Transformation of the Day: Gabrielle lost 60 pounds. Cutting out sugar and eating low carb, high protein foods works for her. Seeing other people achieve their health and fitness goals inspires her and reminds her that she reach her goals too.
What inspired you to keep going when you wanted to give up?
Seeing others succeed inspires me. If they can do it, I can do it. I often remind myself that I control my flesh. My flesh doesn’t control me.
How did you change your eating habits?
I went cold turkey. It was very hard at first, so I decided to fast to gain control of my cravings. I also drank lots of water. I don’t follow any specific program. I do eat low carb, but not keto. I eat high protein meals, no sugar, and I fast daily.
What did your workout routine consist of?
I haven’t really worked out so far. I’ve only recently started to walk 5/6 days a week for 1 hour a day. However, I do plan on going to the gym in a few weeks, and I’ll be picking up boxing!
What was your starting weight? What is your current weight?
My starting weight was 320+ pounds, and my current weight is 260 pounds.
What is your height?
5 feet, 9 inches tall
When did you start your journey?
September 2019
Is weight loss surgery part of your journey?
No, but I do plan on getting plastic surgery if I get loose skin.
What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned?
If you want it, it’s yours. The only thing that has been stopping me all these years is myself. That’s it.
What advice do you have for women who want to lose weight?
You can do this. Be gentle with yourself through this journey and enjoy it. Also, stop the excuses and stop waiting for Monday. Do it now! You are unstoppable, and you are loved.
