Chelsea Blackwell has had a wild couple of months. Since season 6 of Love Is Blind debuted in February, the star received backlash for her on-screen relationship with Jimmy Presnell and even for comparing herself to Megan Fox during the show.
But post-Love Is Blind, Chelsea seems to be thriving. In an April 4 Instagram Story, the 31-year-old posted shared before-and-after photos of a recent weight loss.
In the pics, Chelsea poses in front of a mirror, wearing a sports bra and pair of leggings. In the second shot, she’s flexing her bicep for the camera. “Before [and] after, absolutely insane the difference in how I look and feel,” she wrote.
Here’s everything Chelsea has shared about her health journey.
She began losing weight for her energy and mental health.
Chelsea first opened up about her weight loss in an April 3 TikTok, telling her followers that she's experienced some "amazing progress" by making a few small changes. "I’m not a nutritionist by any means," she said. "I’ve never been a small girl my entire life and I’m okay with that. I love her and she’s healthy and she’s strong."
Chelsea said she decided to mix things up because she didn’t feel healthy. "I wasn’t feeling strong," she said. "It was affecting my mental health and it was affecting my energy level, so I just decided to change things."
She started intermittent fasting.
Chelsea shared that she started doing intermittent fasting, adding that she doesn't typically begin eating until noon. She also began following a high-protein diet with “as many fruits and vegetables as possible." Chelsea said that she drinks 90 ounces of water a day, too.
"I know this is not a secret [but] when I eat better, I feel better," she said. "I feel more focused. I feel clearer. I can think better."
"I don't cut anything out," she continued. "I'm not hard on myself by any means. But I feel better."
She walks every day.
Chelsea said she’s not really into the gym, but she's found other ways to get fit. "I just like to get a little lift in to feel good, but the main key component...that really resulted in my weight loss is walking," she said. "I will walk 45 minutes a day, either in the afternoon, during the sunset, or in the morning, so I can get it out of the way."
Chelsea said her walks are about more than fitness, adding that she'll listen to a podcast or meditate during them. "That’s just my 'me time' and it just makes me happy," she shared.
"If you're fueling your body and you're exercising, you're only gonna be presenting your best self possible, and that's why I decided to change my routine," she added.
Congrats, Chelsea!
