston,ON for college and this is when my journey really began.I love my new healthy life, the meal prep, protein shakes, countless workouts, night time runs, being able to wear what I want and most of all being the healthiest I have ever been.
I am now 18 years old and currently weigh 151 lbs (-49 lbs !!) and I am still working to loose another 20.
This a lifestyle, not just a diet.I have accepted and learned that I will have to work hard and eat right for the rest of my life, but I am prepared to do the work to get the results I want.There is no magic pill, no quick fix....dedication is key.
