New perceptions and habits brought awe-inspiringly quick results

DropitlikeitshotM, a 28-year-old woman, watched in awe as her body started changing just days after she adopted the T25 program, enforced a calorie-controlled diet, and drank Shakeology to curb her cravings. She shed a whopping 36lbs and experienced a shift in body perception — a realization that she had no idea what she looked like before losing the weight. Her before and after pictures reveal the massive change that many others noticed and complimented her for.

Supportive measures created the lifestyle change

DropitlikeitshotM accredits much of her lifestyle change to the T25 program’s support system, which involved a daily workout regimen and Shakeology, a superfood-packed shake. She also utilized the MyFitnessPal app to track her calorie intake to stay within a reasonable limit. Her success is a testament to the power of having people who can hold you accountable, who can support you, and who can lift you up.

The culture of dangerous trends in body image advocacy

In a culture that accepts being unhealthily overweight as attractive, it’s getting harder to realize that carrying extra weight is not normal nor a manifestation of being real. DropitlikeitshotM’s journey saw her shift out of this mentality to achieve her ideal body. She admits that even her self-perception was flawed as she did not realize how much weight she had put on. Her journey serves as a reminder that it’s essential to keep track of one's body and measure the progress in ways beyond the number on the scale or the sizes of clothes.

Achieving weight loss through simple measures.

DropitlikeitshotM lost weight through simple measures of calorie-counting paired with low-intensity, high-energy workouts; however, her journey reflects how essential lifestyle changes are for healthy living. The right eating habits and a daily fitness routine can change the way we live and function on a day-to-day basis. Undeniably, establishing good habits and making conscious choices, such as drinking lots of water, standing instead of sitting, and getting small workouts in, can eventually make a massive difference.

Encouraging audiences to develop a healthier lifestyle

DropitlikeitshotM’s progress is just one of the many stories of people who have achieved weight loss through healthy lifestyle changes. Whether it’s joining a fitness group, eating a balanced diet, or participating in group fitness programs like T25 or P90X, there are various approaches anyone can take to achieve their ideal health goals. By having a positive attitude, a determination to push through hard days, and a supportive system of friends and family, anyone can achieve their weight loss goals.
