Transformation Story Series: Celebrating One Woman's 50+ Pound Weight Loss Journey

If you’ve ever had more than 50 pounds to lose, this one’s for you. If you’re a young, busy mom and wife, this one’s for you. If you woke up, looked in the mirror one day and didn’t recognize yourself, this one’s for you. 

Meet Quincy Burgess. A bubbly, joyful, beautiful mom on a journey to those lost extra 50+ pounds. She knew she needed to for years, but didn’t truly fully commit to doing it until hitting bottom mentally and physically. And then, in one year, she went from size 20 to 14 following the FASTer Way to Fat Loss.

To understand Quincy’s story, you have to go back a few years. She wasn’t always overweight. On her Instagram account, she shares photos of her younger self, pre-babies, and she’s the epitome of health and happiness. But, you know…life. Quincy woke up one day and didn’t recognize herself in the mirror. She was also shattered by grief, losing both grandmothers, her grandfather and her father in a span of four months. Quincy had put on 60 pounds over time without realizing it. It happened so slowly, in the middle of so much other stuff going on in her life, that it just became who she was….. until that one day she noticed. 

Quincy was already a FASTer Way to Fat Loss client, and convinced herself she was doing the program. But a closer look, an honest look, at what she was really doing and Quincy admitted to herself she wasn’t consistent, she wasn’t following the workouts or the nutrition, or holding herself accountable. She had set the same New Year’s goal three years in a row: to lose weight. “It’s a real crap place to be not just physically but mentally,” says Quincy. 

In her words, Quincy puts her fat loss journey like this: 

Year 1: postpartum weight loss goal 

Year 2: chronic stress and hormone issues cause a 60 pound weight gain

Year 3: heal and rebuild from the heaviest and weakest I’ve ever been

That’s when Quincy recommitted to the FASTer Way. No gimmicks. No shakes. No pills. As tempting as it was to take a quicker route with fad diets, supplements or shots, Quincy knew better and knew how she wanted to lose the weight. She’s not focused on the scale, but instead, how she feels. And Quincy feels stronger saying, “I’m the strongest I’ve ever been in my life, and the amount of inches I’ve lost is insane.” 

Quincy is still working on her health and fitness, halfway to her goal, not focused on the scale but instead focused on strength and happiness. She also did not make a 2024 New Year’s resolution to lose weight; the first time she hasn’t been focused on that in three years. What’s more, Quincy turned her story into a flourishing health coaching business with FASTer Way and has not only reclaimed her joy, her health, and her life - she’s also taking back her power to thrive.
