Meet Teaira Laniece | Content Creator & Fitness Enthusiast

We had the good fortune of connecting with Teaira Laniece and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Teaira, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Consistency and discipline are the leading factors in my weight loss success. For years, I would start a weight loss journey just to get discouraged and quit when the weight was not coming off fast enough. It was only when I realized that if I stopped quitting, I won’t have to keep starting over. I started to see real results when I created and stuck to my workout/clean eating regimen.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a fitness content creator. I run the @teababyfit account on Instagram and TikTok. This account is based on my personal weight loss journey over the past year. I decided to start this account after sharing my story on my personal social media accounts and being flooded with direct messages from followers telling me how I have inspired them to get active and live a healthier life style. Sharing my journey on a public platform has never been easy. There are days that I feel like giving up but I know so many people are watching my journey unfold using it as motivation. What has helped me the most is being transparent about my obstacles. Everyday isn’t going to be a great workout or eating day, it is important for me to share my set backs. This is not only relatable for my audience but it also demonstrates how to overcome obstacles when motivation is lacking. The message behind my brand is to be your own aesthetic. Often times we become obsessed with images that we see on our social media feeds and start to feel like we need to look exactly like our favorite celebrity/influencer. When we fail to meet those standards, we give up and start to believe negative thoughts about ourselves. Be your own aesthetic sends a clear message that you do not need to live up to social media standards. You get to create your own personal beauty standards based on your own opinions and not those of the world.
