Weight Loss Story of the Day: Khadijah lost 46 pounds. She changed her eating habits so that she could have more energy to exercise. Then she kicked her workouts up to full speed and lost the pounds. Here is what she shared with us about her weight loss journey:
“When I started my journey I weighted 268 pounds. At this weight I began to notice a lack of energy and increased laziness. I was always the girl to love sports and weight lifting. However, I knew to be a little better than I was, some of the weight had to disappear. Being a better me and living longer than my mom and grandma served as great motivation for me. It also helps a lot that I have a super energetic one year old niece.
I went from eating junk and gunk to being a lean, mean, protein machine. From candy and fast food with lots of grease to eggs, chicken and tons of greens. It is safe to say lettuce is now my favorite food. I knew with extra work on my nutrition that my energy levels would increase and I was back at the weights in no time. I also began running one to two miles every day and going to the gym 3x a week to lift weight and work on abs.
After all of this hard work (about 3 months worth), I can proudly say that I now weigh 222 pounds. 46 pounds gone and at least 30 lbs more to go.Never give up in yourself. If you do others will began to give up on you too. It’s not easy at first because it’s different, but we are made to overcome the challenges that are put in front of us. We determine our destiny. So, Come on ladies! Eat clean and start your transformation. And remember that abs are made in the kitchen. “

Great Job! Sound like you met the Dr. Doctor Terry Starks, I’ve done his program also and lost 25 pounds. Any one who wishes to eat clean and lose weight should google him.
Khadijah Artis says
I’ve actually never heard of him 🙂
Thanks so much though. I’m sure he’s great. Herbalife gave me a hand.

What Herbalife products did you use?
Khadijah Artis says
I use the shakes, protein drink mix and tea with aloe. However, I use them a little differently than others. If you need assistance with your herbalife program I could definitely help you.
