She's been on quite the journey over the past year.
Being teased for her weight was painful, but Julie Ana is using it to motivate her weight-loss journey and to become happy in her own skin. This transformation you're about to see is both physical and mental!
But she let food take precedence over health. She hasn't cut pizza out (you'll see!), but she's found a way to balance.
WOW, right?! But you haven't even seen the least of it yet!
(Seriously, how impressive is this!?)
Same, girl. Same. Julie Ana's positivity and sense of humor make her one of the most fun people to follow on Instagram.
The Bikini Body Guide and Sweat With Kayla app have been instrumental in her transofrmation.
Atta girl!
We're loving this smoothie bowl!
(Can we get those supercute gloves?!)
She's killing it!
GET those burpees, girl!
We're in awe of her dedication.
Seriously, on fire.
She explains in her caption here that she struggled with diet pills and body-image issues since she was a little girl.
Talk about motivation, right? Keep it up, Julie Ana! We are all rooting for you!
