75 pounds down and I really thought I was about to have this whole life thing figured out. 😂 Baby…that was NOT included in the package.

What I did gain was so much better. 💕

I got stronger.
I gained confidence.
I learned how to keep promises to myself.
And I learned that maintaining the habits can be a whole journey of its own.

The weight loss changed my body, but who I became along the way changed my life.

And apparently…I STILL have to work out. Rude. 😂

If you’re on your own journey, tell me: what’s something weight loss taught you that you weren’t expecting? 👇🏾

“I lost my best friend chasing the version of me I prayed for… and sis, it hurt. 💔 But I had to learn the hard way: sometimes choosing YOU means not everyone can come with you.

Iam teaching the girlies every thing I did to go from 256 to 181.

If you’ve ever wanted to start your journey but felt like you had no support, I want you to know—you are not alone.

The weight loss isn’t just about the scale… it’s mental, spiritual, and emotional. And sometimes, becoming HER means walking alone until the right community shows up.

And if you’re here right now, that means you’ve found yours.

🤍 Here’s what you can expect from this space:

1. Support – women who actually get it and are walking the journey with you.

2. Accountability – reminders to keep going even when it’s hard.

3. A Safe Space – no judgment, just love, encouragement, and real conversations.

Girl, at this point BLOOM needs to put me on the payroll! 😂🍓

The BLOOM girlies know I don’t play about my flavors!

But tell me something… what’s ONE flavor you swear by that I need to try next?! 👀

Send this to your BLOOM bestie! 💕

Girl, this is your sign to START! 👀💕

I’m 43, working my 9–5, and still betting on ME!

You don’t need to have it all figured out. Start with what you have and learn as you go. That’s exactly what I’m doing! 🙌🏾

💕 What’s ONE thing you’ve been wanting to start? Girl let’s talk about it in the comments

Girl, listen to me.

If you’ve been saying, “I need to lose this weight, but I don’t even know where to start…” I need you to stop making it so complicated.

You do NOT have to change your whole life overnight.

Baby, start with a walk.

Start drinking a little more water.
Start making ONE better choice with your meals.

That’s it. Start there.

I started at 256 pounds, and 75 pounds later, one of the biggest things I’ve learned is that the little things you can actually stick to will take you further than trying to be perfect.

So if you’re sitting there thinking, “Girl, I can’t do this…”

YES. YOU. CAN.

We just gotta start.

Comment “START” if you want me to show you how to begin your journey in a way that actually fits your real life. 💚 by @itslaquitamichelle

43 looks like choosing me. 💕

More peace. More confidence. More intention. Less explaining.

I’m not trying to get back to the old me… I really like the woman I’m becoming. ✨ by @itslaquitamichelle

Girl… I did NOT start off as no fitness girl. 😂🙌🏾

I started at 256 pounds just trying to figure out how to get healthy and find something I could actually stick to.

Then I found stepping… and BABY. 😂💚

That’s why I tell my girls all the time—you don’t have to do what everybody else is doing.

Find movement YOU enjoy.
Build habits that fit YOUR real life.
And just keep showing up.

75 pounds later, I’m 43, a Certified Personal Trainer, and I’m still learning, growing and becoming her right along with y’all.

So if you’re a woman 40+ trying to get healthier, stronger and more consistent WITHOUT making fitness your entire life…

Follow me, girl. This is what we do over here.

Love you ttyl byyeee 💕

WFH corporate girlies know that lunch break is NEVER just lunch 😂💻

Soon as that clock hits lunch, I’m trying to squeeze in a whole side quest before I have to be back at my laptop. 😂

A quick little run, grab what I need, and right back home because baby… that hour goes FAST.

WFH girlies what are YOU usually doing on your lunch break: eating, errands, working out, or taking a nap? 😂
