Here’s a vulnerable post for me…
These photos are 6 weeks apart, and they’re of the body part I’m the most self-conscious about: my legs.
I still have a LONG way to go—10 more months to grow these stems, lose more fat, and continue improving my cellulite. But progress is progress, and I’m proud of myself for finally doing the work.
Cellulite facts (bc we don’t talk about it enough):
• Cellulite affects around 90–95% of women, no matter their weight, fitness level, or body shape.
• It’s caused by the way fat, muscle, and connective tissue are structured—not because someone is “out of shape.”
• It’s normal, common, genetic, and not a sign of poor health.
Basically… most women have it, and none of us should feel ashamed of it.
In the pics you can clearly see 127 lbs (before) vs 121 lbs (after). The difference isn’t just the scale—it’s the quality of the work.
And here’s the ironic part…
At 127 lbs my metabolism was a mess because I was under-eating. I was eating only 1200 calories. Now? I’m eating 1500 calories at 121 lbs and my body is responding SO much better.
Even though I’m a fitness coach and I know what to do, I’ll be real:
I wasn’t pushing myself.
I wasn’t doing cardio.
I wasn’t doing abs.
I was going to the gym 3–4 days a week for 30–40 minutes and half-assing my workouts.
Working with Mike Ciulla changed that. He made me see my weaknesses and gave me the accountability I truly needed. Now I push myself because I want to make him proud, I want to make my team proud, and most importantly—I want to make myself proud.
This is just the beginning.
Six weeks down… many more to go. 💪🔥
Ps. And yes, I'm on Hormone replacement therapy Estrogen (patch) and Progesterone, and I love it, I feel human again, please feel free to message me if you have any questions.
