BWLW Community Member, Marci has gone from a size 18 to a 10. http://blackwomenlosingweight.com/photo/from-an-18-to-a-size-10
She’s gone from 215 to 173!
She says, “I actually started making healthier food choices in Dec of 2011. In January I started working out. It is now August. I tell everyone it took me 9 mos to get rid of 50 LBS! Looking back, I wouldn’t have it any other way! Most days, I eat veggies, lean protein, fruit and drink lots of water.
I did pretty much what we have been told for years.. Incorporate some type of activity 5-6 times a week. (For me, it was workouts at home via dvd.) Also eat your veggies and fruit. I still eat all of the things that I used to except for McDonald’s french fries. However, don’t ask me about the fries at Chic Fila! lol I don’t follow a strict plan for eating. If I want it I will eat it. I just know if I do, put in extra hard work the next day at the gym. Breakfast might be a GREEN SMOOTHIE or oatmeal and fruit. Lunch is fast food, which can be a JR Hamburger from Wendy’s with ketchup and lettuce and tomato and a side salad or baked potato or a sub from subway. Dinner is lean protein (chicken -oven fried Bobby Dean recipe) and sweet potato and veggies!! Lots of water. Honestly, I can’t tell you when I have a soda! I think it would burn a whole in my chest, if I did!” Great job, Marci!For more great before and afters and to connect with other black women who are losing the weight, visitwww.blackwomenlosingweight.com

Outstanding, you look great! You are right we know what to do but in the past have wanted to do the opposite. I applaud your success.

Great job….I know what you mean about the soda. Water is my primary drink, however, I will treat myself to a glass of kool-aid and yes, even a soda every now and then. But what I do is buy a 20 oz…and drink it over a five day period or until it goes flat. Yeah, that is less than a half a glass a day. It quenches my desire for soda and I only drink it after I met my water quota for the day, which means, some days I don’t even get to it! Keep up the great work!

LaShawn, how did you go from size 18 to 10? My goal is to get to a size 12
