37-year-old Amanda weighed 350Ibs in autumn 2015.
In just 2 years, she managed to lose 150Ibs.
Mandie felt tired and had low self-esteem. Her weight loss trip changed all that.
The first rule she had was to determine the appropriate portion sizes and change her diet.
“I am getting 35 percent of my calories from carbs, 25 percent of my calories from fat, and 40 percent of my calories from protein,” she says.
The second step was to hire a personal trainer and learn much-needed exercises at the gym.
“It makes me sad to even say that I have never actually admitted to anyone how heavy I had been.”
Now going to the gym is one of my favorite times of the week”
Amanda’s third ‘step’ is to set small and reasonable interim goals.
She aimed to go down a few kilos at a time and still live a life she was happy with, as opposed to aiming to drop 10kg every few weeks.
“You will have days where you want to give up, where you get off track, or where you struggle — that’s normal!”
“Just don’t give up. Grant yourself grace and get back on track with your next meal or next workout.”
What an inspiration you are, Amanda! It’s not easy to kick old habits in order to reach your goals, but you’ve done a great job.
