Babylon-pride's weight loss journey began when she was just 11, hitting over 200 pounds and sobbing about it with her mother. She joined Weight Watchers, trying and eventually getting down to 240. Over the next few years, she maintained her weight at around 240, during her seniors year in high school and eventually when she started college.

In 2008, Babylon-pride started going to a bariatric place to get surgery for her weight. She had picked the surgery date and was approved by the insurance to get the surgery, but she decided not to have it. Over the next couple of years, she changed jobs multiple times and went back to school for her MBA, and by 2013 she had lost even more weight and weighed 165.

In 2014, Babylon-pride finished her degree and started a career, rather than a job, at the university she attended. She went to China and discovered a lot about herself, including her sexuality and what she wanted to do with her life. Babylon-pride also had a tummy tuck in March, which was very helpful because she had so much excess skin she was in constant pain. She also wears a G-cup and is considering getting a breast reduction. She wants to lose more weight to get to her goal of 140 pounds.

Babylon-pride believes that the key to losing weight is to believe in yourself and to persevere. She emphasizes the importance of good habits, like healthy eating, and regular exercise. For Babylon-pride, exercising has been the only thing that helps relieve her back pain. Her journey is an inspiration to those who struggle with losing weight and want to create a lasting change for themselves.

Though Babylon-pride's weight loss journey took more than a decade and was full of ups and downs, she remained committed to her goal and achieved it through a combination of good habits and perseverance. Her story is a testament to the power of hard work and determination, and it serves as a reminder that with patience and the right mindset, anything is possible. Try it out for yourself and see what you can accomplish!
