Beyond proud of my nutrition client 1οΈβ£ MONTH TRANSFORMATION ππ₯ππ₯
This busy mom of 2, who also works full time, wanted to shed some lbs while also creating healthy eating habits she could make last! She was able to enjoy foods she loves, like pizza π while counting her macros & didnt feel restricted π€
My nutrition coaching program is meant to cater to your LIFESTYLE. It is meant to educate you ππ
How many times have you complained youre eating healthy but still havent dropped the weight? π«
How many times have you tried following someone's meal plan only to quit a few days into it? πββοΈ
A "meal plan" is not going to have pizza listed on there π€ͺ Why? Because those plans are short term. They dont educate you. They dont cater to your sweet tooth. They dont cater to the alcohol you like to drink or the salty foods you like to enjoy.

I BUILT MY CURVES πβ³ Let's talk about how you can build yours too π£ππ₯
πStay on a structured plan that utilizes progressive overload & time under tension. Lifting heavier & heavier is not the answer & may lead to injury. Ive developed a Build a B***y program with instructional videos you can do at home or the gym for less than $1/day (link in bio)
πGlute activation is a must! Yall dont knock regular b***y bands that go around your ankles/knees. I carry a couple in my gym bag & even on my key chain for a reason π₯π₯
πIncrease your carb intake. This doesnt mean eat a bunch of pasta or junk after a leg day. Try adding more complex carbs to refuel those muscles ππ₯πͺ
πStay consistent πͺ Start out training your glutes 2xs a week & be sure to wear you Bold Body BFR bands to see gains sooner π«π Order yours today & let's get these b***y gains!

I love the woman Ive become because Ive fought to become her πͺπ I used to live by what other people (close family, friends, coworkers) said about me. I was too this & too that. Their words would play on repeat in my head & affected my self-confidence & how I viewed myself.
These people are toxic for your mental health. Their opinions on YOUR life do not matter. They arenβt signing your paycheck, they arenβt putting food on your table.
Now when I look in the mirror, I see a strong, bold, beautiful woman, who loves herself. I am confident in my body & my decisions. I do not hold anyone else's opinion above my own π
At the end of the day, I realized Iβm not everyoneβs cup of tea...because Iβm a fu***ng piping hot mocha latte βοΈπ₯π
Happy Friday yall π

My secret for losing 95 lbs? I prioritized myself π₯° When I was married, I gave all my love & energy to my marriage π I prioritized my marriage over myself as an individual. I felt so lost going through the divorce because my sole identity was "wife" ππ
When I worked for corporate, I gave my time (working long hours & through lunch) to those companies. I made someone else rich while robbing time from myself & my family. I gained 65+ lbs & was eventually laid off in 2019 π€π
Being a mom, I used to put my kids needs before mine. My kids were mostly happy but I wasnt every time I looked in the mirror & well we know if mama aint happy, aint no else happy ππ₯Ί
I had to prioritize myself first π¨βπ©βπ¦ which meant I needed to make time for myself, daily. Whether thats working out, taking a lunch & not rushing through it, mental breaks, therapy, etc π
I realized if you don't take control over your time & your life, other people will. If you don't prioritize yourself, you will fall lower & lower on your list π

Hey yall π My name is Andrea Elliott & Ive lost 94 lbs through counting macros, lifting weights, HIIT & intermittent fasting ποΈββοΈ
I started my weight loss journey in Dec 2014, after being diagnosed with Lupus π€
Easiest way to describe Lupus is instead of my body fighting off illnesses like yours does, my body fights itself & targets my tissues & organs π Lupus is extremely painful. I live everyday of my life in pain but Ive learned to cope with it.
I also battle Hypothyroidism & have Hashimotos as well π£
During my weight loss journey and since Dec 2014 I have:
πgone through a painful divorce
π©βπ¦βπ¦become a single mom to 2 boys
π©βπΌbeen laid off from my corporate job after turning my boss in for sexual harassment
πͺBuilt Bold Body Fitness πͺ
πLost a total of 94 lbs
π€Now have been diagnosed with PCOS
I lost count of the number of times I cried myself to sleep, asked why me, wanted to give up, doubted my potential, felt alone/misunderstood ππ
But I didnt stay in that head space, despite whatever was going on in my life at the time.
I π§ββοΈgotπ©βπ¦―back πΆββοΈupπββοΈ
One thing is for certain, we are guaranteed to face challenges. All of us. It is how we respond to those challenges that make us who we are πββοΈ
You are not your circumstances; you are your possibilities π Believe that all things are possible & believe in yourself!

How did I achieve this? Folks, I started out going to the gym 4xs/week. I still train 4xs/week πββοΈπββοΈ
Anything less is maintenance, if even that. Anything more & my body cannot recover.
I started out at almost 240 lbs. 2 kids. Just diagnosed with Lupus, so the gym was complete agony to me but I knew I couldnt live my life like this anymore. This wasnt life. This wasnt living.
I worked full time. I was married. I had a lot depending on me & made every excuse I could think of as to why I couldnt gym or lose weight until I ran out of excuses.
When someone tells me they want these same results but they dont have time, the money, its too inconvenient for them, it doesnt work with their schedule, etc, it reminds me of old Andrea. Old Andrea who made everyone & everything else a priority but herself.
Old Andrea who emotionally ate to cope. Who started a new diet on Monday & by Wednesday I gave up. Old Andrea who could "never lose the weight" so I would try the newest diet pill, cleanse, diet, etc.
Old Andrea is still around but I gotta check that bitch when she wants to stay home from the gym or when she wants to go back to old habits that no longer serve me.
My determination to never go back to old Andrea is what motivates me. What motivates YOU?
