My Weight Loss Journey| Two Year Update, Before & After Pics, How I'm Maintaining

[@leahlatrice7227]

I always come back to this video when I need a little motivation to keep going with my weight loss journey…2yrs later your message still hits!❤

[@HappyStylishMommy]

This makes me so happy, I look forward to making more inspiring videos in 2023

[@dd_7787]

You look great and you’re part of the reason I decided to go full speed ahead with my journey. I have a similar story and was my heaviest (192lbs) just 3 months ago when I decided I couldn’t gain another pound. I felt bad and was sad all the time. I started counting calories and not depriving myself of food but cutting out things that I thought wouldn’t help me reach my goal and I’m now 170lbs. I still have a ways to go but it’s a step in the right direction, for sure. Thanks for sharing your story. You never know just how many people could use that extra push! ❤️

[@celestealexander5388]

Girl, I NEVER comment, have loved your content for awhile, but now I REALLY will show love and support for you. First off, 3 1/2 years of breastfeeding is a HUGE accomplishment👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 My son is 2, breastfed for 16 months and those were by far the most exhausting, selfless but rewarding months of my life. I also appreciate your honestly about how breastfeeding does not make you lose weight, I was the same, never been so hungry & tired in my life, but you hear so many people say it helps them lose weight. You’re a strong, beautiful, smart, classy, woman & mother❤️ thanks for sharing your journey, you look perfect!

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@StilettoShay]

I'm 5'8" at 160 right now after 2 kids (3 and 1 year old right now). From the outside looking in, one would probably say I look good, but I am in desperate need of toning up. Chicken arms and cottage cheese thighs are trying to push through, so thank you so much for sharing your journey with us in such detail--I am writing in my planner right now to walk daily, to train with Heather Robertson minimum twice a week, etc. . . . thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!

[@HappyStylishMommy]

You’re welcome!

[@iamdionnemotley]

Thank you Shanna for sharing your journey! You are one of the influencers I follow on YT for inspiration and motivation. This video just gave me the boost I needed to keep going. Many blessing to you!

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Thank you so much!!

[@DivineOriginal84]

Thanks for sharing Shanna you look awesome! Not that you didn't before but I can see how your weight loss has changed your life.

[@BrittanyKimbrell]

I’m so very proud of you, I’ve been following you since my son was 4 months(he’s 1 now) this so good for new Mom’s like me who are trying to figure out the whole transition from nursing to “getting your body back”. Thank you so much for this🤎🤎🤎

[@Getitgirl816]

I nursed my son for 27 months, lost 20 and gained it all back plus a few extra pounds. Weaned him this past April and worked out the entire time while nursing but my weight didn't start to fall off until I weaned him. I love Heather Robinson too, thanks to you. Her workouts are so smooth that the work doesn't seem hard but I be dripping sweat. 😓

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Yeah that whole breasting makes lose weight is some Bull$%7t lol! First few months I was like ok "snap back" then it all went down hill from there. So glad I'm able to look back on at time and keep myself motivated.

[@Getitgirl816]

[@msfashioncoco6457]

HI SHANNA, THANK YOU FOR SHARING. THIS WAS GREAT ADVICE ON WEIGHT LOSS. YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Thank you

[@csmtcqueen]

Another thing that I appreciate -- you are not trying to be thinnest ever. You have a healthy body image, emphasis being how your body feels. And doing it in a responsible manner. I was so glad to hear that.

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Thank you I appreciate that!

[@rachelbryant1530]

Great video! I love Heather Robertson workouts. They are challenging and I love the fact that she mixes it up, and doesn’t talk. Thanks for the tips.

[@JillFoxoxo]

My baby just turned 3 and I’m still trying to lose the weight, I too exclusively breastfed so my weight stuck on me until I weened. I’m now 40-50 pounds down and would like to lose another 10. I feel amazing! You look great shanna! You inspire me to keep myself together and look my best always💕

[@HappyStylishMommy]

That’s amazing! Keep up the good work!!

[@lashandanelson6890]

You look amazing . You are the reason that I am doing Heather Robertson workouts and I love them!

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Love that!

