☀️Realistic + encouraging health journey 🍴High protein calorie deficit (-25lbs!) 💙Raising 4 boys in Boise + laughing daily
I’m getting so close to being in the teens! I can’t believe it!!! I’ve shown up for myself every single day. Not perfectly, but consistently. Just steady effort. Over and over. Those first 2 weeks felt brutal. Like hiking straight uphill in full sun. Now it feels natural. Like walking a beautiful flat trail in crisp fall air! DISCIPLINE GETS EASIER! Your body learns. Your identity shifts. I’m not just losing weight. I’m gaining trust in myself again. 🩵 If you’re new here, hi! I’m Natalie! I’m 39, 5’9”, a mom of 4 boys, and have spent the last 10 years pregnant or breastfeeding. It’s been the most beautiful, wild ride for my body. Now that our 2 year old weaned this spring, my body is just *mine* again. I started workout classes over the summer. I built strength and skill, but lost 0 pounds. Ha! I was this 🤏🏼 close to trying a GLP-1 (no judgment!), but after seeing the cost + potential side effects, I decided to go all in on doing it naturally first. its working! 11 weeks ago, I started a high-protein calorie deficit working with my Nutrition Coach @nutritionwithlo on Instagram. It has been BEYOND helpful having her guidance. I’m weighing everything I eat, tracking every gram, and my body fat is melting away! (Use code TASTESLOVELY to save $15 on her Blueprint and $200 on her Reset Roadmap! Highly recommend the Blueprint and a 1:1 call!) Here’s what’s working for me: 1️⃣ High-protein calorie deficit — 1900 calories/day, at least 185g protein. (I have What I Eat In A Day reels on my page!) 2️⃣ Eat protein within 30 mins of waking, then meals every 2–3 hours. 3️⃣ Zero alcohol, refined sugar, seed oils, or processed foods. Focusing a ton on single ingredient foods. 4️⃣ Lift heavy 4x a week 5️⃣ At least 10k steps a day 6️⃣ 7+ hours of sleep. 7️⃣ Staying hydrated (80oz+ of water + electrolytes daily). 8️⃣ No cheat days (for now!) Feeling stronger, leaner, and proud of my consistency! Current me is so grateful that past me keeps showing up. 💪🏼 #weightloss #motivation #postpartum #beforeandafter #naturalweightloss
I broke the 20 pound milestone! And then some!!!! 🥳🥳 At times it can feel sooooo slow. Just pound or 2 a week. But little by little, a little becomes a lot! If you’re new here, hi! I’m Natalie!

This is one of the greatest feelings ever!!! I *lost* weight over Halloween weekend?!?!🎃👀 Halloween used to mark the beginning of my “I’ll fix it after Christmas” era, starting two full months of overindulging and feeling awful by January. Now, I’m locked in and actually finding *joy* in choosing things that make me feel better, stronger, and closer to my goals! If you’re new here, hi! I’m Natalie!

This one is for my girls who like things CRISPY and low calorie! These oven baked hash browns are my current obsession. I’ve had them breakfast every day for the past few weeks, making small adjustments until they are now perfect! Blows my mind that I can enjoy potatoes and still lose weight! Tracking macros, keeping it high protein in a calorie deficit is where it’s at. What a world! INGREDIENTS organic russet potatoes egg whites kosher salt avocado oil MACROS per 1 hash brown (recipe makes 10) 155 calories 7g protein 31g carbs 1g fat Link to the full recipe (including the pan!) in my bio💋 https://www.tasteslovely.com/crispy-oven-baked-hash-browns/ #hashbrowns #homemade #ovenbaked #lowcalorie #caloriedeficit
I know the term “food noise” has been thrown around a lot more since ozempic and other glp1s have become mainstream.. but I’m honestly thankful for that. I didn’t realize how often I think about food.. and by that I don’t just mean eating it, or needing to eat/binge/crave… it’s thinking of not eating, or not “overeating” because I’ve always struggled with weight.. it’s thinking “I shouldn’t have eaten that” as soon as I finish something that might put me over my daily calorie deficit (I’ve been struggling to lose 10 extra lbs for 2 years) .. or a food I know won’t make me feel good .. constantly thinking “tomorrow I just won’t eat much” to balance it out.. because of the sheer frustration of “doing it right” and getting nowhere.. or losing a lb after 2 months only to gain it back after 1 weekend celebrating my birthday.. I realized food noise is so much more than just craving bad food.. it’s ALWAYS thinking about food and when you should eat, when you shouldn’t, what you should eat, what you shouldn’t.. and it’s exhausting and can be extremely frustrating. I think the last 2 years have only gotten worse and I truly believe it’s perimenopause. Most might look at me and say “but you’re not fat” .. I’m not “skinny” or “in shape” or feeling my best these days either.. it’s a battle.. and I understand why people get tired and look for a way to help. For years I just thought it was because I was overweight, but even when I was at my lowest body weight percentage and working out.. I still heard it. Let me know if you can relate. #foodnoise #skinnyfat #perimenopause #over40 #weightloss
