Update 2017: Ella has lost 72 pounds.

#throwback Can’t believe it’s nearly 2 years since I had that photo taken. I remember that day clearly just like yesterday. I had lost about 8kg or so already and decided it was time to start tracking my progress with pictures too. These photos were hard to take back then but today I’m glad I did. ◼ My colleague saw this pic now and said to me “Ella imagine if you didn’t start back then , it would have a total waste of 2years! ” Honestly I couldn’t agree more. ◼ Now that’s some food for thought for you reading this thinking and overthinking about how/when to start. I promise you that time will pass whether you choose to put in work or not. It’s your choice 😊 * * * * * * ______________________________________________ #transformationthursday #throwbackthursday #icametowin #inspiration #blackgirlmagic #blackfitness #goalchaser #progress #progressnotperfection #thenandnow #beforeandafterweightloss #beforeandduring #curvyfit #curvychic #thickfitchick #womenwithcurves #girlswholiftheavy #strongwomen #strongnotskinny #getfit #bodyunderconstruction #fitnessjunkie #fightingobesity #fatasstobadass #fattofit #fattofab #naturalweightloss #alphafemale #dontgiveup

Transformation of the Day: Ella lost 64 pounds. Unhealthy plans and pills didn’t work for her, the weight would just come right back. After finding out that she was borderline for hypertension and after being diagnosed with PCOS, she knew that it was time to focus on her health. Read her story and find out how she took action.

My name is Ella and I’m 5’3″. I have been the chubby girl all my life. After high school, it got worse and I really became obese and unhealthy. Several times, I tried to loose weight by doing crash diets or taking some “weight loss pill”, but I would gain it back and more once I stopped. I became almost hypertensive at just 24 years old and was later diagnosed with PCOS in Mid 2014. That changed everything. I decided that it was time to be healthy.

I began my journey at 275.5 pounds, and so far I have lost over 64 pounds by just exercising and eating healthy! This is the smallest I have weighed in my adult life and I love the confidence that comes with it. The symptoms of PCOS are now minimal and my blood pressure is perfect!

I am sharing my journey with the world to show that it is possible to loose weight naturally and with the hope of inspiring someone to start their own journey to become healthy. I would advise anyone on this journey to be patient and simply trust the process.
