This Woman Lost 85 Pounds in 8 Months Without Starving Herself or Going on a Crazy Complicated Diet

Eight months ago Arielle Calderon was 85 pounds heavier. A yo-yo dieter all her life, her biggest mistakes were cutting out all the foods she loved, plus counting and restricting calories.

So in May 2015 Calderon started Weight Watchers. And eating breakfast. This made-at-home omelette is stuffed with chicken sausage, cheese, and mushrooms. Yum!

Pancakes for breakfast? Yes, please! These are made with multigrain flour, and topped with berries and store-bought whipped cream.

Calderon had always hated the gym. So she walked everywhere instead. When the walking became easier, she started running. She was SO proud when she ran six miles!

She also started cooking more meals at home instead of always ordering out. She taught herself to cook through YouTube videos! And she still eats carbs--like this delicious flatbread pizza.

Thanks to all of this, she dropped FIVE sizes. Now she's giving her old clothes away.

This is what she looks like 85 pounds lighter! Amazing, right? And she did it without driving herself crazy!

The best part: Instead of hating her body, she is "finally starting to feel comfortable in my skin." And she did it her way.
