How have you maintained your weight loss/continued to lose weight?
I have maintained my weight loss by consistently exercising and eating right.

What has worked in terms of eating habits and what worked in terms of exercise?
Prepping my meals and listening to my music to push me through my 1 hour and 15 minute long work out.

The Fitness on Fire Online Training Program helped my make this lifestyle change. It is awesome to have someone to hold you accountable for your food intake. They informed me about of the best foods to eat while on my journey, and the exercises I needed to do to get me where I want to be on my weight loss journey.

What obstacles, hurdles or setbacks have you faced during your journey and how did you get back on track?
The holidays and family events. I got back on track by reminding myself of how I looked before compared to now.

When you think about the lessons you’ve learned, what stands out the most?
If I put my mind to it I can do it!! I realized how important consistency is.

At this point, would you offer any new or different advice to people who want to lose weight?
Losing weight has to be something you want to do for yourself. I tell my family and friends that this journey is about a healthier me. Looking at my older family members, I see that obesity is widespread in our family. I want to start a trend and show the younger generation in my family as well as the older ones that taking care of your health is very important. I wanted to let them see that the process is possible. With determination, hard work, and support, a healthier you is what you should want in life.
