Mia lost 54 pounds by eating right and exercising! Let’s show her some Black Women Losing Weight Love. Here is what she shared with us about how she did it:
Hi my name is Mia and I am a huge fan off your page. I recently lost 54 pounds and I feel really awesome! I did it with dieting and exercise! I want to lose 80 more pounds and I’m working hard to achieve my goal.
I was motivated by my two boys who are 5 and 2 years old. I want to be a healthy mom for them. I cut out eating junk food and started to eat a fruit or vegetable with every meal. I also increased my water intake too. I started doing an hour of walking at least 4 times a week. After a while, I started doing a full body workout at the gym at least 2 times a week (out of my 4 day workout schedule). I started at 325 lbs now I weigh 271 lbs. I started my mission October 2012 and through continued diet and exercise I’d like to lose 70 more pounds. Thank u so much!!
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!
