Kim Rainey is today’s featured weight loss success story! She has lost 84 pounds! No pills, no shots, no lose weight schemes.. just hardwork and dedication.
She says, “On this day 1 year ago, I made the first steps to change my life. My wight over the years had always went up and down(but mostly up). I had never had a problem with the way I looked even at my highest weight of 282lbs I still felt beautiful… the problem is that I was completely unhealthy. On this day i said NO MORE. I started walkind 3 days a week and started watching what I ate. The weight just started falling off and this motivated me even more! I got a personal trainer to help me target and tone. I also started doing Zumba which is my favorite cardio! 84 pounds down I am smaller than I was in high school. No pils, no surgery, no lose weight quick schemes… just constant determination and hard work. If I can do it , anyone can. I also have a youtube video for my weightloss journey!”

I have to agree with Victoria,yours is the most touching. I have been a member with BWLW for about 4 months now. I even introduce it to some friends who fell in love with this website . I started out doing good with it then I had a relapse a big relapse eating just about every fried food and junk food I can eat. Then I feel ashamed of myself and I ask myself why do I not have the have the determination and will power in me to lose this weight? Something about you has touch me while I watched your video inside my soul it woke me up! I will lose this weight please pray for me god give me the strength. Thanks for sharing your story.

Thanks so much for sharing your story!!!!! I have been struggling with this weight & was considering having the bypass surgery but was on the fence because I really don’t want to do that. I really believed God allowed me to see your story because if you can do it so can I. I am determined, focused and motivated.
God Bless & Keep up the good work!
Kimberly Rainey says
You don’t need surgery. Start walking and watching what you eat. The weight will come off

yetpraiser says
your story is just awesome. Its has been a year since I joined the gym and used a trainer. He definately helped me loose in the right places. I have had a setback and gained 9 lbs. Your story has reminded me that I can shake off the rest of this weight. This is a inspiration and I thank you. I am workin to improve my eating habits and setting up my workout for the week. I also did zumba and love it. Have to alter things with my knees but it doesnt stop me. Thanks for just being an inspration and Like the other ladies, I think my new theme song will be Aint no stoppin us now. Thanks sista.,

Robin says
WOW, I am a fan. Here I was sitting at my desk, feeling sorry for myself because it’s not coming off fast enough. Then I realized- I’ve lost 10 lbs and am now that much lighter. Now, if I start exercising to go with my healthier way of eating I just might reach my goal and lose the other 60 lbs. Your story is definitely my inspiration and my motivation. I will get up off my butt, and start doing, and stop saying. Thank you Kim for the reminder to “be about it”. I’m on a mission now…
Kimberly Rainey says
You can do it Robin!

Karla says
I just want you to know that you have inspired me to make to the finish line. I have been struggling with my weight your years and I lack consistency. You have showed me that you get out what you put in. Thank you fo your story it will help me with my journey.
Mikisha says
You are such an inspiration for me. I had quite a scare over the weekend, so I’ve decided to take my life back ans lead as an example for my daughter.
Liz says
Wow, so inspirational! I’ve been overweight basically my entire life; I was the big kid that has now ballooned into a big adult. I’m 31 years old, and I like to say that I’ve been on a diet for 20 years, lol!
But seriously, your story is very encouraging. At 280 lbs, it just seems like the weight is never going to come off. I exercise several times a week but it’s my eating habits that are the problem; I’m a very emotional eater. Lately, part of me has said, “Well, maybe this is what I’m meant to be,” but I’m much too young to be having some of the back and knee problems that I’m having. Seeing stories like yours, where you just somehow found the willpower, keeps that hope alive that maybe one day I can do the same.

Awww shucks now! You look great!
