Let’s show some Black Women Losing Weight love to Sharday. She lost 100 pounds and has kept it off for 4 years. She did it with regular exercise, embracing juicing and eating fresh fruits for breakfast and lunch. Here is what she shared with us:
I would love to share my weight loss story with all of you. I was 286 pounds and came down to 186 pounds. Thanks be to GOD, I have kept it off for going on 4 years this year. I exercised and ate right. In the end, I went from a size 22-24 to a size 12-14…And I did it in 6 months!
I was my own motivation. I knew I had to do it for myself. I changed my eating habits by eating fruit for breakfast and lunch. For dinner, I ate whatever I wanted to eat between 5 pm and 6 pm. I ate absolutely nothing after 6 pm. Some days, I didn’t eat anything solid until 5 pm and only filled my body with water and fresh fruit juice. I walked everywhere I went because I was in school at the time. Then, I would go walking 2 miles a day for exercise and jogging 1/2 mile. I would turn around and walk back to my room at night. I would play basketball or tennis just to stay active and to keep my mind off of food.
