Ali Shinn struggled with depression growing up and found comfort in food. After seeing a photo of herself in a bikini at 260 pounds, she decided to get healthier.

There were a few points when I tried desperately to lose weight. In college I partied too much and fell into the routine of eat, sleep, drink. I was putting on weight and trying to keep it off at the same time, spending hours at the gym to just try and stay where I was. I would try again and again until eventually I hit 260 pounds. At that point, I had stopped caring and just pretended I wasn’t that big. I’d tell everyone I was 180 pounds, throw on my bikini, and put a smile on my face.
Eventually I made the decision to just eat what I want, only less of it, and aimed to make healthy choices 70 percent of the time. It worked. Soon enough, I was nearing 200 pounds. At that point I wanted to be strong. I wanted to be able to do pushups and kick ass. I tried so hard to get into the gym life, but it just wasn’t for me. Then a friend introduced me to at-home workouts through Beachbody, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Every day I feel a little closer to the person I truly am. Now I am about to make another huge change and move my pups and my significant other into an RV and go on the greatest adventure of our lives. I wouldn’t be able to do this without a healthy body.
