Janielle Wright is known on social media for posting style and beauty looks. But these days, the 28-year-old influencer is posting more makeup-free gym selfies than cat eyes. On Sunday, she showed off the progress she's made on her weight loss journey—she's dropped 65 pounds since January 1.<\/p>\n RELATED: The Healthiest Way to Do Intermittent Fasting, According to a Nutritionist<\/strong><\/p>\n “DONE NATURALLY,” she wrote, celebrating her transformation<\/a>. “Get up and make a change…make it happen!”<\/p>\n Wright tells Health<\/em> how her journey got started. She made a New Year's resolution to lose 100 pounds by the end of the year, motivated to get healthier by her 3-year-old daughter, Novah.<\/p>\n “I was 337 pounds and feared that I wouldn’t live long enough for me to see her tie her shoes,” she says. “I wanted to be better for her and I wanted to live for her.”<\/p>\n In a YouTube video where she details her weight-loss story for fans, she also reflected on her “before.”<\/p>\n “That’s the highest weight I’ve ever been,” she said. “I didn’t want to die.”<\/p>\n To reach her goal, Wright went on a low-carb diet consisting of veggies and lean protein, and she currently eats plenty of foods containing healthy fats, like salmon and tuna.<\/p>\n But the secret to her success so far is intermittent fasting, a diet strategy that has people cycling between periods of regular eating and then fasting or severely restricting their caloric intake. While fasting for long periods is never a good idea for weight loss, some research<\/a> shows that intermittent fasting can help people reach their target weight and reduce disease risk.<\/p>\n Wright started with a 16-hour fasting period and 8-hour eating window, but she also does the 20\/4 method, which involves a shorter, 4-hour eating period.<\/p>\n
