Transformation of the Day: Nahkila lost 66 pounds. Her journey wasn’t just about the weight. It was about having the goodness inside being reflected on the outside. “My advice would be to stop dieting and create a lifestyle change to better your health and the beauty will follow.” Check out her story.

What was your motivation?
My health and my desire to love my own reflection was my motivation.

What inspired you when you wanted to give up?
When I wanted to give up, I was inspired by my strong desire for who I am on the inside to be reflected on the outside. I’m also a life coach who worked with a coach to change my thoughts and beliefs about food and health, to make better choices and to be consistent.

How did you change your eating habits?
I stopped skipping meals and started eating every 2-3 hours. I also eat on a saucer as opposed to a large plate. I started drinking more water daily as well. I allow myself to eat whatever I want in moderation. I no longer diet and I now have a healthy relationship with food.

What did your workout routines look like?
I walk up to 5 miles at least 5 days a week. I also do Zumba and yoga classes periodically. I also meditate.

Starting weight/Current weight
I started at 265 pounds and I currently weigh 199 pounds.

What is your height?
I’m 5’2″.

How long did your transformation take?
My journey began in January of 2016. 8 months and counting.

What advice do you have for others who want to lose weight?
My advice would be to stop dieting and create a lifestyle change to better your health and the beauty will follow. I also advise working with a life coach who specializes in NLP (Neuro-linguistic programing) because by changing your thoughts, your behaviors will follow.
