Let’s show some Black Women Losing Weight love to Sharday. She lost 100 pounds and has kept it off for 4 years. She did it with regular exercise, embracing juicing and eating fresh fruits for breakfast and lunch. Here is what she shared with us:
I would love to share my weight loss story with all of you. I was 286 pounds and came down to 186 pounds. Thanks be to GOD, I have kept it off for going on 4 years this year. I exercised and ate right. In the end, I went from a size 22-24 to a size 12-14…And I did it in 6 months!
I was my own motivation. I knew I had to do it for myself. I changed my eating habits by eating fruit for breakfast and lunch. For dinner, I ate whatever I wanted to eat between 5 pm and 6 pm. I ate absolutely nothing after 6 pm. Some days, I didn’t eat anything solid until 5 pm and only filled my body with water and fresh fruit juice. I walked everywhere I went because I was in school at the time. Then, I would go walking 2 miles a day for exercise and jogging 1/2 mile. I would turn around and walk back to my room at night. I would play basketball or tennis just to stay active and to keep my mind off of food.

Hi Sharday! You look great!! My friend and I were so inspired by your story that we have decided to do the same thing. Can you share examples of some food you decided to eat for your meal between 5pm and 6pm?

Sharday you look amazing, I need to lose at 100 pounds, my weight started at 286 also, I have lost a few pounds and I accept that any wt. loss is wt. lost. But, I am truly interested in fruit for breakfast and lunch and a healthy dinner. I work out with a personal trainer 3 times a week for 30-60 minutes each time. I need a hip replacement and my doctor will not perform surgery until I am 225 or lower. I return for an office visit in Dec. Pray for my success!
