Let’s celebrate this sista’s weight loss. Proud mom Jaye lost 55 pounds, going from 215 to 160 pounds. Here is what she shared with us about how she lost the weight:
“My weightloss journey started when I saw a picture of myself from Halloween. In my minds eye, I wasnt overweight. I was so busy being a mom that I wasn’t paying attention to myself and all the weight that I was gaining. When I saw that picture for the first time and it was like someone switched on a light. I knew I had to do something to stay healthy or I would keep getting bigger and bigger. So, I started eating smaller portions. I still eat whatever I want, but not as much in one sitting as I normally would. I also make sure to exercise at least 3 times a week. I purchased some freeweights and started looking up exercises from the internet that target the areas I wanted to tone and slim. I started playing “Just Dance” and other dance games with my kids. These games are very good for a cardio workout. I started my journey on January 1st, 2013 and now I’m down 55 lbs. I was 215 pounds when I started and now I’m at 160 pounds. They key to my success is that I saw my oldest daughter picking up bad eating habits. I want to be an example for her in a positive way. U just have to be committed and motivated to lose the weight! It works.”
