I went from 245lbs to maintaining at 178lbs right now. I truly can’t remember a time that I didn’t want to lose weight or change my appearance which is exhausting. I’ve found a new love for fitness and nutrition and instead of it feeling like a chore it’s honestly the best part of my day. Jess helped me change my way of thinking, the idea of being strong and healthy and not just small. She told me once that a dream body that is a nightmare to upkeep isn’t a dream body and I really agree with that so much.

As someone who struggled with body image as long as I can remember, I no longer look in the mirror and have negative thoughts. It’s all positive. I’m taking more time/pride in my appearance again and enjoying wearing regular clothes outside of the gym and work.
