Congrats to Online Community Member Sandra! Her before and after photos are the top post on our community site: http://blackwomenlosingweight.com/photo/before-n-after.  She she has gone from 249.5 to 162 and looks great!

She says, “I began my journey about 9 months ago. I would eat so badly I was ashamed of myself. Once I realized I was tipping the scales at 249.5 pounds, I realized fast food was literally killing me. I would eat fast food for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. I would come home and eat dinner again so that my husband wouldn’t get suspicious. I was an embarrassment to myself and my daughters and I was not setting a good example for them. I also was drinking a huge amount of wine. I decided to cut out all “bad” things from my diet- processed foods, alcohol, refined foods, sodas, etc from my diet and oh what a change! I drink 80oz of water each day and I space out my meals for which I make better choices. I went from 249.5 to 162 pounds today! I had a lot of support and I suggest the same for anyone who wants to loose weight, too!”