[@closcorner5237]

I’m 5’2 and 160 so I 100% understand how you feel when you say you don’t feel good . I was 150 when quarantine started so I’m definitely ready to get back down to 140-145. This video has motivated me👍🏽

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Yes, you can do it!

[@michelles2733]

Good morning! Thank you so much for sharing this journey! I began looking at your channel during the beginning of quarantine and you have been such an inspiration! I just turned 50 years old last month and I wasn’t overweight or I didn’t eat bad at all, but I wasn’t working out. You inspired me to get off my butt and now I workout 5 days a week! Thank you! 😊❤️

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Wow! That’s awesome!!

[@yolandaleak-carter6215]

I am so glad you posted this. I recently started back working out July 11th to be exact and I’m proud to say I’m down 20 lbs. I had been wanting to ask about your weight loss journey because I know you are always doing a workout routine.

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Wow 20lbs that’s awesome!! Keep up the good work girl!!

[@yolandaleak-carter6215]

HappyStylishMommy thank you! I most definitely will!

[@kimmy225]

Trainers are amazing. I started going to one last year and loss 50 pounds. I still go for maintenance. It’s a great investment for sure.

[@Ms_Jksn]

I’m an emotional eater my self and have gained 9 lbs since August (180lbs). Prior to that I had been working out and eating healthy. I lost one of of older brothers and have just been eating. I just made it a point the other day to get back eating healthy and since the gyms are all closed here in Cali I’ve been walking for 30 minutes after work. I’m determined to get this weight off of me lol you look amazing!!

[@Iamnischellehartzol]

You look so amazing! You're the reason I do Heather Robertson. Thank you so much for all that you do and share.

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Wow, thank you!

[@Iamnischellehartzol]

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Thank you so much!

[@kimeshathomas4276]

You make me want to get my entire life together after I watch your videos. 😂 Thank you!

[@mindysavage6038]

I have to tell you I have gone back and started watching some of your other videos. You sound just like me. I weigh myself every morning. It helps to set your mind for the day. I do need to start exercising I have not done that but I have lost 23 lbs and it has taken me about a year and half to do that and I am ok with that. No method to my madness just watch what I eat, enjoy some foods I love now and then and keep going. Love your down to earth attitude it is refreshing!

[@ltnewsome]

Good for you lady. You set a goal, attained it, and maintained it. I love Heather too. Thanks for the introduction to her.

[@StaceyFlood]

You look great! Congrats to you!!

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Thanks Stacey

[@simplysunni9796]

Thank you for this Shanna! This has come right on time for me. MOTIVATION! I was supposed to be at 130 by now. Instead, I gained 5 pounds & now I need to lose 20 pounds. I have actually started this week with an exercise & healthy eating regimen (which is my new normal lifestyle), so you have pushed me to keep going. You look awesome! Such an inspiration. 💜

[@HappyStylishMommy]

That’s awesome! Trust me I know that feeling all too well! You got this tho!

[@tanishiahicks]

I’m so glad you did this everything you said was literally as if you were speaking to me!!!! Starting small and working your way up is so true!!! When you said that your style was black chic and you wore anything bigger that is so me, and I am such an emotional eater I just distract myself from doing it now slow and steady definitely wins the race I’m finding that out now amazing vlog!!!

[@redbonescorpio79]

Super proud of you. I’m 5’3 and weight just doesn’t sit on our frame well. I’ve found that monitoring my body fat is major key.

[@AW-uk5jv]

Yes Shanna! This is so relatable and informative for us women. This journey was for you & its paying off you look good! ❤️❤️

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Thank you so much!

[@jennifergray157]

I'm SO glad I found your channel. Your weightloss journey and what I eat videos inspired me to subscribe. Because of you, I've also started working with a trainer and lost 10 lbs.....then COVID happened. I havent gained any weight but have not lost any either. This video is exactly what I needed to get going again. Thanks! And you look absolutely amazing!

[@angelhicks9106]

Super duper proud!!! What an accomplishment. I said this all the time, you have motivated me to start exercising in March consistently. I feel so much better! I love heather workouts too. I definitely need to work a little bit more on snacking lol. Thank you girl!

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Thank you so much!!

