Describe Yourself:My Story: (How I've lost over 85lbs)
"Mommy, you should go on The Biggest Loser."
The words hit me like a slap. My 10 year old son, Anthony, is incredibly honest and tells it like it is. He was right, at 5’5” I weighed over 252lbs and was gaining daily. When he said that, and “The Biggest Loser” became his favorite show, I realized it was time to do something. Even a 10 year old could see I was fat and unhealthy!
So, I went to the doctor. Surely I had a hormonal imbalance, slow thyroid or something. If not, maybe there was a new pill that would take the weight off without too much work. She had pills all right, high blood pressure pills and Lipitor. I felt lost, alone, hopeless, embarrassed but most of all, doomed to failure and sick.
Then I came across this program. It sounded too good to be true. Simple,convient, meals 6 times a day? AND I wouldn’t be ALLOWED to exercise for at least the first 3 weeks? . It seemed expensive but I decided to try it.
I got my food and started the plan 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. That first week, I got on the scale daily and watched it drop at least a pound a day! I was hooked! The money was no longer an issue, in fact, I was saving money! I had no idea how much I had been spending in $2-$10 intervals on food.
It’s been an amazing journey and I am more convinced than ever that this program is the right thing for people like me. I hate to exercise, I’m too busy too cook, I work at least 40-50 hours each week. It feels amazing to have replaced the foods that made me sick and fat with new ones that make me feel amazing and healthy!
I’m still on my journey to optimal health and my ideal weight.The difference this time is that I know I will make it. The sick person I was is gone for good. Now, I'm a health coach! As a health coach, I get the added benefit of helping others find the same success
NO BIGGEST LOSER FOR ME!
