Monica here from Spice Yourself Skinny. Monica, I'm gonna let you introduce yourself. Let us know how much you lost in Spice Yourself Skinny. Tell us like, where it came off of. We want to hear the details of what happened to you in Spice Yourself Skinny.
Well, hello, everyone. Let's see. I started with your. What is it? The 13 spices, I believe the setting that you provided today.
Challenge.
Yes, yes. So I started with that and it was exactly about a week before the start yourself. I mean, Spice Yourself skimmy for the eight week program. At that point, I had started at 156 pounds and within the first week I lost about 2 pounds. So I was pretty much set and ready to start the next eight weeks at that point. I was at a point where I just needed something that can work with me. I started at 154, technically, and I ended at 140. My waist when I first started was 39 and a half. That was really, really bad considering that my husband's waist was 40. That was not gonna fly. So that was really, really a sad moment for me, an awakening moment. Today at 140, I am 32 inches on my waist.
Wow. Oh, so you lost seven, like seven inch. That is so. Oh, you lost. Oh my God. You lost seven inches around your waist. That's like the problem area and that.
And then it took.
That came off in the eight weeks, right?
Yes. Wow.
Oh, my gosh.
Most of it came off, I'd say probably within the first three to four weeks. And that was a lot of bloat, to be honest with you. I think a lot of it had to do with the garbage that I had in my stomach. So I think going through the first two to three weeks was probably the most changes that I had seen. They were dramatic at that point.
They were dramatic. Oh, my gosh. Wow. That's incredible. So, ok, so tell me a little bit about what clothes you used to wear before you lost the weight and now, like what clothes do you wear now?
I would wear a lot of layers. Let's dress up the fat. Let's try to hide it today. Let's see what I can wear to kind of take away from my arms, from my gut. It was a lot of large, flowy tops and that's basically how I would dress myself every day. How can I cover, cover it all up. Now I wear my form fitting clothes that I didn't wear in a while. So it's a really nice feeling.
Yes. Oh, my gosh. And you wear like these really, really beautiful clothes. Like they're totally form fitting. They're sexy. Like you look like super sexy. It's like you can wear, you can pull out the leopard now. You can pull out the black dresses. It's like, oh my gosh. Like the fitted black dresses. You're not the flowy ones, so. Oh my gosh. So how does it feel to have this weight come off? Like how does it felt to you?
It feels really, really good. It's actually been a positive on my health. I live in a condo where there's a lot of steps and every day, I mean, I was practically hyperventilating by the time I got to step two. So it was really hard. My knees were hurting and I'm not a very big person. I'm only five feet tall. So any little extra weight makes a huge impact on my health. So I was noticing a lot of shortness of breath, My knees were aching, my body was aching and I'm only 38, so I shouldn't be having those problems. So now that I've incorporated workout and keep in mind, I didn't start working out until the last two weeks. I mean, I was by the luck, you know, I'm not going to work out, I'm not going to do nothing. But when I started working out.
