Original Post – 2/2014 – Proud mom Kema lost 39 pounds and is determined to keep going.  She wants to get off of high blood pressure meds this year.  Read her weight loss story:

Hello, I’m 32 year old mother of one.  I’ve just moved to PA from Hotlanta. In February 2012 I was hospitalized with PE (Pulmonary embolism), that’s when you have a blood clot in your lung.  For the whole month of February, I was in the hospital. After I was released, a few months later I moved to Pennsylvania. That’s when I found out I had hypertension. I said enough is enough.

In September 26 2013, when I began my new healthy life i was 277 pounds & today I weigh 238 pounds I decided to change my eating habits. Where I live they have a gym, so I decided to start going to the gym. Everyday my daughter would go with me as my support team. I started noticing my face was going down. Then, I went to Target and bought a scale and noticed I had lost 15 pounds. So, I posted pictures on Facebook and Instagram for motivation. Now, I’m just so enjoying my new lifestyle. My doctor has dropped down one of my blood pressure meds. I’m so happy and my family & friends are happy for me. I will continue on my journey until I’m of blood pressure medication. If I can do it, with pray and dedication, you can too. Now, I’m down 39 pounds. #shedidthat I’m on instagram: onlyonekemabema

I’ve joined planet fitness for the free trainer and adopted a healthy way of eating and love it. I’m still working hard every day because this year i will be off blood presser meds. That’s my motivation. my healthy in Jesus name! Amen.”
