My story and tips on how I lost 55 pounds in 4 months.

Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself inside and out. (My story)
It's true. Everyone should feel beautiful inside and out. Everyone. But for me I felt like that beauty also has to do with being healthy and feeling like you are healthy. Being in a shape and actually feeling confident with yourself. Before I went to my weight lost journey i didn't feel confident about how I looked and I feel like a lot of girls or even woman can relate to me. I never did anything about it, until one day I went to the doctors for a physical and my doctor had told me that i needed to start losing weight because I was so close to getting diabetes.  Imagine being 15 years old and having diabetes? Well that was my turning point. My brother was kind enough to help me loose weight since I knew nothing about eating healthy.
How I did it.
My brother and I started to run around my block. Whoever knows me knows that I hate running! I hate anything that feels like I am working out basically because most of those workouts require using your body. In a week I gave up running. I remember thinking "this is not for me I am never going to lose weight like this." So a couple weeks later I was lucky enough to find this workout video called "Hip hop abs" by Shawn T on eBay for $7.00. Uh, $7.00 for a workout video that is guaranteed to help you lose weight? I think yes! I love dancing and I also did research on it and everyone one who tried this video out loved it and they said that this video helped them lose a lot of weight and they attached pictures and I saw their before and after, and it gave me motivation. If they can do it I can also. So I got the video. I loved it so much and I defiantly recommend it to anyone who is trying to lose weight. Check it out! YouTube has trailers on this video.
Tips on what to eat. (Try to eat between 1,200 -1,500 calories a day. If trying to loose weight)
Now that you know what workout video helped me I want to talk about what I ate to help me lose weight as well. I am not a professional so I don't know if what I am about to listed is hat you are supposed to eat when you are trying to lose weight, but this is what helped me.
