Nurse Lost 80 Pounds in 2 Years Reveals Her Secrets to Weight Loss

How do people lose lots of weight fast and keep it off? One weight loss warrior-slash-nurse is finally revealing the answer. Allie Janszen, RN, is a hormone health and fat loss coach who lost 80 pounds naturally and helps other people do the same. In a new social media post, she gets honest about her journey, revealing her secrets. "I've lost 80 lbs in 2 years and I'm not afraid to admit… it wasn't because I had more willpower than you," she says, detailing everything it took.
Her Whole Body and Hormones Were "A Mess"
She starts the post by explaining that her "metabolism was a hot mess," her "hormones were totally out of whack," and she was not doing well overall. "I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and barely holding it together most days," she writes.
She Decided to "Start Healing," But It Was Hard
She was struggling majorly. "I didn't wake up feeling motivated," she says. "I didn't always believe in myself. But I did decide to start healing."
She Changed Her Approach
"I stopped chasing quick fixes + crash diets," she said. "I got serious about nourishing my body instead of punishing it. I started lifting heavier than ever before and worked on getting stronger, not skinnier. I focused on healing my hormones, lowering inflammation, and supporting my metabolism — not destroying it."
She Changed Her Habits
She also started eating to balance her blood sugar. "I prioritized sleep, steps, protein, hydration, and nervous system support," she continued. "I left behind the 'all or nothing' mindset and started showing up with a 'do what you can' attitude."
She Also Eliminated Some Things
She also got rid of things. "I said no to things that weren't aligned with my healing. I stopped people pleasing and started self prioritizing," she continues.
She Kept Going and Was Consistent
"And honestly? It wasn't always easy. There were hard weeks. Hard choices. Days where i wanted to quit. But i kept going — not perfectly, just consistently.
It's About Healing From the Inside Out
"Because real transformation isn't about willpower. It's about healing from the inside out. And that's exactly what I did. & you can too," she concludes. And if you enjoyed this article, take advantage of these 15 Quick Ways to Lose Body Fat Percentage in a Week.
