Tasha has lost 73 pounds!
Tasha has transformed her body going from 236 to 163. That’s a loss of 73 pounds!!
She Says,
“Hi my name is Tasha and I started my journey mid January. Journey as in life style not diet! I worked hard to lose weight starting at 236 and I’m down to about 163 close to goal which is 160. I eat clean foods and I cook my own meals. I eat veggies, fruits daily and drink plenty of water everyday. I workout five days a week doing weight training three days a week, Jillian Michaels twice a week and some tabata and HIIT all at home no gym! I count calories daily on fitness pal app. I measure and weigh my foods. My main focus is more toning now and building mean muscle. No one has pushed my but me. Anyone can do it if I did. I don’t believe in excuses. I’ve become addicted to working out and I love it and I also love to cook clean meals so my next goal is to become a nutritionist/ trainer.
It’s not just about exercise its about what you’re eating as well. I always say its 80% clean eating and 20% exercise and this is true. It all starts with what’s in your kitchen and what you’re putting in your plate. I’m very strict with what I do. I have a foods scale and weigh my foods and I use measuring cups and spoons. I measure everything. That’s the only way to get a accurate count. I track all that I eat. To some it sounds like too much but it’s not and its worth it to me.”

Starlet has lost 67 pounds!
Today’s Featured Weight Loss Success Story Comes from Starlet who has lost 67 pounds going from 263 to 196.
She says, “I took the picture in the brown Sept.2011, the pic in the black dress was around Feb 2012 and the far right photo was taken about 8 days ago. I started walking back in 2010 (3 miles a day) but that didn’t do much for weight loss it really just gave me energy and though I was still heavy I could walk through the mall or take a flight of stairs without giving out of breath. So in May 2011, I just started removing bread and starch like potatoes and rice from my diet…and after about 3 or 4 months I could start to see some changes..believe it or not that picture in the brown is not my heaviest weight. I weighed in at 272 in 2010 but I can’t find any pic’s of me and I definitely know why (too ashamed) in Nov 2011, I began juicing and protein shaking and in March 2012, I had lost about 30 lbs. This is when I saw significant changes in my health and my physical appearance…so I just started putting a little more effort to losing the weight after that by protein shakes in the morning and light lunches and dinners that do not contain bread, potatoes or rice..that’s it. I walk daily in my neighborhood and just recently got a gym membership. Sept 11′:263lbs and Oct 12′:196lbs. I would like to say thanks for what you do because it is so important to let people know that you can do this…if you put your mind to it. I have struggled with my weight for over half of my life. I have been smaller before (160 lbs about 15 years ago) but being a big girl is pretty much all I know. It’s a constant struggle to maintain low weight especially on a naturally voluptuous women but my pictures are constant reminders that I got to commit to whatever I need to in order to keep myself alive. Thanks”
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, Starlet!

Tamara has lost 94 pounds
Tamara has transformed her health and weight losing 94 pounds.
She says, “Hey Ive been so inspired through this page, I wanted to share my story to hopefully motivate another strong beautiful woman struggling with weight loss. Sept 14,2012 marks my 1 year weight loss epiphany. Sept 14,2011 I choose ME. I set out to conquer a task I’d never regret. I’ve cried ,cursed ,fallen , got up ,fell harder but most of all I CONQUERED ! And I NEVER gave up. I weighed myself on this anniversary and I’m 94 lbs lighter then I was 12months ago! My many friends and supporters have filled my heart with love and blessings! I Thank family ,friends and instructors who have been there and who are still there cheering me on as this is far from over! 50 lbs to go! #team GETITIN
Initially I used weight watchers online that helped me control my portions as I was a fast food junkie and that program allowed me to still have it in moderation until eventually I phased it out completely. Then incorporated that with the curves program 30 min 3 times a week, incorporated lean meats good carbs, fruits and veggies . The biggest help was a simple equation sugar =fat I kept my sugar low and my foods clean limiting processed and high sodium foods! As I’m still trying to loose I’m on a high protein regimen I work out 5 days alternating cardio, strength and conditioning at the gym and 2 days doing a sport of my choice swimming running etc i hope this helps thank you for sharing my story.”
