Achieving Goals through Trickery

To lose weight in a healthy manner, she started with crazy organization skills. She monitored her progress with photos, milestones chart, weight loss journal, and a Polar watch.

She tricked herself into pushing a little past her limits by setting shorter running goals than what she was actually capable of. After running or exercising, she felt awesome about herself and like a rockstar.

Focusing on Healthy Food for Fuel

Her diet consists of mostly veggies, protein, and complex carbs. She also drank plenty of water throughout the day. However, she never deprives herself of having frozen yogurt or the likes. She ensured to maintain a calorie deficit by consuming 1300-1600 calories with MyFitnessPal to monitor progress.

Tracking Progress with Visual Aids

Cara-Mason shares that she records her new weight and measurement every 2 weeks in her weight loss journal along with her expected milestone date. She records calorie burned on her Polar watch and eats nutritious food as fuel.

To further help her track her progress, she takes photos to document every 10lbs lost. These visual aids give her boost and a reminder of how far she has come.

Encouragement for All

Cara-Mason's transformation story encourages anyone aiming for a healthy weight journey. Losing 50lbs in seven months or even seven years is not an easy task, but it can be achieved through discipline and commitment.
