Prior to COVID I had gone to the gym five days a week for six months and only lost five pounds. My next program will be the latest body shaping series. I have done a few different programs that Pahla has and the variety is endless. Now I’ve settled into doing 30 to 35 minutes every day. After that I tried running and liked it a lot, but my knees did not. My first ten months were focused on weight loss and heart health. It’s true – weight loss, body shaping, heart health – consistency is key! Here’s a picture from today – I’ve been consistent for 18 months and I’m seeing itty bitty abs definition. Pahla preaches consistency as the main tenet of getting your goal. "My husband and our kids - who didn't even exist at the time - inspired me to change not only my health but my entire life," she shares.Do you feel frustrated with your fitness and weight loss goals, or do you sometimes wonder if weight loss over 50 is just a myth? Well my friend, I can assure you that it is not a myth, and I WOULD LOVE to show you some success stories that prove that you can lose weight and get in shape at any age.įor the first blog in this series, I am so excited to introduce these three wonderful women to you, and let you read their stories in their own words. In three and a half years, Bolden lost 150 pounds and credits her family for her weight loss motivation. Simultaneously, she started swimming and hiking and eventually felt comfortable running and lifting weights. So, Bolden started using the weight-loss app MyFitnessPal to track her nutrition intake and began adopting healthier eating habits. "I also wanted to start a family after dealing with PCOS and infertility." "I wanted to start taking better care of myself once I began getting sick and experiencing neurological symptoms," she tells Shape. It wasn't until she went partially blind and was diagnosed with early symptoms of multiple sclerosis, a chronic neurological disease, that she was forced to reevaluate her lifestyle. Even after being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in 2010, she struggled to make a change. "It's about inspiring people to realize that neither illness nor your weight define you and that you're so much stronger than you think."ĭespite trying multiple diets and exercise programs, Katie Bolden couldn't move the needle on the scale.
"Today, working out and eating healthy isn't about how awesome I look," she told Shape. Motivating Factor: You're Stronger Than You Think Lugo (a fitness trainer and wellness coach) helped people kickstart their own fitness journeys - following the same back-to-basics approach she used - as a trainer on Season 18 of The Biggest Loser. In just a year, Lugo had lost 122 pounds, but it took her another two years to reach her 150-pound weight-loss goal. It'll be that moment your head and heart say give up and that passion and want inside of you fights back." Not with a trainer or fitness guru," she wrote on Instagram.
"The hardest workout you'll ever do is in your head. When she began to see results, she realized that her greatest motivator was herself. She signed up for a Planet Fitness membership and focused on reducing her calorie intake and increasing her activity level. That's when she decided to lose weight by sticking to a simple plan. She could no longer play with her son, because at 322 pounds, she simply didn't have the energy. And Erica Lugo knew something had to change when she couldn't uphold them because of her weight.
Being a mother comes with a plethora of responsibilities.
