Jess Dukes lost the first 50 pounds in nine months and then went through two pregnancies, so it took her four years to lose the total 75 pounds. Her diet played a huge role, and she followed the Portion Fix Meal Plan from Beachbody (the one with the color-coded containers). It's all about clean eating in the right portions for your body based on where you are now and what your goals are.
"I eat roughly 1,200 to 1,500 calories a day, but I do not track calories and macros. That is one of the perks of my meal plan," Jess told POPSUGAR.
Jess started her journey in the gym and quickly switched over to Beachbody workouts at home. "I loved that I didn't have to leave my house in order to get in a great workout, and it was like working out with a trainer every day without having to pay for one!" Jess said. She's been doing at-home programs for five years and has completed many programs that combine cardio and weightlifting. She typically works out six days a week, and each workout is around 30 minutes long.