[@SheISBeautiful1970]

Great video! I got a treadmill at home and I love it - major game changer in getting one hour of cardio 6 days a week. I weigh myself every morning to keep on track too. It helps with what I’m doing on this journey. 🙏🏽

[@sharlenelockett2224]

You look great Shanna and have kept me on track. Not a sweet person but a potato person and I have to watch myself. Thank you for this update.

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Ugh, yes potatoes I should’ve mentioned my love for French fries!😩

[@Diamondbeauty87]

You look amazing and you are very motivating. I agree with you regarding the scale it helps hold me accountable for the day. People think I’m crazy for weighing in everyday but it helps mentally.

[@aneesahm4301]

I’m so happy for you! Thanks for sharing. You’re inspiring! 🥰

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Thank you so much!

[@latoyajones8463]

You look AMAZING! I never would have guessed you were once 180 lbs! I also am short 5’1 and I was once 154 lbs! I began to get depressed about my appearance As that was the largest I had ever been in life. I have an athletic build but I am such a foodie and I just let myself go. I then hired a trainer for about 6 months (last august - feb) and got down to 130 pounds. I looked and felt the best I ever had in over 10 years! I am currently 140 pounds and not as active as I was with my trainer and I need to loose these 10 pounds!!! But yes hunni its nothing like looking and feeling good! I literally told myself that I had never felt soooo good IN MY LIFE! It was almost euphoric! But I had to stop training because it was super expensive. Im so happy for you and your health journey. You inspire me to want to get back on track and really stick with my fitness journey. Thanks for sharing.

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Thank you so much! You got this, 10lbs is nothing compared to where you were, so continue to celebrate your weight loss accomplishments.

[@chicsocialitee]

Wow!! I thought I would go crazy after exclusively pumping for 2 years but nursing for nearly 4 would’ve definitely taken me out! So proud of you and your journey!

[@HappyStylishMommy]

Yeah it was crazy! He wasn’t exclusively nursing at age 2-3 he only would nurse at night/bedtime but it was still so draining

[@chicsocialitee]

HappyStylishMommy I so get it... Those days were so hard for me but I wanted to ensure I was doing what was best for my little one. I was such a hot mess back then. 😫

[@HappyStylishMommy]

You and me both girl!!

[@TheRadicalBlackConservative]

I am 5'2 too. And I agree, 135-140 is a sweet spot look wise. Although I am more top heavy so I could go smaller easily without looking to much like a kid (which is easy to do when you are so short).

[@kutriceflanders7015]

The video you made on 10/6/19. I watch when I nedd motivation and to get back on track. I watched that video 2 days ago. When I saw this video it made me so happy an update to keep me going. Thank you for your time.

[@wandaleach1558]

Good Morning Shanna, this was so enlightening. When u showed your weight on the screen, I felted that. I recently had a dr’s visit and was so disappointed my weight is the heaviest I’ve ever been, like u I’m only 5 1. It literally feels like I’m carrying around another person on my back. No energy, sluggish, and tired all the time. I get all that you were saying. Sugar is my downfall. I have begun to change my unhealthy eating habits and exercising on my treadmill also. I know I have to transform my mindset and it’s hard , but so worth it. So thank you for continuing to inspire us all, we have to start somewhere, even if seems like baby steps, at least your making some steps. Have a Bless day!!!🙏🏾❤️🥰👍🏾😘💪🏿👣

[@HappyStylishMommy]

You’re welcome! You’re off to a great start don’t be too hard on yourself, just take it one day at a time!

[@comfychic6029]

Girrrrl, you have done sooo good. I started following you after the weight loss so I didn’t know you struggled with your weight. That takes pure determination. I told you that we are kindred spirits. I began my journey at 34 (43 currently) due to comments from people and pics of myself. I started at 142lbs and very flabby. My lowest was 132 in 2017 with lots of cardio and weight training. I am currently 140 at 5’4 but very toned. I loved the 132 but these 43 year old knees wouldn’t let me be great. It’s been a lifestyle and I am loving my new curvy but toned body. Got a lil mo booty too out of the extra weight🤣. Great job ma!!! You look great!!!

[@TashimaC]

Thank you for sharing your journey. Talk about motivation. Did you have moments when you started and stopped or were you always consistent?

[@HappyStylishMommy]

I've stayed consistent the entire time, too scared to stop!
