Vanessa 75 lbs Weight Loss Stories – Before and After

How I lost 75 lbs.

I’m so happy to share with you my weight loss stories. My name is Vanessa and I have always struggled with my weight. At my heaviest I was over 300 lbs, overweight, unhappy and had no self-confidence. My main goal in life back then was to just survive the day and not be embarrassed of myself.

Fast forward to today – I’ve lost 75 lbs, gained confidence and self-respect, and learned a lot about nutrition, healthy living, myself and how to achieve health goals.

I had been overweight since age 10 (my parents were also overweight). At that time I didn’t think it was a big deal because all my friends were also overweight. I ate lots of junk food every day – potato chips, cookies, soda pop and fast food – but never really thought about the consequences because I would hide my weight under baggy clothes anyways.

As I got older, being overweight started taking a toll on me emotionally as well as physically. I hated going shopping because nothing ever fit me right or looked good on me. When trying on clothes at the mall or shopping in stores was a nightmare for me because I would often become so angry that nothing looked good on me that it would turn into a crying mess in the dressing room and

I started my weight loss journey on June 1st 2018 as a way to improve my health and appearance.

I was extremely unhealthy, unfit, and unhappy with my body. I had no idea how to manage my weight or what I was eating. I ate fast food all the time and couldn’t even walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded.

I have since lost 75 lbs by educating myself on nutrition and fitness, eating whole foods, eliminating processed foods, and exercising regularly!
