Today’s featured weight loss success story: Anitra lost 80 pounds.
She says, “Hello BWLW!!! I’d love to tell my journey. Sharing my new health keeps me motivated. At the end of 2011, I was 22 years old and weighed 320 pounds. I ate junk food all day and enough meals that could feed families. I decided then there was a change that needed to happen inorder for me to be healthy and happy. I went cold turkey, stopped eating meat and sweets. Only drunk water, ate fruits and veggies and walked daily. Time is reaching a full year since I started my journey however this still ain’t easy. Lol! I’ve been working a year and only have 60lbs left to being healthy. Amen, thank you Jesus.”

Sylvia says
I’m curious as well as to what you ate. I wish this site gave specific questions for the people they highlight to answer. I find many of highlighted women are vague.
Roxanne says

Everyone carries their weight differently because you started at 320 and have lost 80 when your before pic doesn’t look like 320 and your after picture doesn’t look like 240. How tall are you? You look amazing. Congrats. I started my journey about 2 weeks ago and I feel great in just a short amount of time.
Lenore says

@felice thank you and yea i know most of my weight is in my hips and stomach but my before pic was 290 i dont have my 320 pics but i am 5’11 in height

Very inspiring Anitra, you are very beautiful. Are you eating protein in any form? Fruits and veggies are so good for the health but not a balanced diet. Fats and proteins are important.

SPINACH HAS IT BUT I EAT NUTS KALE AND VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS WITH PROTEIN 🙂
