#selflovesaturday I want to say a few things about being “over weight” Things I have come to learn over the last few years! I’ve often heard “your so much prettier now that you’ve lost weight” just stop! Telling someone that isn’t kind.. or flattering! And in fact being 275 pounds or 135 pounds doesn’t define ones beauty! Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way, thick, thin, tall, short, tanned, pale, wrinkles, smooth, light hair, dark hair.. you get it right? the list goes on... what you are and have doesn’t define our beauty! Don’t loose weight in hopes of becoming “beautiful” because you always were.. if you are someone who needs to loose weight for your health then do that! If your a size 0 and healthy that’s perfect if your a size 18 and healthy even better! #beyourselfalways #befitbeyou #beautiful #weareone #healthylifestyle #fitnessjourney #motivation #weightlosstransformation #massiveweightloss #beautycomesinallsizes #healthyiswhatmatters #bodybyvictoria #victoriassecret #bestbraever

This beautiful man believed in me, but never told me to change. He stood by me and kept me strong while peers laughed and questioned why he was with me. He loved me when I didn't love myself. To my biggest and truest supporter: How can I begin to explain how you've changed my life for the better? You've stood by me now, once again with your unwavering love and support through this new rollercoaster of a life change- my health dream. Never finding jealousy, needing more attention while I took the time to focus on myself, or even complaining, instead praising the new found attention that's found me. How could words ever express a man that always done more than enough. You are more than enough for me, you are my one and only everything, all I could ever ask for is more lifetimes to spend with you. I do what I do now, for me; but a life time to look forward to with you is my motivation and reward. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #fitnessjourney #flexfriday #transform #lovehim #husband #progressnotperfection #bootyfordays #dedication #motivation #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #fitnessjourney #fattofit #fatloss #igfitfam #losingweight #support #fat2fit

Busy mom-of-two Rachelle Hosick overcame her excuses and lost 124 lbs. in 8 months with the @21DayFix fitness & nutrition program. Now she can fit into her wedding dress again, and she won $2,000 in the @BeachbodyChallenge contest! That's a win-win! And her Coach @lindsmarie714 wins $1,000 for helping her make this happen. 🙌 💪🏼❤👍🏼 👰🏼💃🏼👗💰💰 She says: "Before I started the 21 Day Fix, I was considered 'morbidly obese.' I weighed almost 300 lbs! I was done with my excuses. My kids deserved better, my husband deserved better, and most importantly, I deserved better. I love the 21 Day Fix because it tells you exactly what/how much you can eat and which workout to do every day. The workouts are 30 minutes, and I can do them in my own home! I love the simplicity of it. Anyone can do it. ... I'm proud of myself for working out and eating healthy every day, no excuses. The 21 Day Fix is my lifestyle now. I'm proud of losing so much weight, and my wedding dress fits again!" #BeachbodyChallenge #21DayFixResults #21dayfix #FitMom #weightloss #IGfitness

NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO UP!!! Finally! Link in bio!! Yesterday I was officially diagnosed with PCOS. Pretty much I have small cysts on my ovaries which cause insulin resistance and hormone imbalance. It sucks. I've noticed for a while that I gain weight super easily. One time, I ate a chipotle burrito and gained 5 lbs & didn't lose those 5 lbs for another month. I've been fluctuating weight for a couple of months now and I knew something was up. Even when people said i was doing too much cardio or that I was gaining muscle, I knew something was going on with my body. With PCOS, it is very difficult to lose weight but it's not impossible. It's been frustrating working extra hard and seeing slow results. But I'm thankful for how far I've come. Watch my YouTube video where I explain in more detail. I've gone gluten free, limited dairy due to this and have been avoiding starchy foods. It's hard and sometimes I fail but I know how important it is for my body. I'm doing whole30 again for weekdays and will be trying my hardest on weekends. I don't want to set myself up for failure because I don't do well with restrictions. Ultimately this is for my health so I'm going to keep pushing. Thank you for your continued support. Hopefully I can spread more awareness of PCOS! I'm still learning about it so if any of you have tips please share!

