Today’s Success Story: Parish has lost 47 pounds from April 2012 to Oct 2012. Â You can connect with her on our online community to see more photos of her transformation.
She says,
“When I went to the doctor in March 2012, I was at my heaviest weight ever and I couldn’t believe that I completely let myself go. Â I was 223lbs, my pressure was high, my self-esteem was low and I was headed to an early grave. Â I was headed to see Oprah on April 4th in New York and decided to that once I got back I would start a lifestyle change. Â On April 8th I started counting calories and working out. Â The picture you see is from the MS walk April 14, 2012. Â I’m not proud of it by no means but that was a reality check for me. Â I had no idea I looked so out of shape, but with hard work and determination I’ve loss 47lbs in 6 months. Â I’ve gone from a size 16/18 to a size 12. Â I still have 26lbs to go to reach my goal of 150lbs but i’m well on my way. Â I’m feeling the 3 F’s (Fine, Fit and Fabulous) using the 3D’s(Dedication, Determination and Drive). Â No diets, No surgery, No weight loss pills…just eating healthy, drinking plenty water and circuit training, walking and jogging. Â I enjoy the skin I’m in.”

You go girl! I am slowly but surely creeping to the 200 lb mark and I believe that is my reality check. Your story has been SO inspiring because I am currently a size 16 and ready to get back to being a size 4/6 like i was in my high school/Army days. Good luck and God bless to all of us! 😀
