Fitnes blogerka Kelsey Wells je na svom Instagram profilu objavila tri fotografije sa tri različite težine. Na prvoj ima 65 kilograma, na drugoj 55, a na poslednjoj 63 kilograma.

Poenta je da više kila ne mora da znači i lošiji izgled.

“Jebeš vagu. Shvatila sam da je vreme za prijateljski, ali snažan podsetnik. Ljudi, prestanite da budete opsednuti vagom. Prestanite da mislite kako vaša težina odražava vaš razvoj i neka vaša težina ne utiče na vaše samopouzdanjae kao što je to nekad bilo sa mnom”, napisala je.

Pogledajte je kako izgleda i to posle porođaja:

 

SCREW THE SCALE || I figured it was time for a friendly, yet firm reminder. YOU GUYS. PLEASEEEEEE STOP GETTING HUNG UP ON THE NUMBER ON THE STUPUD SCALE! PLEASE STOP THINKING YOUR WEIGHT EQUALS YOUR PROGRESS AND FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING PLEASE STOP LETTING YOR WEIGHT HAVE ANY AFFECT WHATSOEVER ON YOUR SELF ESTEEM, like I used to. To any of you who are where I once was, please listen to me. I am 5′ 7″ and weigh 140 lbs. When I first started #bbg I was 8 weeks post partum and 145 lbs. I weighed 130 before getting pregnant, so based on nothing besides my own warped perception, I decided my “goal weight” should be 122 and to fit into my skinniest jeans. Well after a few months of BBG and breastfeeding, I HIT IT and I fit into those size 0 jeans. Well guess what? I HAVE GAINED 18 POUNDS SINCE THEN. EIGHT FREAKING TEEN. Also, I have gone up two pant sizes and as a matter of fact I ripped those skinny jeans wide open just the other week trying to pull them up over my knees. My point?? According to my old self and flawed standards, I would be failing miserably. THANK GOODNESS I finally learned to start measuring my progress by things that matter — strength, ability, endurance, health, and HAPPINESS. Take progress photos and videos. Record how many push-ups you can do, ect. And if you can, your BFP — there is only a 5 lb difference between my starting and current weight, but my body composition has changed COMPLETELY. I have never had more muscle and less body fat than I do now. I have never been healthier than I am now. I have never been more comfortable in my own skin than I am now. And if I didn’t say #screwthescale long ago, I would have gave up on my journey. So to the little teeny tiny voice in the back of my head that still said “wtf is this- not 140!?” last week when I stepped on the scale, I say SCREW. YOU. And I think you should probably say the same to your scale too. #byefelicia ⚖ . . #bbgprogress #transformationtuesday #fit #fitness #workout #fitmom #fitchick #fitfam #fitnesstransformation #beforeandafter #sweat #mysweatlife #girlswithmuscle #girlgains #strongnotskinny

HI GUYS!! A tonnnn of you have asked about what I eat and I will be doing a BIG food post answering all your questions soon I promise. In the meantime I will try and share more food diaries. So. HERE’S EVERYTHING I ATE TODAY: MEAL 1: Chicken burrito bowl (yes for breakfast- it sounded good ok). SNACK 1: Fresh peach in milk drizzled with honey. MEAL 2: salad with grilled chicken breast topped with salsa and shredded cheese, SNACK 2: fresh pineapple and a protein bar. POST WORKOUT: One scoop whey protein and my BCAAs. MEAL 3: Tortilla soup loaded with chicken and veggies, topped with plain Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, and few crispy little tortilla strip things. SNACK 3: Lenny and Larry’s chocolate chip cookie (yes A WHOLE ONE) topped with a small scoop of ice cream (yes REAL ice cream not protein ice cream). Fun fact, I EAT AT LEAST 2200 CALORIES EVERY DAY. Because believe it or not, our bodies need food!!! (Best news EVER ammiright!?) In all seriousness, the only times in my fitness journey I felt like I was stagnant or losing progress, it turned out to be because I wasn’t eating ENOUGH. Eat clean but EAT!! Your body needs fuel to function. You cannot lose fat or gain muscle if you’re not eating enough. Starvation or serious calorie restriction is NOT the answer. || IN OTHER NEWS it was #BBG #cardio day for me so I LISSed it up #mysweatlifelissfromhell style (search my blog if you want the full explanation of what that is) with a few minutes of HIIT mixed in. That is pretty much all I have been doing lately for LISS since we moved to TX and I don’t have my mountains to climb (). Speaking of TX — it was rainy today so I left to do errands in long sleeves- you KNOW it’s been obscenely hot when 82 degrees feels cool. || HOPE YOU ALL HAD THE BEST DAY!! Happiest FRIYAY EVE YOU SEXY BEASTS! . . . . . . #healthy #happy #workout #fitness #fitfam #sweat #mysweatlife #thesweatlife #sweatwithkayla #fitspo #fitmom #fitchick #fitspiration #cleaneating #athleisure #bbgbabes #bbgcommunity #bbgmums #bbgmoms #bbggirls #bbgfam #girlgains

