痩せたい、スタイルをよくしたい!という女性のほどんどが気にするのが「体重」。でも、ほんとに大切なことって体重ではないみたい。

コスモポリタンアメリカ版によると、<My Sweat Life>のブロガーであるケルシー・ウェルズは、1年半に渡って『1Kayla ItsinesのBBG (ビキニ・ボディ・ガイド)プログラム』を実践し、その結果を公開。彼女の最終的な目標は体重を減らすことではなかったそう。

ケルシーは体重が65キロ、55キロ、63キロだったときの3枚の写真を<Instagram>にアップ。つい最近撮影された63キロの写真を見ると、彼女の体は55キロだったときよりも程よく筋肉質で引き締まっている。

その投稿の数々は、今までのダイエット感をがらりと覆してくれるものばかり!

SCREW THE SCALE || I figured it was time for a friendly, yet firm reminder.🤗 YOU GUYS. PLEASEEEEEE STOP GETTING HUNG UP ON THE NUMBER ON THE STUPUD SCALE! PLEASE STOP THINKING YOUR WEIGHT EQUALS YOUR PROGRESS AND FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING PLEASE STOP LETTING YOR WEIGHT HAVE ANY AFFECT WHATSOEVER ON YOUR SELF ESTEEM, like I used to. To any of you who are where I once was, please listen to me. I am 5' 7" and weigh 140 lbs. When I first started #bbg I was 8 weeks post partum and 145 lbs. I weighed 130 before getting pregnant, so based on nothing besides my own warped perception, I decided my "goal weight" should be 122 and to fit into my skinniest jeans. Well after a few months of BBG and breastfeeding, I HIT IT and I fit into those size 0 jeans. Well guess what? I HAVE GAINED 18 POUNDS SINCE THEN. EIGHT FREAKING TEEN. Also, I have gone up two pant sizes and as a matter of fact I ripped those skinny jeans wide open just the other week trying to pull them up over my knees.😂 My point?? According to my old self and flawed standards, I would be failing miserably. THANK GOODNESS I finally learned to start measuring my progress by things that matter -- strength, ability, endurance, health, and HAPPINESS. Take progress photos and videos. Record how many push-ups you can do, ect. And if you can, your BFP -- there is only a 5 lb difference between my starting and current weight, but my body composition has changed COMPLETELY. I have never had more muscle and less body fat than I do now. I have never been healthier than I am now. I have never been more comfortable in my own skin than I am now. And if I didn't say #screwthescale long ago, I would have gave up on my journey. So to the little teeny tiny voice in the back of my head that still said "😳wtf is this- not 140!?😭😩" last week when I stepped on the scale, I say SCREW. YOU. And I think you should probably say the same to your scale too. #byefelicia 👋🏼🚫⚖ . . #bbgprogress #transformationtuesday #fit #fitness #workout #fitmom #fitchick #fitfam #fitnesstransformation #beforeandafter #sweat #mysweatlife #girlswithmuscle #girlgains #strongnotskinny

「体重なんてムシ!体重計の数字になんて惑わされちゃダメ!一番左と右の写真での体重の違いはたったの2.2キロ。違いは身体組成よ。つまり、今が一番筋肉量が多く、体脂肪が低いの。だから、体重なんかに惑わされないで」

「体重によって人生の目標とか、恋愛とか、何かが変わるなんて思わないで! 体重が理由で自分に自信が持てないなんて、(私も以前はそうだったけど)そんな考え方はいますぐやめるべき!」

とケイシーはコメント。

「今から、NYを皮切りに『Sweat World Tour』のスタート!待ちきれない!」

彼女は、自身のダイエット体験をこのように惜しげも無くシェア。身長170センチで63キロの彼女は、出産8週間後にBBGプログラムを始める前と比べて、わずか2.2キロ減量。

