I’m so happy I decided to start my journey with GFit Wellness GFIT Wellness Coaching One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed is that I actually feel full. The cravings and constant snacking are gone, which is something I never thought I’d say. It did take about a full week for my body to adjust to the higher protein intake, but once it did, everything started to fall into place.

I’ve been following my coach’s Anthony Angelo Guzzi nutrition and workout plan, and the scale is finally moving in the right direction. Anyone who knows me knows I’ve lost a significant amount of weight , and honestly eating used to scare me. This time feels different. I’m embracing the process 100% and trusting myself along the way.

My nightly Creami treat has become my favorite snack and something I genuinely look forward to every evening. And let’s talk about Starbucks for a second. Before starting, I was there 3–4 times a day. In the last 10 days? Zero visits. I still crave it some mornings, but after I eat, that craving disappears. These days, my morning caffeine comes from my pre-workout, and that’s been more than enough to get me going.

And here’s something I never thought I’d say: I’m actually starting to enjoy cardio. Anyone who knows me knows I’ve always hated cardio, so the fact that I’m looking forward to it some days is shocking. Who is this girl?!

The accountability has been incredible. My coach checks in randomly throughout the week, which keeps me focused and motivated. Knowing someone is invested in my success makes a huge difference.

I’m so grateful I chose this path. For the first time in a long time, I can see the finish line. It’s been a long journey, but I finally feel like I’m getting exactly where I need to be. I’m excited, committed and disciplined to hit that finish line.

FAT vs MUSCLE

Same weight.
Very different volume.

The yellow represents 1lbs of body fat.
The red represents 1lbs of muscle.

Muscle is much denser than fat, which means it takes up less space in your body.

This is why:
✔️ The scale may not change much
✔️ Your clothes fit differently
✔️ Your body shape changes
✔️ Inches are often more important than pounds

Don’t let the number on the scale define your progress.

Focus on building strength, improving health, and changing body composition.

The goal isn’t to weigh less. The goal is to be healthier, stronger, and feel your best.

Knowledge is power.

Today I completed a DEXA Scan at .ca to get a clear picture of my body composition, including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and bone density.

Progress isn’t just about the number on the scale. Understanding what’s happening inside your body helps you make informed decisions and track real results.

Excited to see where I am today and where I’m headed next.

I’m going to be real for a minute.

The end of this weight loss journey has honestly been the hardest part for me mentally. After losing so much weight, seeing the scale go up even a few pounds has completely messed with my head lately. It feels defeating. Some days I spiral over a 1 lb increase, and after being on this journey for so long, that’s something I’m still struggling with.

What’s frustrating is that my motivation is still here. I’m not giving up. Not even close. But mentally? I’ve been exhausted. My energy levels are low.

The truth is, my issue isn’t overeating… it’s actually the opposite. Some days I’m only eating one meal because I get overwhelmed, stressed, busy, or stuck in my own thoughts. I know my body needs more. I know I need to fuel myself properly instead of punishing myself every time the scale doesn’t do what I want it to do.

Yes, I could go buy another copy-and-paste meal plan, but I’m realizing this journey is bigger than that. I need to learn what MY body needs, what works for ME, and how to create balance without letting the number on the scale control my mental health.

This setback is real. The struggle is real. And right now, I’m feeling it hard. But I also know setbacks don’t erase progress. I’m surrounded by the fitness community , where we all support each other . They see my struggles and my tears and never judge just push me to be better than yesterday . Im grateful for this community of friends in my life.

So I’ll keep showing up. Even on the hard days.

No regrets for oversharing my life, my journey, my hopes, my thoughts , or my dreams. Every story I’ve shared came from a real place, and every moment shaped who I am today.

I’m grateful for all the amazing and incredible people I’ve inspired along the way, and even more grateful for those who inspired me when I needed it most. Every connection, conversation, lesson, and shared moment became part of the person I continue to grow into.

That honesty, passion, vulnerability, and belief in something bigger is what creates real human connection. And I’ll never apologize for being fully human.