8 WKS POST-BABY to 84 WKS OF BBG || Of the million things running through my mind that I want to share with you guys about my #bbgprogress and what I have learned since beginning @kayla_itsines program, most important is first and foremost that I am HEALTHIER and HAPPIER than I ever have been. I am kinder to myself. I am confident in myself. Not just in my ability to jump on a box or do commandos, but in WHO I AM. As a wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend and in being unapologetically my imperfect SELF. Through #BBG I found my passion for fitness and healthy living and it is truly a journey of growing mentally and emotionally as well as physically. I AM BETTER THAN NO ONE. No one is better than anyone. We are each 100% one-of-a-kind and irreplaceable. We each have our own struggles, strengths, and stories. And we EACH deserve to be happy, healthy, and BELIEVE IN OURSELVES. || I’m so thankful for my (continuing) #bbgtransformation and all that has come along with striving to live a healthier lifestyle. And you guys!!! As cheesy as it sounds, it is LITERALLY SO TRUE so imma say it anyway — if I can do it, SO CAN YOU. || . . . . . #mysweatlife #getoutandsweat #happy #healthy #fitmom #sweat #sweatwithkayla #fit #fitness #fitchick #fitnesstransformation #beforeandafter #fitfam #workout #girlswithmuscle #girlgains #bbgfam #bbglife #bbgmums #bbgmoms #bbgbabes

Annnnnd #bbg #arms #deathbykayla done and dusted. Me and #armday will never be besties, but there is definitely satisfaction in getting it done anyway! You know that quote we have all heard a million times?- “don’t give up what you want most for what you want now.” Well every Wednesday it comes to mind. I push through cause even though I want to skip arms so badly, I want to strengthen them and take care of them more. Cheesy but TRUE! Remember why you’re doing this. When you don’t feel like eating healthy or exercising, take a moment to remind yourself why you chose this journey to begin with, and be thankful that you are even able. Goodnight my friends!!! . . . . . . #girlswithmuscle #workout #fitness #fitspo #fit #mombod #fitfam #fitchick #fitnessjourney #fitnessmotivation #bbgbabes #bbggirls #bbgcommunity #bbgarms #musclesbykayla #sweat #getoutandsweat #mysweatlife

