Weight Loss Success Story of the Day: Proud mom Brandy lost 131 pounds. Exercise was key to her transformation and now she is able to be more active with her children. Find out how she did it:
โHello my name is Brandy Francis. Iโm 34 years young and a single mother of a 2 going on 24 year old. MY Battle with weight has always been just that, a battle, but in 17 months I have lost 119 pounds. My highest tipping weight was 292 pounds and I now weigh 161 pounds. That is a total of 131 pounds.
I have done every weight loss program and supplement, but to my surprise neither one would help me loose the weight I have currently. My employment with a warehouse is where the shedding of pounds started, it is equivalent to going to the gym 4 to 5 days a week working out and 4 to 5 hours on every part of my body. My eating habits changed because of my recent โsinglehoodโ. I could no longer enjoy the luxury of fast foods 3 to 4 times a day. So, being in this warehouse they would only allow water on the floor which was a battle because I was addicted to Pepsi. At first I said, โNoooo Water.โ but NOW water is my best friend. Iโm no longer on blood pressure meds and Iโm so much more active with my 29 month old. Iโm so blessed and grateful that at one of the worst times of stress in my life I didnโt revert to old habits of binge eating or feeling sorry for myself. The biggest size I put on was a 24/26 at Lane Bryant and Iโm now wearing a size 10/8. I will always battle with weight, but right now Iโm winning!!โ

Thank you so very much for posting. your story inspires me on all levels since I am 33, size 24/26 at Lane Bryant @292lbs now .. my highest was 303, also binge eat and I do aim to be 160lbs and I do believe it can be done. Your story is the invaluable โ you can get this done girlโ push I need to read TODAY of all days since I have fallen off the wagon and need to get back on board after binge eating last night when I looked at the scale and saw that despite my hardest efforts re: exercise and a lifestyle change I gained 4lbs in 2 days. I am going to lose weight , I am going to keep it off .. I can and I will!!
. Am thankful for My big sis Veronica and this website.
