F/23/5’4” [185lbs > 128 lbs = 57lbs] Just poor eating habits and a lack of self love. I’m so lucky to have found a serious appreciation for the body I was blessed with in these last two years.

She implemented small changes in her life to make it more enjoyable, such as making healthier food swaps, finding fun physical activities like aerial silks, hoop and trick pole, and moving in ways that she enjoyed rather than what burned the most calories.

The Outcome
