Introduction

Scootypugjunior, a 29-year-old female who stands at 5'5" and weighed 178.8lbs, embarked on a Body Transformation Fitness Challenge in August 2012. Her goal was to focus on fat loss and muscle definition to look and feel amazing while keeping the weight off for good. Although she had lost over 100lbs before, she admits to yo-yoing over the last two years by 42lbs.

Not Focused on Scale

Unlike many people on weight loss journeys, Scootypugjunior was not too concerned with the number on the scale. Instead, she focused on her fat loss and muscle definition. She wanted to look and feel great in her dress and in general. She wanted to marry her fiancé as the girl he fell in love with, not feeling like she was wearing a fat suit.

Staying on Track

Although she found staying on track challenging, Scootypugjunior kept pushing herself. She was aware that keeping the weight off would not be easy, but she persevered. She also found support in the Body Transformation Fitness Challenge. She was reminded that her transformation deadline was coming up, and there are rules for posting completed transformations.

Conclusion

Scootypugjunior's dedication and determination paid off. Although her progress was not immediately clear, with time, her progress displayed in her photos. Although she struggled with yo-yoing before, she was able to maintain steady progress by focusing on fat loss and muscle definition instead of the scale. Her journey shows that weight loss is not always linear, but it is possible to achieve steady progress with patience, determination and focus.
