July 2013: Today’s weight loss before and after story: Vlogger Lindsey M. Adams lost 126 pounds. She realized God’s healthy plan for her life, left an abusive relationship and learned to eat right and exercise with programs like Weight Watchers. Here is what she shared bout her weight loss journey…
Luke 1:37 “ For with God nothing shall be impossible “ That is the foundation that transformed a 5’5″, 307 pound women into a healthy, whole and fit 181 pound woman today. After 126 lbs. lost and still losing; God has been my number one source, provider, intercessor, healer and motivator. I started my Journey in July 2011, after the Lord spoke to my spiritual accountability partner about the enemy’s plan to kill me with morbid obesity. I wore a size 22/24 and weighed over 300 pounds. Most importantly I had low self- value and esteem and was in abusive relationships for over 8 years. I found myself being the “other woman” or the “side-line” piece because I tried replacing my feelings of rejection with male attention. Between July 2011 and October 2011, I lost 26 pounds by walking 1 hour on my local track for 3 days a week. In October 2011, I joined Weight Watchers and a nutritional program called “Body Breakthru”. As a member of these programs, I learned lifestyle changes and ways to face my weight loss challenges. I also joined LA Fitness and became an avid group fitness participant. Over a total of 15 months, I lost my first 100 lbs. Today, I am a size 10/12 and 181 pounds. I am excited to reach my goal and I continue to add variety and intensity to my workouts. I also work diligently to stop over eating and emotional eating, as well as to practice better portion control and honest calories tracking. I have been a motivational speaker for the Weight Watchers’ Jennifer Hudson Center in Chicago. I am also an online personality creating videos about my weight loss journey on LindseymAdams.com.

Lindsey that is wonderful, I woke up this morning ready to start my day off by working out first, and that I did do. I will not give up until I reach my goal. My husband even tells me Kota you can give up on that it won’t happen (145lbs.), but like you say with God there is nothing impossible. I go to planet fitness and I really like it and when I don’t go there I do walk exercise with Leslie Sansone. It is going slow with me, but every time I see a pound less I rejoice. Be Bless

I have been battling with my.weight since and can remember. I have so many different diets and nothing seems to work. It’s like I do good for a while then I get burned out with the while thing when the weight does not come off as fast as i Think it Should and i just quit. My energy level is shot all to pieces and. Just don’t feel attractive anymore. I am so afraid of even starting up again because of the fear of failure all over again.

WOW! I have been through the side chick and other woman because I felt like I didn’t deserve better because I was overweight. I meant a great guy on my weight loss journey, and he loved me at 280 and still the same at 200! Your story is inspiring!