「出産前の体重は58キロだったので、とんだ見当違いから体重55キロ、そして超スキニージーンズを履くことを目標に設定しちゃったわ」

HEYY YO WHASSUP!?! This little snug and I spent the whole morning at the pool and it was marvelous. Did I get to lay in the sun (or really even sit down😂)? Absolutely not. But did I get a whole lot of extra cardio in?? Absolutely!🙌🏼 You guys this kid can literally run faster than me.😰 It's all good though cause he also loves to dance and it's the best thing I've ever seen and I mean LOOK AT THAT FACE!!🤗 I'm obsessed. || Now he's recharging his batteries and I'm just willing myself to get off my sofa and be productive. When he wakes it's gym time- LISS + HIIT goin down! Many of you asked when I posted my workout sched the other day what I do for HIIT- I am working on putting together a blog post of my faves, but today I'll be doing a little "booty burner HIIT" routine I made up awhile ago. It's a mix of incline sprints and squat jumps to give that 🍑 a little something extra.😏 I already posted this one, so just click the link in my profile and search "HIIT" if you wanna join me!🤗LOVE YOUUUU! Let's #getoutandsweat !👊🏼😘 . . . . . . #mysweatlife #sweatwithkayla #bbgmoms #bbgmums #bbg #bbggirls #bbgsisters #bbgbabes #bbgfam #bbgcomminity #bbglife #fitchick #fitspiration #fitspo #fitmom #fitness #fit #workout #girlswithmuscles #happytuesday #summer #postbabybody #mombod

「午前中をプールで過ごしたわ。でも、のんびり日光浴でもしていたと思ったら大間違い。息子と追いかけっこして、しっかりカーディオエクササイズ(有酸素運動)をこなしたmp」

彼女は数カ月後に目標体重に達したものの、その後、8キロ体重が増え、洋服のサイズも5号から9号になってしまったんだとか。

「今では、体力、能力、持久力、健康、幸福度など、大切なことを必要な尺度で測れできるようになって本当に良かった。今が1番筋肉量が多く、体脂肪は低く、もっとも健康なのよ。今までの人生で今が1番自分に自信にあふれてる。減量だけを目的にしなかったお陰よ」

WHASSUP EVERYBODY!?! Listen to me. If you ever want to liven things up in epic proportions I would HIGHLY suggest busting out some @backstreetboys radio because I have heard not only the BSB, but my first love NSYNC, as well as some BBMAC alll in the last hour and I don't know about you but it is LITERALLY impossible for me not to be jazzed about life rn whilst jamming to the classic boy bands. I am thinking I may have to carry this into my cardio this afternoon.🙌🏼💃🏻✌🏼️ALSO I am feeling completely brilliant because what is it about these songs that even after years of not hearing them you can still remember EVERY SINGLE WORD!? Amazing. It's the little things on a Thursday guys. Like jamming to your old favorite songs and refusing to put on pants and creating a delicious green smoothie and listening to your two year old try to say "alligator" and BCAA pills and the fact that I am going to #getoutandsweat today AND the fact that TOMORROW IS FRIYAY!?!👊🏼😆👏🏼 LAST BUT NOT LEAST AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHOS LIFE WOULD LITERALLY BE COMPLETE IF NSYNC COULD JUST GET THIER SHIZ TOGETHER AND DO A FREAKING REUNION TOUR!?😩🙏🏼 Ok I'm done. If you're still reading this ILYSM.😂🤗😊 . . . . . . #healthy #happy #fitfam #fitness #fitchick #fitmom #fitlife #sweat #fitspo #workout #sweatwithkayla #bbg #bbgbabes #bbgmums #bbgmoms #bbgfam #bbgcommunity #choosehappy #lifeisgood #happythursday

「理想のボディをゲットするには、バックストリート・ボーイズやイン・シンクの曲をかけてテンションを上げるのがコツ」

「先週、体重計に乗ったときに、私の頭の中のどこかで、何かが『体重が63キロもあるじゃない!?』って呟いたから、『あんたなんか、気にしない!』って言ってやったわ。あなたも、体重計に向かって同じセリフを吐いてね」

そう、自分の心地よい体は、体重計じゃわからないってこと!
