Start slow. Rome wasn’t built in a day and my 70lbs weren’t lost in a day either. It takes slow and steady changes and consistency in order to lose weight and maintain weight loss. Give yourself a challenge such as cutting back on the Starbucks drinks or sodas until you’re able to completely (or mostly) eliminate them from your daily intake.


Stop comparing yourself to others. I could really stand to listen to my own advice on this one. It can be so hard to not compare yourself in a world of perfectly staged Instagram photos, but for real, stop the comparing! It will only make you feel worse about yourself.


Find what works for you. Fitness and nutrition are NOT one size fits all. There are truly endless options of fitness. Whether you prefer group classes or individual workouts, The same goes for nutrition: high carb, low fat, high protein, plant-based… the list goes on.


Drink lots of water. I really had no idea how much water I should consume until I started this weight loss adventure. Hint: it’s a lot. Carry water with you everywhere and drink it up!


Stay active. Movement, whether walking, jogging, running, lifting weights, or anything in between is an integral part to weight loss. Every body is different so your level and type of exercise will be different than mine.


Stretch. After being active it’s important to allow your muscles the rest and recovery they need in order to keep you at 110%. Making time to stretch especially after high intensity or long workouts is a must!


Switch up your workouts! For years I did only Zumba classes but when I started to change up my workouts and incorporate different types of fitness programs I started to see more weight loss and muscle tone.


Have patience and be consistent. Losing weight is not about how quickly you can do it. You’ll need to be consistent with your nutrition and fitness routine in order to see results. That also means having patience cause it can take some time to get there. You’ll likely also hit plateaus along the way. Those are healthy, just keep pushing forward!


Take progress pictures. I’m so glad that I have my progress photos to document my journey. I hated taking that first photo in my sports bra but it was the best thing I could ever do. Seeing my first comparison photo is when I actually believed the measurements and scale!


Find someone who will support you and keep you accountable. For me, it took a village. I was living at home when I started this journey. My parents supported me by helping me meal prep. My Zumba instructor answered all my questions and told me I could do it. My friends kept me accountable to show up to Zumba class. My coworkers didn’t bring sweet treats around. It didn’t end with my initial 8 weeks though. To this day Jon is an incredibly supportive partner, helping with meal prep and planning and keeping the sweets away from me at home.


Don’t eat processed foods. Every once in a while it’s okay but don’t make them a regular part of your diet. They’re typically packed with tons of unhealthy ingredients, are high in sodium, carbs, and fat.


Plan ahead. I meal plan every week on Sundays for all of our dinners throughout the week (I take the leftovers for lunch the next day typically). This keeps me on track each week so I always food within reach when I start getting hungry.


Ask for help! Find someone you trust and seek them out. Maybe it’s a friend, a fitness instructor, a family member or maybe it’s someone you met through Instagram or at an event. I had to ask for help so many times along this journey (and still do). Ask questions, ask for support, ask for accountability.
