Jana lost 30 pounds

Let’s show some love to Jana.  She lost 30 pounds by changing her eating habits and exercising.  Read about her weight loss journey and check out her before and after photos.

I’m 30 years old.  I’m also the mother of 5 year old lil boy. This year I decided that I wasn’t going to keep the same lifestyle. I called few friends to get recipes, advice on diets and ways to change my life.  I changed the way I ate.  I also started doing cardio and a lot of exercise. I was 185 lbs when I started on March 5 2014 (photo in the leopard dress).  On April 25 2014 I reached 155 lbs (after photo in the black top).  I’ve still got more pounds to lose and is true that it’s a lot work.

I got advice from a friend who told me to stop eating white rice, pasta, bread and junk food. He also told me to stop drinking things like beer and cocktails.  Eating wise, I got back to eating salads, vegetables and I now drink green juice (made of vegetables and herbs) in the morning. For fitness, I’m doing cardio, step class and I’m going to start kickboxing next week.  I also love dancing Samba to spanish music because it causes you to really move you body, like Zumba. I do my workouts at home because I’m a single mother, so I don’t have time to go to the gym. My son loves it every time I’m working out on the living room.

Sometimes you just want to give up when you have cravings for food.  However, I believe that when you look in the mirror, when everybody starts too look at you and when they want to do the same you’ve done…it’s amazing. I feel amazing and I don’t want to ever get back to the way I was before. Ladies don’t give up. Get it together and do it for you and for your health.”
