Today’s featured weight loss success story: Veronica lost 50 pounds after having a baby.
Here is what she had to say about losing the post-baby weight:
“Love your page here’s my story – I had a baby in 4/2010 & a year later as you can see, I still carried the baby weight. Very frustrated, I would exercise then quit- scale wouldnt move. Then I started exercising and eating like vegan for 14 days been clean ever since. I trained for my first half marathon in Oct – consistency is key! I have gone from 200lbs postpartum to 150lbs currently!
I made sure I had a source of protein in the morning- muscle milk or eggs with organic spinach, broccoli, mushrooms and other organic fruits as well as probiotics shakes like kefir. I also added greek yogurts, and more green veggies and snacked on carrots and stopped eating out & cooked more!
Drank half my weight in oz of water daily- made sure I got 7 hrs of sleep!
Ran an average of 16–20miles/ week – Also joined a local running/ workout group that met twice a week called “Run this Town” in order to collaborate with others seeking a healthy lifestyle as well as motivation.
After a year postpartum and I didn’t see the scale moving I was really getting discouraged but I opened my own clinic Iman NP Center in Southfield, Mi and I specialize in natural weight loss because I have been there! Instead of throwing meds at them I’m trying to get them off of the meds. We all need to be reminded that they can do it… Other black women need to up lift each other not tear each other down!”

awesome story!! I loved it, Thanks for your encouragement! I love it that you found your way I’ve been struggling with weight for a good while up and down its just time to keep it off. My problem is my right leg my knee has arthritis in it and depleting cartilege, my ankle has been broken twice I’m not running on this leg as you can see. I can use the elitpictal with no problem and again that’s going to cost a lot of money my patience is wearing thin what can i do besides walking without hurting my leg anymore than I can.
Veronica says
Try lifting weights and the glider and bike you have to switch it up… You can also look up HIIT that can be done on the elliptical it’s a shorter workout but faster in spurts and it will really boost your metabolism! High intensity interval training!
Try detoxing prior to starting your new weightloss habit by not eating meat, chicken and doing only organic fruits and veggies make sure you are sleeping 7 hrs / night and drinking half your body weight in water ! The scale will move but it will take at least 4 weeks to see all your hard work!
Good luck
Veronica

YOU look wonderful. I need help! 39, 230Lbs.> osteoporosis arthritis
, degenerative disc. I need a 80lb weight lose. can you help me?
Veronica says
I will try my best- your arthritis is more than likely due to the extra weight- try non wt bearing exercises like the bike for 60 mins and try going vegan for a while like 2-4weeks. You will feel the difference
