#TransformationTuesday(updated) fb saw it first. Ive been telling yal that i only got up to 315lbs, when im reality i maxed out at 326 in May 2018 before i went back down. I just kinda carried it better than expected, but i was very ashamed at how much weight i put on between September and may(40 lbs) while swearing i was trynna do the opposite. a body scan in july that read 303, and i felt like i needed to change more stuff. I messaged a friend of mine and asked him to help me, so he made me a workout program, gave me some nutrition tips, and answered all the questions i had. Before i knew it i was in the gym and running sprints every other day swimming with my coach on fridays and in the gym again Saturday most of the time after a morning work shift. Between early july and late august i had lost 45-50lbs, then by march i had lost another 20, that summer i lost another 20 and finally in feb 2020 i hit my goal of 100+ lbs lost and weighed in at 215 right before Covid lockdown. This wasnt easy though, i hit weight plateaus that felt like mountains, i had to grew more conscious of my eating, i gave up drinking for a minute but drank a shit ton of water etc. (Hell when lockdown hit i put back on 30lbs, and now im still trying to shed the last 10 again)the rewards were worth the struggle though. Alot of ppl dont know i couldnt wear jeans, my body proportions wouldn’t allow it so i only wore joggers and sweats, but now i can!! I used to hurt myself often in sports, because of the weight, but now thats not the case. i regret not taking enough pictures of the progress and my workouts but im trying to better about it. People told me for a while that i needed to tell this story, but I honestly didnt feel confident enough to do so. But i kept saying that i would. fb memory gave me the push. So here we are!!! Dont give up on yourself, invest time and effort into becoming who you wanna be. Now, i want to keep making strides to help others start and finish their own fitness journies as well as write their own story. Because i know from experience how hard this can get when you have to go it alone all the time. Im really proud of myself yal, even though i suck at showing it. by @cantstopme35

These two photos really have shown me the result of my hardwork. And tbh i really couldn’t truly see how far i came until the second photo was taken and then the first one was sent to me by my friend abbie, who just so happens to be in both photos. ALOT can change in 2 years by @cantstopme35

So back in 2016 i weighed 265, and i had told myself i was going to get back down to under 240. But it wasnt until last year may when i found myself weighing 315 lbs that i truely decided that something needed to fucking change. So i changed my diet, i went to the gym every day, i started running, i started swimming, i kept pushing myself, i asked for help when i needed it. Its now july 2019 and i weigh 242. When i got most improved this past season my coach said that its easy to set goals, but are you going to take the necessary steps and make the changes needed to accomplish them. And its 7 months later and i still hold on to that because its 100% true. You say you want to do it, then go fucking do it. by @cantstopme35

Was missing it a little bit extra today. My last college 7s season was a huge improvement from the one the year before. I truly earned my spot as a leader this past year. by @cantstopme35
