Lashonda lost 70 pounds

Transformation of the Day: Lashonda lost 70 pounds. The last straw for her was being diagnosed with high blood pressure, cholesterol, and severe anemia. She used a Ketogenic lifestyle to reclaim her health and release the weight.

My name is Lashonda, and I’m a Ketogenic lifestyle coach. I want to share my journey with other people who are struggling and feel like they CAN’T reach their goals. I’m here to prove they can and show them that EVERYTHING is possible. I went from 275 pounds with high blood pressure, anemia, and high cholesterol to having none of that. Now, I weigh 205 pounds, and I’m still making progress. We’re all our worse enemies, but with determination, dedication, and accountability, we CAN. YOU CAN’T SPELL CHALLENGE without CHANGE. 

What was your motivation?
My motivation is the will to live! Being diagnosed with high blood pressure, cholesterol, and severe anemia was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I was miserable, but I was also determined to become the example of “I CAN.”  

How did you change your eating habits?
I turned to the Ketogenic lifestyle and got rid of carbs, sugars, and anything that would knock me out of ketosis. The Ketogenic lifestyle heals, restores, and revives. There is power in food. 

Tell us about your workout routine.
I didn’t do much working out, just walking here and there. 

What is your height?
I am 5’4″.

When did you start your weight loss journey?
On January 6, 2020, my life changed for the better. Now, 11 months later, here I stand at 205 pounds. I’m no longer on blood pressure meds. I’m the healthiest I’ve been in years. I have more energy, more clarity, but most importantly, I’ve found joy! I’m glad I totally lost it, but IN A GOOD WAY!!

What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?
I learned that determination and dedication will take you a long way. 

What advice would you like to share with women who want to lose weight?
I would advise ladies to keep going. EVERYTHING is possible because somebody has done it. I’m that somebody.
