She Lost 140 Pounds After Finding Indoor Cycling and Eating a Mostly Paleo Diet

I had struggled with my weight since I was very young. And even if I lost weight as I got older, I would gain it all back. My husband and I moved abroad to Shanghai, China in 2014. And when COVID happened, I gained more weight than ever. The scale read 320 pounds. I found it hard to walk for more than 10 minutes at a time. I couldn’t walk to my bedroom on the third floor of our house without being out of breath. I honestly hated seeing myself this way, but didn’t know how to fix it. The biggest health problem I had was not having a regular menstrual cycle. I am at the age and point in my relationship that we want to have children, and I needed to fix this problem. My family also has a history of diabetes and heart attacks, and I knew I was not far from that. So I began my second weight loss journey on July 17, 2020. I knew that I wanted to live a happy life with my husband and our future children, but it started with me and myself.