A huge part of losing weight is believing you can do it , and realising it's not going to happen overnight. Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? Just look at the difference in my face, it says it all. It's doesn't happen overnight, you will have setbacks. But what's important is that you pick yourself back up after you've had those. Every day is a fresh start, a new chance. Believe in yourself. Just never stop trying, never give up 💗😀 #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #losingweight #fitnessmotivation #slimmingworld #selflove #beforeandafter #instagood #weightwatchers #bodytransformation #fatloss #weightlosstransformation #fitgirl #fitness #photooftheday #progress #transformation #dieting #diet #fitlife #healthyliving #training #determination #fitnessjourney #fitfam #inspire #fitspiration #eatclean #fitnessmotivation #bbg

I hardly remember the girl in the before picture, but I don't want to forget her. I don't want to forget what it was like to feel like a prisoner in my own body. The pain, the powerlessness to change. Change is slow and getting started is hard, but it's possible when broken down into tiny manageable habits. If you've never struggled with obesity, it's easy to think you just need to muster up a little discipline and put down the fork, but you're wrong. It's so much more complex than that. There's a reason why 95% of those who lose regain it and it's not because they're lazy. We probably judge ourselves more than you because we've all been taught that it's our fault. I'm working really hard to have compassion for myself – then and now –and for those who share the burden of obesity. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. But it doesn't make us bad or lazy or stupid, it makes us sick. and I'm sick of a culture that believes otherwise and marginalizes people who are trying and failing despite their other achievements. Sorry to go off on a tangent, but this disconnect in understanding and compassion pains me. I am strong willed and determined and pursue my dreams with vigor, but when it comes to this, if I let my guard down, I'll be back there in an instant. Seriously, eff obesity, but more than that, eff anyone who doesn't have compassion for those of us who are up against it. Excuse my language, it's the only word that feels appropriate this morning. Keep fighting the good fight babes and never give up. Happy Humpday 🐫

🎉It's officially my 1 year Fitaversary! 🎉 Over the past year I've kicked my ass in gear & really buckled down. My life so far has not gone in any way that I would have ever imagined, but this past year I've started to come into my own. Started becoming the person I wanna be! This past year I've lost 105 pounds since August 1,2016, and am down 145 pounds since April 2016. I've lost over 80+ inches since August 2016, and I will NEVER ever go back! I can't wait to see where another year will get me. I could have done more, but I'm human, and I make mistakes and never claim to be perfect... but I never gave up. Ever. I still tried every single day. I couldn't have done it without my buddies @rob_aof_trainer & @matthew_robinson for pushing me every single time I workout at @alloutforce For making me go harder every time. For not letting me slack! I'll never quit! #AoF #AoFgirls #happy #transformation #transformationtuesday #beforeandafter #glowup #fitaversary #justme

Do yourself a favor. Never forget where you started. Never forget how badly you wanted that change. Never forget how hard you fought just to start. It takes courage and strength to try. If you're teetering on the edge of a change, don't hesitate. I know... it's hard. It's worth it. Never forget. . . . This is my heaviest - over 300lbs in 2014. My thinnest (cut)- at 180 in May 2017. My current (bulk) at about 195. Each girl was fighting for something.

✖️There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results.✖️ - - Things I've learned in the last couple of years.. my tidbits of wisdom if you will.. haha 👇🏼 - - ⚡️ COMMITMENT because you're not always gonna be motivated. - - ⚡️ CONSISTENCY because anything worth doing takes time. - - ⚡️ SACRIFICE because there will be things you may have to give up for a time to reach your goals. - - ⚡️ BALANCE because what's the point of any of it if you're only gonna be miserable and not enjoy your life. - - ⚡️ GRACE because you're not perfect and you need to give yourself a break. - - One last thing, remember that your journey is YOURS and will look completely different from anyone else so trust the process and don't compare. Be confident that you will reach whatever goals you have.

...at the end of the day we all have something in common. We can wake up every single morning and TRY. TRY to do better than yesterday. Physically, mentally or emotionally. Just. TRY. Eventually all those small tries will lead to big accomplishments! #IAMMOTIV8 #fitforyouchallenge #weightlossjourney #weightlossmotivation #weightlosstransformation #weightloss #girlswholift
