Today’s weight loss success story: Cassandra lost 32 pounds by exercising and following the Paleo Diet.
Cassandra wrote to us and shared her photos and weight loss story:
“I was at my heaviest weight of 201 lbs after having a complicated pregnancy. Two years later, I was still the same weight and of blaming it on the childbirth. I tried many diets. Either I was eating healthy and not working out or vice versa. I was not consistent. I lost some weight doing Taebo and P90X. I joined Crossfit Sumter in September 2012. That is when I became serious about exercising. The only problem was that I wan’t quite eating the way I should. I tried the Paleo diet and noticed the weight and inches fading away. I am more happier and healthier now than I have been in a while. My currently weigh 169 lbs.”

Paleo is when one eats food that ancestors ate before industrial farming- nothing processed. No Grains – only fruits, veggies, nuts, animal products that are preferably organic, grass fed, free roaming. No calorie or fat gram counting because it naturally fills you up. A good place to start is ( I have no affiliation with these sites, I just found it to be helpful on my journey)

How long did you stay on the diet and are you continuing with it?
Cassandra says
I started this diet on January 4th. I lost 3.8 lbs the first week and 3.2 lbs the second week. This is just good old “clean eating.” Even within that two week period, I had a miniature chocolate bar at least 3 times that week to satisfy my chocolate craving and I still lost.

I’m so proud of you Cassandra!!! You are motivating me, cause I’m still blaming the baby too!
Cassandra says
Thanks Quanda! You just have to not think about and just do it. I was doing more thinking than doing. Once you get started, the rest will be history. Good luck to you!
