Transformation of the Day: Chelsea lost 60 pounds. After a wakeup call on the scale and a pre-diabetes diagnosis, she started taking practical steps to create a healthy lifestyle. She shared some great tips with us. Check out her transformation journey.
What was your motivation?
I knew something had to change when I stepped on the scale and my weight was close to 240 pounds. I’m 5’5″, so at that weight I was considered obese. My doctor told me I was pre-diabetic and if I didn’t lose weight I would most likely develop diabetes. From that day on, I dedicated my life to becoming a healthier me.
Three years later, I am down 60 pounds. I am no longer pre-diabetic and I feel amazing. This journey definitely wasn’t easy, but if I can do it anyone can. I hope my story inspires others!
How did you change your eating habits?
I prepared my meals at home and restrained myself from eating out. Eventually, I cut out dairy, grains, beef and pork.
What did your workout routine look like?
I started off by doing Zumba 4-5 times a week. The weight started falling off when I started weight training 6 days a week. Now I workout twice a day 6 days a week and eat clean.