|| 111 LBS vs 136 LBS || My greatest regret looking back on my highschool and college years was not ALLOWING myself to be confident and happy with my body EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS. For as long as I can remember I struggled with self confidence. In my mind the poison of comparison was constant. I picked myself apart and genuinely believed if I could just lose just a few pounds, or if a certain boy liked me, THEN I would love my body. Flash forward to the photo on the left, my freshman year of college. My anxiety disorder was taking its toll and I lost more than a few pounds. I was also dating the most amazing, supportive boy of my dreams (hi @rpwells ☺️) who told me I was beautiful every day. But guess what? I STILL struggled with self confidence and I STILL felt I would be happier if I could lose a few pounds. It was looking at this photo that somehow snapped me out of it and with the support of Ryan and my family I began to heal. Changing my mindset was anything but immediate and negative self talk is something I still battle with at times and will always need to be wary of. But it really is my MENTAL transformation that has been the greatest since discovering @kayla_itsines #bbg program. Just weeks into it, loving myself and positive self talk came easier to me than it ever had over the last 8 years of fighting for it. Not because I saw immediate physical results, but because I was finally treating my body how it DESERVED to be treated. Living an active and healthy lifestyle is my key to freeing my mind from anxiety and replacing self doubt with self confidence. I share this with you because maybe it can be your key too. Because right now, just the way you are, you are BEAUTIFUL. And you deserve to know it.❤️ . . . #transformationtuesday #fitness #fitchick #fitmom #fitfam #fit #strong #healthy #happy #fitspo #fitnessmotivation #workout #girlgains #bbgprogress #screwthescale #bbgcommunity #strongissexy #selflove

The only way my hair has any volume whatsoever: soak with sweat, cover with dry shampoo, repeat x3 hahaha it’s day four so washing my hair is now inevitable. || HAPPY FRIYAY EVERYBODY!! #BBG #abs is goin down later and basically I’m stoked about it. || I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’m still recovering from my holiday (over)indulgences, so I won’t be having a huge cheat meal this weekend. I used to literally think that I could NOT enjoy my weekend or celebrate things without a whole lot of “cheat” eating. Food is so social and fun and um freaking delicious!! But you CAN have fun without eating a ton of crap, and you will definitely feel better come Monday. I like to find/bake a “clean” treat, like my oatmeal cookie dough bites (recipe on blog), that will make the weekend feel special but won’t completely derail me. || What are your plans this weekend!? Don’t forget to #getoutandsweat !! . . . . . . #happy #healthy #mysweatlife #fitmom #fitchick #fitnessmotivation #fitspo #fitfam #fit #fitness #workout #bbgmoms #bbgmums #weekend #weekendvibes #bbgbabes #bbglife

#tbt to a couple weeks ago at @cosmopolitan and the first time I’ve ever worn my hair up NOT in a ponytail… This may or may not be due to the fact that I can’t braid my own hair.|| ITS FRIYAY EVE MY FRIENDS!! Let’s let go of negativity and let in the sunshine.☀️We cannot control what others say or do, and there will be times we are hurt. But whether that pain is physical or emotional, what we CAN control is how we react to it and guess what? WE DON’T HAVE TO CARRY THAT SHIZ AROUND. Just as we need to care for our physical injuries, we need to care for emotional ones as well. By letting go of grudges and anger and negativity (towards others but also TOWARDS OURSELVES) we let the healing begin. “Bitterness keeps you from flying — always stay humble and kind.” Tim McGraw knows what’s up.|| Now let’s #getoutandsweat !! . . . . . . #bbg #bbgmums #bbgmoms #bbgbabes #bbggirls #bbgcommunity #sweat #mysweatlife #sweatwithkayla #workout #fit #fitness #fitspo #fitchick #fitmom #fitnessmotivation #healthy #happy

CURRENT FAVE BREAKFAST of a large fresh peach diced/in milk/drizzled with honey + 1 egg and 3 egg whites scrambled with red pepper/spinach/tomato sprinkled with cheese then SWIMMING TILL LUNCH TIME is on repeat over here. After lunch is naptime (dicey these days) then after nap we’ll be off to the gym for #BBG #arms ! SUMMER WE FREAKING LOVE YA. || Also before I forget! A bunch of you have asked what fitness tracker I’m currently using- it’s the @fitbit blaze and it’s pretty chill I guess. Haha 100% honest I LOVE IT- although lately I have started to notice that sometimes the HR isn’t super accurate during HIIT. It is really accurate for LISS and my BBG workouts, but it seems like it has a hard time picking up when I go from “zero to sixty” if you will. I’m not too worried about it because I can feel when I’m at my max, but for anyone who needs precise HR in the moment, I would recommend a fitness tracker that has a HR strap (in my opinion @garmin is the best brand for that.) || NOW LET’S SLAY WEDNESDAY SHALL WE!? . . . . . #getoutandsweat #bbggirls #bbgmoms #bbgmums @bbgsisters #bbgbabes #bbgfam #bbglife #bbgcommunity #sweat #mysweatlife #sweatwithkayla #thesweatlife #girlswithmuscle #fitspo #fitspiration #workout #fit #fitfam #fitness #fitmom

