Here, three women share the biggest motivators in their weight-loss journeys and the simple changes they made to actually achieve their health goals. Alyssa Greene The stress of starting college and continuous late nights caused Alyssa Greene to develop an unhealthy relationship with her body. Though she exercised, she didn’t pay much attention to her diet and her overall health until she realized a change had to be made. Over the next 2.5 years, she self-educated about nutrition and learnt what and how much to eat to get the results she wanted. Today, Greene has lost 50 pounds and relies on self-discipline as her key motivator. “I do what I want for me, no one else,” she says. “For people who have a hard time making a lifestyle change because of family or friends or a significant other, it really boils down to discipline.” Tanisha Commodore For years, Tanisha Commodore left no stone unturned when it came to weight loss strategies. After trying countless workout programmes and weight-loss diets, the desperate influencer began entertaining the idea of going to Mexico for weight-loss surgery when her friend happened to recommend a special diet. Over eight months, Commodore lost 80 pounds. “You didn’t put it on overnight, so don’t expect to lose it overnight,” she notes. Denita Elizabeth At one point, Denita Elizabeth weighed over 250 pounds and couldn’t remember what it felt like to be healthy. Having made up her mind to make a change, Elizabeth signed up for a SoulCycle membership. Today she’s lost 100 pounds. “Not only had my strength increased, but my whole body composition changed,” says Elizabeth. “Remember: you need to develop discipline and commitment for the moments when you don’t feel like it.” 1.
