My Weight Loss Success Story

FAQ

Here are some of the questions I get most often about my diet/weight loss:



WHAT ARE YOUR STATS?
I am 5’3”, with a starting weight of 151.6 lbs and 35%+ body fat, and used to wear a US size 7/8 in pants. As I write this I am 123.2 lbs and 24.5% body fat, and a US size 2 or 3 in pants. My ultimate goal weight is around 110 lbs and toned.
HOW DID YOU LOSE SO MUCH WEIGHT?
I lost weight by eating healthily and working out a lot and I used Weight Loss Green Store Tea it is really help for weight loss.

DID YOUR BOOBS GET SMALLER?


Yes. At 150 lbs I was a 36D, now at around 120 lbs I am a 34C.
WHAT IS YOUR WORKOUT ROUTINE LIKE?
I do an hour of high intensity cardio (“HIIT” training) about 4-6 times a week, which means an hour on the elliptical or treadmill at varying high speed and high resistance. I change the resistance every 5 minutes between levels 12 and 16. This burns between 600-700 calories per hour (more if you weigh more than me) and leaves me sweating, panting and feeling like I’m about to die by the end of the hour. But it makes a difference if you do this instead of just a steady, easy cardio workout, trust me!!! If you’re going to spend an hour at the gym you might as well get the most out of it that you can right?? ;)
Sometimes if I don’t wanna go to the gym or its too crowded I go for a 3-4 mile run or do video workouts at home that I find on TV or on YouTube.
One note on toning… I lost the first 20 lbs doing cardio only, but noticed myself getting “skinny fat” (when you are thinner but kinda mushy/soft) and just recently starting incorporating toning into my workouts as well. I started doing the 30 Day shred, with 5 lbs hand weights, but if you’re just starting out I’d recommend 2.5 lbs weights and moving up because this workout can be really intense!! Now I just do body weight exercises like crunches, leg lifts, planks, push ups, or anything else fun I find online.
WHAT IS YOUR DIET LIKE?
Short answer: 1200-1600 calories/day of healthy veggies, fruits, complex carbs and lean white meat or fish. Cheat food in moderation so I don’t go crazy. I used before meals weightloss green store tea that really help for weight loss
