Pamela lost 30 pounds in 60 days!
Pamela is today’s featured success story!
She says, “60 days ago I started on a journey, no meat, no dairy, no bread, no sugar, nothing white.. and 60 days straight in the gym sometimes while doing Insanity in the morings or afternoons as well. It was difficult but God saw me through I begin to love veggies that I had never tried and I begin to love to work out again. I went from 207 to 177 I feel great I am still striving for 25 more and I will be at my goal weight. I just signed up for my 1st triatholon next year and my life has only begun. I will be 44 years old in November and this Grandma has a plan to stay fit and healthy and in 2014 run a 1/2 marathon.” Great job, Pamela!!!https://www.facebook.com/pamela.hendersonwhitfield
Denise lost 40 pounds with running!
BWLW and Black Girls RUN! member Denise has lost 40 pounds!
She says, “I’m 41 years old & New to BWLW!!! I was told by 40 I would be cripple due to needing double knee replacement since my 20’s. I started my journey March 2011 after being scared sick with thinking I had Double Breast Cancer & Thyroid Cancer both at the same time after going through multiply test & several Biopsy. I had my wake up call. Thank God all test was negative, so I started my research on weight loss programs and I choose Weight Watchers & support group FFL And have lost 40 lbs as of today. I recently quit WW bc It’s been a year and a half and i feel like it’s time to try something New to reach my goal weight loss of 15 more lbs. Ladies my Motto is ” If I Can Do It Any One Can”. I have done six 5K’s and recently finished a 10 Mile Run/Walk with these 2 Bad Knees. This journey by far is not easy!! Slow is always Better. My highest weight was 225 I wore a size 18/20, today I weigh 185 and wear a size 12. I’m in the medical field my before I wore XXL Scrubs today I wear a Med and they are big on me.”
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, Denise!
Pamela’s 1 year transformation in pictures – 70 lbs gone
BWLW Online Community Member Pamela, posted these amazing photos of her 1 year journey of losing 70 lbs and gaining so much more!
She says, “This weekend will mark my 1 year BGR/Fit-iversary. A year ago I decided to focus on me. After spending my 40th birthday in the hospital with chest pains and shortness of breath, I decided I had to do something. My only goal was to just feel better. Thanks to my girl Shelia, I started out with Black Girls RUN! a week after my birthday. That first Saturday I thought I was going to DIE! LOL We did both Main and Acosta bridges! But I continued to come out to BGR 3 days a week. I then picked up Zumba, Boot Camp or whatever groupon/coupon deal I could find. At first I did not change my eating habits. I would exercise 3-4 days a week but I still ate whatever I wanted. I dropped about 20lbs doing this. February 2012 I decided to do a juice fast. I stopped eating and juiced only for about a week. I then incorporated eating 5-6 small meals daily. I eliminated beef, pork and most wheat from my diet while adding in more veggies and fruit. I keep track of my calories eaten and burned through My Fitness Pal. I now exercise 6 days a week and I have lost 70lbs. Consistency is my key. I never gave up. I did not make excuses why I couldn’t exercise. Over the past year I have not stopped. I cannot stop….I WILL NOT STOP. Why???? Because I am worth it! ♥” You are an inspiration, Pamela!!!!
