From Obese to Okay

Hello! :D My name's Lindsey. I'm 21 years old. My goal is to overcome obesity and while inspiring others to do the same! My starting weight was 255. I'm now at 195. My new goal is getting to 150. Any support and encouragement is greatly appreciated! We got this, y'all. :)

TRANSFORMATIOM TUESDAY, YA’LL!

This is my wife and I! The above picture was on our 2-year anniversary (a year and a half ago, November 2014.) We were happy together, but not happy with ourselves. Bottom picture is May 2016, heading to the Mumford and Sons concert she surprised me with.

She made changes in her diet before I did, and I had surgery the next summer (June 2015.) I have lost 130 pounds, and she has lost 70! THAT’S 200 POUNDS TOGETHER.

This woman inspires me every day to be a better, healthier person. I could not have gotten this far without her support and love. We make a great team, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us!

Oops

Sorry I haven't posted in a while! I'm back, though! I had an epic cheat day yesterday. Not proud of it but it's done. I need to have cheat days a little less epic is all. Like a cheap meal that's not over 100 calories. -_-

So for breakfast I had 2 large eggs, 2 whole30 hotdogs, a can of mushrooms and a banana, I snacked on another whole30 hotdog later on, for lunch I had whole30 sloppy joe with spinach and a potato and for dinner I had a small piece of chicken with more spinach. It was all just under 1300 calories. However I reached an even bigger goal by drinking a gallon of water today! I've never done it before but I want it to be my new normal. :)

How I feel sometimes. 😂

Well, since I have a few more followers and everyone has seen my other before and after I figured I should repost my before and after as a whole. Time to lose at least 40 more! I'm also here for anyone that needs help or motivation! We got this. :)

Well here's my second day of Whole30. I went way over my maximum calories, especially considering I try to stay between 1200 and 1300 a day but it was all whole, healthy whole30 compliant foods so it's okay! When I did my last Whole30 I definitely went over my calories here and there in some days so I'm trying to get over it since the damage has been done. Basically I had eggs with a porkchop and mushrooms with a banana, whole30 sloppy joe with more mushrooms (I'm obsessed) and potatoes and then more of the whole30 sloppy joe with a whole30 'bread' type contraction followed by a side of sautéed spinach. I also had another banana in between lunch and dinner since I was craving a sweet so much.

Day 1 of my second Whole30: eggs with mushrooms on a ground turkey burger patty (I also had a banana with it), a porkchop with yellow potatoes and broccoli with cauliflower, and chicken with spinach and red peppers (I also had whole30 approved cashews with it). Tomorrow will be tastier!

June 2015 vs May 28th, 2016. Yeah, I asked if this fit on Facebook and then proceeded to wear it out if the house when my friends where super supportive. Looking back I felt really, really good in this top but inversely I feel more self conscious in this top now than I did back then! Baby steps to self acceptance, yo. Remember, if I can do this, you can do this!

I’m never gonna get over what I’ve accomplished, and I’m not sorry. I lost an entire person (140 lbs) and gained a brand new me ❤️💐🏆

My best friend, Jenna. Her progress in one year. In the first photo she was 253 pounds. In the last photo she is 150. The last photo is exactly one year after the first one. She stopped drinking alcohol and cut down to 1,200 calories a day. She successfully lost weight and did it in a healthy way!

I still have a long way to go and I'm not stopping!

The picture on the left was taken nearly 3 years ago. I had an awesome lady I met while at a Biggest Loser casting call, we took a group photo and this really captures just how big I was. I knew my body made a huge change but I didn’t really realize just how significant it was until I saw this picture. I’m happy with how far I’ve come, still striving for more. #throwbackthursday #obesetobeast #fitness #weightlossjourney #weightlifting #gains #getswole
