Hello everyone, or maybe no one. I am currently 124 pounds roughly-way better than when I was 135 or even 165. I've finally lost weight the HEALTHY way! The right way- with no pills or anything to help me. I've done it the old fashioned way by cutting out unhealthy foods (for the most part, I do like to give myself a treat every now and then). I eat roughly 1200 calories a day, but I am trying to do calorie cycling (where you switch up your calorie intake everyday of the week, you can do this yourself by going to diet tools and going to the calorie calculator.) It tricks your body so your body doesn't get used to it and you hit no plateaus. I run almost everyday and do strength training about 2-3x a week (I am not going as hard as I can though). What has helped me the most of all is Instagram, I created a profile to post motivational pictures for myself, but I've gained so much more from this profile. The online community of Instagram can help you in so many more ways the people in your real life can. They support you, go through what you're going through, and give you so much advice and plenty more. I finally feel like people understand me. If you would like to check out my Instagram it is ---- @alexiscarolyne (that is my personal Instagram) or @ journeytofit123 (My motivational weightloss Instagram. If you post weight loss pictures I most likely will follow you back as well. I plan on writing many personal blogs on here as well, this will be like my diary-for me and everyone else to see. So if you've read this whole paragraph, congrats on wasting a good 5 minutes of your time. But you've wasted it in a great way-now get moving! Time to workout!
