Weight Loss Story: Deidre went from a size 12 to a size 6. She prayed for guidance and found the help she needed. Now, she is eating clean, training mean and inspiring others to do the same. Check out what she shared with us about how she did it.

BWLW, Thank you for being a light on the topic of weight loss. It helps to know we are transforming, Body Mind and Soul!

I had the pleasure of praying for help the of 2015.  Then, in January 2016, the Lord sent me an angel…  Terry Starks, The Diet Doctor! Terry is the truth! I started his program in February and the weight fell off my body like magic! Who would have ever thought that weight loss was 85% diet and 15% working out! I’m Eating Clean and Training Mean!

I listen to DMX, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, 2Pac and Biggy Smalls while I exercise. When I feel like giving up, music is one of my motivations. The other motivations I have are my amazing husband and 2 amazing sons. They depend on me and follow my new lifestyle!

I have been a vegetarian for 18 years. However, as of February 2016 I began consuming fish; salmon cod and whiting. (baked, using Ms. Dash only for seasoning) Terry has me doing 30 minutes of cardio before breakfast and 30 minutes of cardio each night. I mix up my workouts, using the treadmill, step master and elliptical machine. I lift weights as well.

My starting weight was 175 pounds in February 2016. I wore a size 12. Now, I’m wearing a size 6. My height is 5’5″.

My advice for others is reward yourself after you feel that you earned it! I still eat gummy sour worms but I will go a month without them. Then, the next month, I enjoy 1 piece at a time, inch by inch.

I still have a long way to go. My desire is to influence, impact and empower the world in which we live in. Lord, use my story so that you get the Glory!
