Corine lost 150 pounds

Transformation of the Day: Corine lost 150 pounds with faith, healthy food, and exercise. This was not a quick, overnight transformation. It was years in the making, but she didn’t give up. During her journey, she became a personal trainer and Xtreme hip hop instructor.

What was your motivation?
My motivation was God!!

What inspired you to keep going, even when you wanted to give up?
When I started seeing results, I knew I was finally doing the right thing to improve my health.

How did you change your eating habits?
I start eating six small meals daily and drinking a gallon of water every day. I cut back on processed foods, sweets and alcohol. I still enjoyed eating out but I only did it once a week.

What did your workout routine consist of?
I began by walking daily. I decided to get a trainer three years ago to start doing weight lifting.

How often did you work out?
I work out 3 to 5 times a week. 

What was your starting weight? What is your current weight?
My starting weight was 325 pounds. My current weight is 175 pounds.

What is your height?
5’6″

When did you start your journey?
I started my journey over ten years ago, but it was off and on. I’ve been able to be consistent for three years.

How long did your transformation take?
Five years 

Is weight loss surgery part of your journey?
No

What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?
I learned that mentally you have to change. If you really want it, you will go after it. I also learned to put ME first, and everything else will follow. 

What advice do you have for women who want to lose weight?
Think of your “WHY”! You have to believe in yourself. Also, think about your health. I’ve always told people that losing weight is hard and being overweight is hard, so pick your hard.
