Today’s weight loss success story: Trayce lost 100 pounds with clean eating and exercise. This mom of 3 has been inspired to become a fitness instructor and wants to help other moms get healthy. (See her update below. She is now down 137 pounds)
“I’ve lost 100 lbs through clean eating and exercise. Im a Celebrity Hairstylist who is now studying to be a fitness instructor. I love my new life! Im also a mom of 3 and a wife.
I totally changed my eating. I hired a nutritionist to teach me how to read labels and understand food better. I worked out 3 times a week in the beginning. Then, after 50 lbs off, I started going twice a day sometimes. My transformation has taken 2 years and I’m still going. My motivation has been wanting to be the best me I could. I lost the excuse of “its baby weight”. I’m 34. At age 29-30 my husband use to have to push me out of bed and help me up the stairs because my back hurt so bad. I was in and out of the hospital with anxiety attacks. I was just too young to be that miserable. I was an athlete and model prior to my 3 kids (12,9,7). I wanted my life back and I got it. Now I’m training to be a fitness instructor to help overweight moms. I love how GOD has used my journey to help others.”

Updated (Nov 2013) – Trayce is now down 137 pounds: “I did it again!!! People still cant believe that I’m doing it the real way! I’m now done. I’ve been on tv and my photos circulated everywhere. I need the right platform to help others which is why I keep coming back but I’m not half my weight. Praise god it can be done!”

Bonnie Madison says
You look wonderful! Can you please explain Clean Eating to me?
Renee says
Clean eating is nothing white, sugar,pasta,rice,bread. It’s basically avoiding processed foods and eating whole foods.
ajima says
When you eat clean you will be eating unprocessed, whole foods that are prepared or cooked in ways that don’t add extra chemicals and toxins. We are talking about fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, lean meats, meat substitutes like tofu, soy, whole grains, lots of water, healthy dairy and fresh juice. We will avoid fried food, fast food, junk food, bleached white flour, artificial ingredients, soda, commercial juice and sugary drinks, processed sugar (white sugar, corn syrup), and foods with preservatives, toxins, dyes, saturated fat, and trans fat. You will likely be cooking at lot of food at home, making green smoothies, eating salads, looking for healthy snack, and really realizing just how healthy you’ve really been eating.

Lovie says
you have really made want the weight off more god is awsome and so are u
Hmm says
That’s great but not everyone has a husband and can hire a nutritionist so are there others ways
ajima says
Yes, I’ve posted hundreds of stories about women who have lost the weight on their own and worked it out. Take a look at the other testimonials on this site. You can find a way to lose the pounds, unless you have a medical condition or some other hinderance. It may take time, but you CAN.

Victoria says
First off you look amazing… Would welcome any assistance in helping me to better prepare my meals. The thing is I have a fiance 51 and a son 7… They wouldn’t want to eat what I would NEED to eat…. So that’s where my dilemma is. I’m currently doing the right size smoothie shake… replacing my breakfast and Lunch with the shake and eating a sensible meal. However I find myself SNACKING…. if need to find ways to say fuller longer…. when i do the shake I’m ok.. I do that and then a 24 ounce water, so no I don’t desire FOOD, but snacks… like popcorn, i have applesauce at my desk… I have cheese sticks… grapes… and I’m wondering if that’s helping or hurting…. So again ANY help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work… you give me inspiration….
Michele says
OMG! i love it!

Wow you look absolutely stunning…I really wish u had your motivation or someone to lead me in the right direction and help me learn how to get my weight under control at 23 I truly do fear that I will only exist in this life never getting the opportunity to actually live
Doneta Dawson says
Its really a blessing to see someone do it without surgery. I have been on the fence and I keep having to start over. It’s killing me honestly. I am going to do it though. No matter how many times I have to start over I’m doing it! Thanks for the inspiration.
monica says
Absolutely amazing, all done without surgery. I have been struggling with weight loss for 9 years now after having my son, n it’s really hard. No motivation to do it alone. I need people around in the same boat as I with the same struggles. U should come to different cities, do forums n train. Keep updating on your progress, truly an inspiration!!!
