I participated in the Xeela Summer Shred Challenge. I started the challenge on March 23, 2023 and ended the challenge on June 23, 2023. When I saw Xeela Fitness transformation videos I was extremely inspired and started following the Xeela fitness page on Instagram. When I saw the Xeela Summer Shred Challenge I knew this was my time to prove to myself I could have that fitness and health journey I wasn't able to achieve in the past. When I first started the Xeela Shred Challenge I weighed 247 lbs, at the end of the Shred Challenge I weighed 211 lbs. The Xeela Shred workout guide helped me actually stick to a plan. In the past when I had gone to the gym I had no idea where to start and how to not feel awkward or out of place, having the Xeela guide made me feel confident I was there for a reason and had a pre planned workout. While constantly going to the gym I was eating properly and following the Xeela meal plans and meal preps. When starting this challenge I thought I would struggle terribly with the meal plans but Xeela made the meal plans enjoyable. Overeating has always been a struggle for me. I was constantly hungry and never satisfied with the meals I was eating. Two weeks after sticking to the meal plans in the guide I started feeling more energised and motivated, I wasn't always hungry anymore in fact I was satisfied with every meal. The first month of the challenge I was drained mentally and physically. I honestly wanted to stop and give up but I didn't and I'm so incredibly happy I didn't. After that first month I started feeling a change in my mind and body. I felt stronger both mentally and physically. I was no longer anxious about going to the gym because I knew what I would be doing that day and I had a routine. I now feel confident in my own skin and am no longer constantly doubting myself. For that I have Xeela to thank!
