Lose Weight-Baby Steps

These pictures are from The Today Show website & I will provide the link at the end of my post today which is all about baby steps can lead you to your fitness or weight loss goal. I have said this all along & preached it "to the choir" or anyone that would listen to me. And behold, here is this lady saying the same thing BUT following that advice!!!! This lady weighed close to 550 pounds & has lost almost 300 pounds to date... NO GASTRIC BYPASS surgery either. What was her secret? Each month she chose a different food to cut out & replaced it with a healthier version.
  • Her first month she stopped drinking regular soda and lost almost 40 pounds just doing that!!!! I have talked before about how many pounds can be packed on by drinking soda. She did not go to diet soda though.. she started drinking water & healthier choices.
  • Her second month she stopped eating store bought bagged/boxed cookies. She had been eating one bag or box a day!!! Now, you may not be eating that much but you certainly can trade a bad treat for a healthier version.
  • Her third month she went from fried foods to baked foods.. and so on. BABY STEPS!!!!!! She still has weight to lose but she knows how to do it, she takes it a step at a time so as not to overwhelm herself AND she exercises!!!!
Please read her story at this link:
I hope you get some inspiration from it & take your first baby step!!!!! There are many other stories on this site under the Joy Fit Club section.
