I love it when family members lose the weight together. Twin sisters Sheri and Terri decided that enough was enough and changed their eating habits to lose weight. Sheri lost 56 pounds. Terri lost 28 pounds. Here is what they shared with us:
Hello, our names are Sheri and Terri and we are twin sisters. We had been sruggling with our weight for years. We were severely depressed and hopeless. One day, we decided to relase what had us bound (depression) and said enough is enough. I (Terri) went from 8 meds a day to just 2. My sister Sheri, who was once known as the bigger twin, is now the smaller twin…only by 10 pounds LoL. Our goal is to hit our 100 pounds lost mark by October 2013. Sheri went from 275 pounds to 219 pounds and Terri went from 257 pounds to 229 pounds. We didn’t do any diets or surgeries. We just ate healthy foods only; green and orange veggies, good for you fruit, plenty of water only, as well as no junk food or fast food. God is Good.
Hi all! I am Aiesha and currently a college student who was tired of being tired, so I decided to take on the challenge and better my health! My transformation is never ending and I’m still a work in progress. However, I am very happy with the results that I come to know thus far. My my motivation to take on a healthier lifestyle was my mother. She too lost weight and reversed her type two diabetes. I figured that if she can do it, still tackle a heavy work load and never give into excuses, well I can too! Another motivator for me was the fact that I did not like what I saw so I decided to stop complaining and really make the change. My starting weight was 211 pounds and my current weight is 188 pounds. My goal weight is 170 pounds, so I still have some work to do! Nonetheless, I am very pleased with myself because I committed to something and stuck with it no matter hard it was or how much harder it was to give up! I first tackled my diet because, for myself, the workout was the easier part. The eating was the challenge, so I cut out ALL fast food, cut out bread and all things white. I detoxed everyday, I ate vegetables with every meal, drank lots of water, and I really tried to understand what is bad for you and what is good for you. One thing that really pushes me to this day is the encouragement and inspiration I get from others. I inspires me when people make a simple gesture saying to me “You really motivated me to lose weight!” Those words really make this journey worth while. Though I didn’t do this for anybody but myself, it still is rewarding to knows that all the sweat, tears, countless hours in the gym and sun, and sacrifice is really paying off! I hope that I can touch someone to want to change for the better!
