Today’s featured weight loss success story: Electra lost 30 pounds and says that it has a lot to do with mindset. I agree.
Here is what she had to say:
“After having a 7 & 4 yr old (yes long over due) I have done it! And next year I will do it again! Time to get leaner & tone up 2013! Full time working mom, wife, kid in modeling and acting, active in church activities (no excuses). I started 15mins a day and went to a half marathon this year…13.1 miles. WE can do this!!! I stuck to my New Years resolution for 2012! 🙂 #teamsexibodi
I tried MANY different diets and many failed because I fail them. I began working out 15mins a day right before I picked up my kids just to get into a routine. The kicked up my water content from 3 16.9 oz bottles to 1.5 liter. Then I bought toddler sized plates and started eating off those because I was not strong enough to eat properly from regular plates. I worked out 1 day to now 3-4 times a day from 30mins to 1 hr. I worked up from 1 mile to a half marathon (13.1 miles). My journey took 2 years because it took that long for me to change my mind. I lost the weight in 8 mos but I tell everyone 2 yrs bc it’s more important for one to see the journey than the lbs lost. As long as u do it, doesn’t matter if it takes 5 yrs. Once u change YOUR MINDSET u will change your body forever. Once u change your eating habits then regaining the weight is minimized. It starts with the mind.”

Would like to send you a big CONGRATS!
I would love to lose any amount of weight, I just can’t do it.
How did you do it?
Shaunta Rowe says
Start with small changes like she did. Instead of seconds with dinner, try one smaller plate. You could even try drinking a glass of water before one meal then increase it to all meals. Knowing that you need to make changes is already a step in the right direction. It takes many small steps to complete a journey.
