First, she started with the foods she ate.

“I follow balanced macros, which for me means that I try to ensure 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,” Wood explained.

exercising was also a crucial part of the process. After consulting a personal instructor and getting started on working out, wood was surprised to find that she really enjoyed it.

Skipped the cardio today after today’s crazy spin class and jut focused on a back and bicep workout followed by some abs and accessory muscles. Felt the burn and tried a few new things which was fantastic! Lat pull down, seated dumbbell curl, shotgun row, reverse barbell curl, medicine ball slam, cable row, hammer curl, ez bar curl and then the thigh adductor and abductor machine. Finished up with flutter kicks, sit ups, and dead bugs. . . . . #fatloss #fattofit #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #workoutmotivation #naturalweightloss #countingcalories #weightlosscommunity #healthyhabits #girlswholift #goaldigger #extremeweightloss #150lbslost #sweatitout #obesetobeast #effyourbeautystandards #dailyfitness #workforchange #chasinggoals #weightlossblogger #feeltheburn #bestrongerthanyourexcuses #getupandmove #showyourhustle

perhaps the most essential thing wood learned was to set several small goals for herself, rather than focusing on her end goal: to lose 2 hundred pounds.

“five pounds is much more manageable than the two hundred pounds.”

She also got into the habit of drinking a lot more water each day.

“before I started my weight loss journey I drank perhaps 1L of water a day and never felt thirst. i have now worked my way up to about 4L of water per day and crave it all of the time,” wood said.

If you want to make a change, you CAN. Whether it’s your style, your hair colour or your weight...you can change any of it! 😉 . . . . . . #fatloss #fattofit #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #workoutmotivation #naturalweightloss #countingcalories #weightlosscommunity #healthyhabits #girlswholift #goaldigger #extremeweightloss #150lbslost #sweatitout #obesetobeast #noexcuses #effyourbeautystandards #workforchange #chasinggoals #weightlossblogger #feeltheburn #bestrongerthanyourexcuses #noexcuses #getupandmove #transformation #facetofacefriday #beforeandafterweightloss

“I’ve changed all my calorie-filled beverages with zero-calorie options, keep my body well hydrated and feel so much better! i have way less headaches, more energy, less hunger pangs, clearer skin…there are tons of advantages of staying hydrated.”

wood did a incredible job of sticking to all of these changes, and over the course of two years, it paid off in a huge way. She’d lost one hundred fifty pounds, but gained her life and confidence back. Now she hopes to inspire and encourage others to do the same.

It’s #transformationtuesday - so here is my before and during. No after yet, but I’m working on it. My during may be similar to many peoples before photos, but it took a hell of a lot of hard work and focus to lose the first 150 pounds and I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come so far! 💪🏻🤛🏻 . . . . . #fatloss #fattofit #fat2fit #obesetobeast #weightloss #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightlossmotivation #weightlossblogger #transformationinprogress #f2f #girlswholift #workoutmotivation #mealsharing #countingcalories #weightlosscommunity #healthyhabits #goaldigger #workinprogress #fitlife #extremeweightloss #extremetransformation #facetoface #beforeandafterweightloss #beforeandduring #naturalweightloss #fitstagram #workforchange #aboutme

“you will have days where you want to give up, where you get astray, or where you struggle. just don’t give up. grant yourself grace and get back on track with your next meal or next workout.”
