During the pregnancy of my first child and after her birth in 1993, I ballooned to 230 pounds.
But thanks to all those women who told me "girl you will never lose that weight". I purposed to do the opposite. I made the decision to lose weight the right way because I did not want to gain the weight back.
Through the use of a trainer and the Simmons YMCA, I lost 100 pounds! No surgery, no medications, not even with Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and all the fad diet plans.
I did it through hard work (exercise), controlling my portions and eating three meals and two snacks a day. Cutting back on fried meats switching to baked and grilled meats. Changing from white bread to whole wheat bread, from sugary cereals to oatmeal or whole grain cereals and plenty of water!
It took me one whole year to do it-but I did it! After the birth of five children (yes 5 children) 18 years of marriage, I am still a size 2! I am loving God, my husband, my children and LIFE!
I desire this for everyone who wants it, this is why I do what I do.
