Today’s featured weight loss success story: Bridget lost 70 pounds. This mother of 4 credits willpower and faith with helping her to battle the pounds and deal with Lupus.
Here is what Bridget had to say about her weight loss journey:
“I am a Lupus sufferer and mother of 4. God has been Good. I used to weigh 210 lbs. I am down to 140 lbs. Total of 70 lbs lost!!
No pills, no diet shakes. All will-power and Faith. It can be done. Anything you put your mind too, can be done. ~Amen!~ I also wanna share that I’m a Lupus sufferer. I had to take steroids and I have a thyroid issue. I pray for anyone who is battling weight-loss, to never give up. It took me some time, but it paid off.
I cut out fried foods, sugar, sugary drinks and processed foods. I drink water daily and eats lots of fresh fruits, veggies and chicken or fish only. I grill all my meats and exercise daily for 30 min. I suffer from Lupus so at times my joints would hurt or I would be tired from fatigue, but I didn’t give up. I just rested when I needed. and picked back up with my routine. After a while, eating right, exercising and drinking water is just as natural as brushing my teeth and combing my hair. Prayer and Persistence guided me to a healthy weight. God Bless you all!~Much love!”

Kudos To You Bridget, Your Story Is An Inspiration!!! I Myself Have Fibromyalgia Which Is In The Same Family With Lupus:( Fibromyalgia Is Considered A Syndrome Because So Many Other Illnesses Are Associated With It. I Had Gastric Bypass In 2004 And I’ve Gained Back A Lot Of Weight Due To Steroid Injections For My Sinuses..Like Lupus, With Fibromyalgia..I’m Literally In Pain Everyday All Day.. I Have To Start Somewhere, You’ve Motivated Me And Im Gonna Start Here, Today:) Blessings To You~
