Oh, I love reading success stories of weight losers very much! Their stories and secrets of losing weight inspire me to keep on shedding inches and pounds or retaining my existing weight.

Here is the story of Jennifer Pate of Ellenwood who successfully lost 116 pounds between January 2008 and September 2009.

I am curious how this mother of three is doing now? Did she lose another 25 pounds that she said she would?

What made her want to shed those pounds off? Well, when she saw a picture of herself one day! She couldn’t believe that was her and she broke down and cried.

Due to her obesity, she suffered from high blood pressure, poor circulation in her hands and feet, bone spurs and loss of energy.

What were her weight loss solutions to lose 116lbs? She started doing workouts with another family member and eating healthy meals.

Frequent Workouts. Jennifer did work out six days a week. She did a lot of running outside and on the treadmill, cycling two or three times a week at the gym, step classes, walking up Stone Mountain and running around it.

Healthy Meals. Let’s see her diet plan – Breakfast is a small bowl of grits and half a grapefruit. Lunch is a small salad and dinner is grilled chicken, spinach and fruit.

As I always say, regular exercise and healthy diet are still the best ways of losing weight.

Did she hit a plateau like anyone else who is losing weight? Of course she did. She joined Casi’s Straight Military Style Bootcamp where she lost more weight.

You know what makes her feel good after losing weight? She doesn’t have to shop in plus-size stores anymore! :-)
