Weight Loss Story: Reanna lost 54 pounds. This mom of 3 was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes at 33 years old. She knew that she had to live a healthier life for herself and for her children. She shared with us what she did to lose the pounds.
On August 25, 2014, my boss gave me a birthday luncheon and I took a picture holding my birthday cake. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at or whom I was looking at. The following Friday, I went to the doctor for my annual check up and weighed in at 192 pounds with High Blood Pressure and Diabetes. At that moment I knew that things had to change. I was only 33 years old and there was no way I was about to deal with those health issues at a young age. I’m also the mother of a 15 year old, a 14 year old and a 11 year old. That day was the day that I decided to make changes to live a healthier life for not only myself, but my children as well.
I began by walking, doing home fitness DVDs and eating clean. I changed my eating habits by going low to no carbs. I completely stopped eating pork and beef too. I worked out 4 to 5 days a week and learned that cardio was my best friend.
I noticed that the weight was beginning to fall off. I started to love what I was seeing and who I was seeing. My current weight is 138 pounds (I’m 5ft tall). I went from a size 14 to a size 4 within 14 weeks. I no longer do I have high blood pressure and I’m no longer a diabetic. My only advice is that people must want it to achieve it.
