Candy lost 88 pounds

Transformation of the Day: Candy lost 88 pounds. Her wakeup call came when she saw her wedding photos. She worked out twice a day, and cut out junk food, sweets and starchy carbs. Getting results really motivated her to keep going. Check out her journey.

What was your motivation?
I started my journey 3 1/2 years ago after looking at my wedding pictures and realizing how big I’d gotten.

How did you change your eating habits?
I cut back on sweets, junk food, processed food, pasta, potatoes, and bread. I stopped eating meat almost a year ago, and I gained about 20 lbs. I didn’t’ even realize it because I was loading up on carbs trying to get full. So I started a low carb diet in June, and I’ve lost those 20 lbs again.

What was your workout routine?
First, I started going to the gym after work. After a few months or so, I started seeing results. So, I started going to the gym twice a day, and I haven’t looked back since.

In the beginning, my workout consisted of cardio only, which is why I have a lot of loose skin. I started strength training a year after starting my journey.

What was your starting weight? What is your current weight?
My highest weight was 265 pounds. My starting weight was 245 pounds, and my current weight is 157 pounds.

What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned?
I’ve learned to trust the process and never give up because nothing happens overnight. My journey wasn’t easy, but once I started seeing results, it became an addiction.

What advice would you share with other people who want to lose weight?
My advice to anyone that is on a weight loss journey is to trust the process, never give up, and keep grinding. Nothing comes easy, so you have to work hard for what you want. DON’T STOP! KEEP GOING!
