These photos are 4 1/2 years in the making. My transformation didn’t happen from being impatient or making excuses. Instead it came from never missing a workout, always hitting my daily step targets, and nailing my nutrition day in and day out. If I did have a day where I ate more than I should, I got right back at it the next day, and those days happened less and less as I got better skilled at planning. I’ve gone through 3 reverse diets and used plenty of diet breaks and calorie cycling along the way. My results got better the more I focused my attention around performance goals. It gave me a great reason to want to eat well. That way I had a measure of my progress that was not just the numbers on the scale. Throughout this journey I didn’t see much change week to week. My rate of loss was about 1 pound a week at most during dieting weeks. But it all adds up if you are patient, consistent, and keep at it. Losing weight and keeping it off is possible. Promise!
