Erica Calderon<\/strong>, 34, 5'8", from Phoenix, Arizona Total pounds lost<\/strong>: 85 Fitness and nutrition had always been a big part of my life—so much so that I became a PE teacher after I graduated from college. Between chasing after the middle schoolers in my class and running three times a week, I was so active that I didn't have to worry about my weight. But around the time I got pregnant with my first child, my husband began working longer hours, and I soon found myself eating out with friends more and more. It didn't help that during my pregnancy, I stopped exercising. Before I knew it, the number on the scale read 230 pounds.<\/p>\n RELATED<\/strong>: The 50 Best Weight Loss Foods of All Time<\/p>\n With my husband by my side—he wanted to drop weight, too—I followed the Beachbody Insanity program<\/a> six times a week. I loved that I could turn on the half-hour videos whenever it was convenient and work out right in my living room. I kept it up for two years, eventually shedding 85 pounds. And then I got pregnant again and regained 50 of them.<\/p>\n After the birth of my second daughter, I was determined to get my pre-pregnancy body back. For me, that meant not only resuming my crazy-tough workouts but also overhauling my eating habits—something I had neglected to do the first time around. I turned to Autumn Calabrese's 21 Day Fix program<\/a>, which provides premeasured containers for each food group. This helped me see exactly what I was consuming, as well as reduce my portion sizes. I also cut down on sugar; within a few weeks, my sweetness cravings started to subside. Eliminating junk food from my diet helped me feel as healthy as I looked. It's also great to weigh even less than I did in high school!<\/p>\n
