How I Lost 70 Lbs
After having my first son, I went from 140 to 207 at my heaviest. I tried and tried to get back to where I was only to fail only a few weeks in to whatever I was doing.
It wasn’t until I was pregnant with my 2nd son 3 years later that I came up with a tiered calorie restriction that finally worked and I lost 70 lbs dropping from 207 to 137. It was so much easier to do because I was still able to eat all my favorite foods and lose the weight.
Since then I have had two more kids and have been able to lose the baby weight each time with this same method. It has given me confidence in myself and my abilities and has helped me to step into the person I want to be regardless of the number on the scale.
In the meantime I hope this post is helpful to you and these 100 calorie snacks can help you reach your own health and fitness goals this year! What snack was your favorite?
