Keyonna's Journey to Fit Chick

We'll Cook the Food, You'll Lose the Weight!

I went from 307 lbs to 180 lbs in a year
"You will ALWAYS have your haters and people saying you can't do something or you will not stick with it because you never have before. Use that as your motivation, tell them and yourself  YES I CAN AND YES I WILL"

Q: Tell me what your life was like before deciding to get fit?

My life always was about "FOOD" If someone were to make me upset , sad, or talked about my weight I would cry about it and just eat my pain away..

Q:What was that moment like? The moment you decided that you weree  fed up with being unhealthy?

It was so sad. I would always cry, I had friends, but they weren't friends that would try and help me workout or tell me that I needed to start to workout..I became fed up with being unhealthy when I ended up in the ER hooked up to a machine.

Q: What was your first step?


My first step was instead of using the elevator I would take the stairs and I would walk at least 30 mins a day... I also did a 30 challenge for summer in May last year..


Q:Where there in obstacles in your way? How did you overcome them?


Yes!  The boy's I've dated have always been smaller than me and everyone knows I love to cook! So with them eating when and whatever they wanted, I would too-- even if I wasn't hungry. Eventually I ended up having to buy size 22/24 and sometimes a size 26 pants and thats when I said no more eating whatever I want!

Q:What was your meal plan?

I started to use this website called my fitness pal. It helped me track my food, water intake and workouts. I started to eat every 2-3 hours 4-6 times a day, to keep me from getting hungry.  Having a desk job I get bored so I want to eat!

Q: What has been your proudest moment on this journey?


My proudest moment was when I went from 307 pounds May 7,2011 to 180 pounds May 7, 2012! I never thought I would stick with this, because it has always been soooooo hard for me to stick with eating right and working out..But now this is my life and I will turn  back..

Q:What advice can you give to the Fit Chicks?

NEVER GIVE UP!! If you really want to reach your goal, stick with it. If I could push myself everyday to eat right and workout at 307 pounds then so can you. You will ALWAYS have your haters and people saying you can't do something or you wont stick with it because you never have before. Use that as your motivation, tell them and yourself YES I CAN AND YES I WILL...

Q: If you can say anything to your former self, what would it be?

DO NOT LET WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU LEAD TO FOOD!!!
