Introduction

MustLuvKitties' weight loss journey started 17 years ago when she was in an unhealthy relationship and ballooned to 225 lbs. After that, she managed to lose weight and maintain it for a few years until she started putting it back on. Last December, she decided to join Planet Fitness and has been trying to balance unhealthy food with healthy eating.

Baby steps to weight loss

MustLuvKitties is a 40-year-old female who did mostly cardio at Planet Fitness, burning 4-600 calories 3 times a week. She is a 12-hour shift worker with a very physical job, so she barely has any energy left for gym after work. She doesn't count calories, only estimates them very loosely, and tries to eat salad at least five times a week.

Balancing healthy and unhealthy food

MustLuvKitties loves junk food and sugar but learned to curb and ignore her cravings. She tries to balance the unhealthy food with healthy eating. She has no strict diet and doesn't deprive herself of the food that she enjoys eating. The key is to maintain moderation in eating unhealthy food and continue to choose healthier food.

Congratulations on the weight loss milestone

After 17 years, MustLuvKitties lost 60 pounds, from 225lbs to 165lbs. Her husband took a photo of her last month, and she knew that she had to dig out the old one from when she was 23 years old and place them side by side. Undoubtedly, she looks younger now. Her journey wasn't a linear path, but she continued to strive for progress, not needing perfection.

Conclusion

MustLuvKitties' weight loss journey is inspiring, showing that small changes can lead to significant weight loss over time. She encourages everyone to start slowly, not to stress over perfect diets, and to strive for progress, not perfection. MustLuvKitties proved that age is not a hindrance to weight loss. With patience, determination, and consistency, weight loss can be within everyone's reach.
