Barbara’s story (in her words):
Before After
I am 50 years old and I have lost 96 pounds in eight months by eating healthy and adding exercise to my life! I try to avoid sugars, processed foods, white flour, bad fats, and fried food. I eat all kinds of meat (yep, even the kind they don’t let you eat on diets), vegetables, fruits, nuts and most dairy products. I just try to have reasonable amounts of whatever I choose to eat.
I have not reached my goal yet, but I feel so much better and I do notever want to go back to eating the unhealthy things that I am avoiding now.
When I started this adventure, I wanted to do something good for myself. I chose to eat what I felt was healthy as opposed to any diet foods because I wanted to change my lifestyle permanently! I do not feel like I am missing anything although I would like to find some recipes that would allow me to add some sweets to my diet.
Barbara – you look awesome! Healthy food and moderation make the health journey accessible to anyone.
What a wonderful story!
Here are my favorite sweet options, that I never feel guilty eating:
~ Homemade Apple Sauce (so easy, I’ve even done it in a microwave)
~ Blueberry Crisp (with oatmeal streusel topping)
Wow! What an accomplishment!
You should be so proud of your success.
Congratulations, Barbara!! You look great, and I bet you feel even more fantastic. Your story is an inspiration to those who are working towards a similar goal… WAY TO GO!!
You are such an inspiration! The pictures before and after are worth a thousand words…
Wow Barbara! You are proof that eating healthier and in moderation with a little exercise can change anyone’s life! Congratulations and good luck on accomplishing your goal! Keep us updated!
