Today’s weight loss success story: Alicia lost 72 pounds by walking and watching her portions.
Before (in the dress) and After in the Jeans (photo below). Ā I lost the weight by watching my portions. Ā I love my sweets,. Ā Istill eat them, only in moderation now. Ā Exercise? Ā just walking mainly. Ā I actually started walking as a stress reliever, and the end result was the weight started coming off. Ā Ā The more I walked as I saw results. Ā I went from a size 24 to a size 12. Ā It took a year and a half..for the weight loss…best side effect I ever experienced in my life. Every now and then i did do Zumba. I drank water, water,water!! 72 lbs lighter.
I do include more veggies and I now eat a lot of baked chicken and fish. Ā I watch my portions and if need be (if I am having something I know I have no will power) I will reach for a salad plate or saucer.

You looked great in the before photo! Can you mail that dress to me, I love it?? lol It’s a little too big for me, I’m a sad 18, wishing I was a 12. Great job, and I think your way of losing is the most inspirational to me because you didn’t stop being natural, you just cut back. Life is good and I’m determined not to live it in this body that’s covering up my underlying glam!! You did a great job and may God bless you to continue to reach your goals and thanks for posting!!!