|| HOW || “I love that you always talk about the importance of loving yourself and having a positive mindset, but how? How do I actually start doing this?” I’m not a psychologist or therapist or hero or anything else that might even remotely qualify me to speak on this topic, and I CERTAINLY am not perfect at it. BUT, I believe with my whole heart this is the most important aspect of living a healthy, happy life. And for some reason (so far beyond me) you have given me this platform to share with you what I think, so I would be so far remiss if I didn’t at least try to answer you. HOW. How did I start loving myself? How did I change my mindset?? I can’t answer honestly without being spiritual. Whenever I have struggled with self esteem and self love, I’ve always found comfort first in remembering that my worth is eternal and my Savior’s love for me is without limits or conditions, free of boundaries placed upon me by myself or society. Recognize and believe that right now, JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, you are beautiful to Him. Next, STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO ANYONE ELSE. Comparison truly is the thief of joy. I STILL get sucked into this at times and it is TOXIC. Social media can be a great source of inspiration and support, but if you instead find your scrolling taking a negative toll on your thoughts and self love, STOP. Unfollow me. Unfollow whoever it is. Don’t waste any more energy getting sucked into the dark hole of thinking you aren’t enough or wanting to look like someone else. WE ARE ALL ONE OF A KIND. And we are ALL beautiful. If needed, take time away from social media to unplug and remember that another’s beauty does NOT take away from your own. Next, fill your life with those that LOVE you. It is hard enough to love ourselves. We don’t need to waste effort trying to convince others to do the same. You will never please everyone, so be un-ashamedly your beautiful self and spend your energy on those who see your worth and love and support you unconditionally. My last piece of advice is to take care of yourself physically. Once I began caring for my body the way it deserved, I started to see it really did deserve to be cared for. || I LOVE YOU GUYS.❤️

Given my weird half smile, baby hairs flying in the breeze, and super awkward limp wrist () this photo should definitely be considered an “outtake”. Like.. what am I even doing here? But ya know what? Of all the photos from this shoot, this one is ma fave. I feel like this could perhaps be the truest portrayal of me ever captured. In all seriousness, I sometimes see flexing or jumping pics of myself and think what!? Who is that girl! Not that I’m saying I look so great or anything, it’s just that I honestly am still surprised sometimes to see a photo of myself looking fit and strong. As women we can be so hard on ourselves. I have never been this fit before, so in my mind I don’t really picture myself how many of the photos I post portray me. I am SO thankful to be healthy and strong, and have worked very hard for my physical progress, but I love this photo because it just feels like ME, and reminds me of the most important progress I have made in my fitness journey. The girl in this photo is HAPPY. Comfortable in her own (slightly awkward) skin, carefree, confident, and happy. From all that my body has been through- healthy, to unhealthy and underweight, through pregnancy and post pregnancy, to healthy, lean, and strong this girl has been there. And the greatest progress I have made has been learning to really see her, and be her. And no matter what my body goes through or how it changes over the rest of my life, THAT is progress I will never lose. Goals and “gains” are great. But let your #1 goal be to always be YOURSELF, and love yourself. To “gain” confidence in the incredibly beautiful, talented, strong, unique person that you are. That you always have been, and always will be.❤️ . #bbg #bbgprogress #bbggirls #mysweatlife #fitmom #fitness #workout #fitfam #happy #youdoyou #memorialday #motivation #mondaymotivation #fitspo #fitspiration #fitchick #bbgmums #bbgmoms
