Jodie's Weight Loss Story!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
About 12 years ago after I had my last child. I never lost the
weight gained during the pregnancy and gained even more thereafter.
What made you decide to lose weight?
I saw a picture of myself and didn't recognize myself. I was
miserable and so tired all the time. I made a New Years resolution
in 2005 to lose it and I stuck with it.
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
Not depriving myself, portion control, choosing an eating plan
that fit into my schedule and not one that I had to fuss with.
Exercise is great too. I did the in-home walking DVD'S.
What was most challenging about losing weight?
Weight loss plateaus definitely.
How long did it take you to start to see results?
In a couple months I saw a big difference.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
About 3 years to actually be where I am today, but I lost the
majority of the weight within a year and a half.
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do
it?
I have kept it off for over two years now and do so by being
in control of everything that goes in my mouth.
How has your life changed now that you've lost weight?
I have tons more confidence, I am happy and feel so much more
full of life.

Big salad with turkey, all different veggies, 2% cheese, light

much less calories! I also eat lots of chicken breast with a big
serving of veggies and baked potato.

Serving of rice cakes, fruit.
