When I signed up for the Peloton cycle class, I was nervous.  I had never taken a cycling class before and while I am fit, my fitness level is not quite at the advanced level that most of the riders are.  My plan was to ride along with one of my friends who has been taking classes on her own for a while now so that she could help me through some of the challenges that come with riding in a group setting. The first time we went together it took all of my strength just to keep up and stay in the saddle!  After about four weeks though, things started clicking, and slowly but surely this became one of my favorite ways to work out. It’s an amazing workout that leaves a positive impact and I lost 5 inches from my waist.

When I was a sophomore in high school, my mom wanted me to lose weight. At the time, I felt like she was being too strict and that it wasn’t fair because everyone else’s parents let them eat what they want. But now, two years later, I’m glad my mom is so invested in my health. My mom used to prepare a keto diet for me when I was too young and she helped me lose 45 pounds from when I started working with her until now!

I used to be a vegetarian who was very overweight. I tried every diet and fad under the sun but nothing seemed to work for me. After years of trying, I realized it didn’t matter what kind of diet or lifestyle changes I made if I wasn’t physically active enough. So, this year when my husband and I got our annual gym memberships we were determined to make some major lifestyle changes that would help us get healthier and lose weight in the process. It’s been six months now since we started exercising more regularly and eating healthy foods 90% of the time–and guess what? We’ve both lost over 10 pounds!  It doesn’t happen overnight but if you stick with it you can definitely see results–and have fun

I recently had the privilege of interviewing Lawrence, who was looking to lose weight and has successfully done so. I asked him what his story was about and he said that he always knew he needed to lose weight but didn’t know where to start. He told me how many different diets and programs he tried over the years before finally finding one that worked for him. Now, at 50 pounds lighter with a new outlook on life, Lawrence is happier than ever!

When I was growing up I was always a little chubby. It wasn’t until I got to college that it really started to bother me though. I couldn’t go out with my friends in the summer or even during the school year without feeling totally self-conscious about how much weight I had put on since high school. My doctor said that there were some prescription drugs that could help me, but they were expensive and very hard on my body. That’s why I decided to try something more natural like Ashwagandha instead of taking those pills for fat loss. It worked and I gain the weight I desired within 1 year.

She said it helped her lose weight really fast without even trying too hard.” Surprisingly it also worked for me and took away extra pounds from my body.

Today, Phillip weighs less than 200 pounds for the first time in over 15 years! His trainer helped him learn that working out isn’t just about losing weight – it’s also about being healthy!

It was the end of June when I finally decided that it was time for me to take control of my health. I had been struggling with weight gain for years and could not do anything about it. My doctor recommended a laparoscopic hysterectomy to help relieve some of the symptoms associated with uterine fibroids, which were causing severe pain in my lower back, hip joints, and pelvic region. The surgery took place on July 12th at 6:00 AM in the morning and went well without any complications. Four days later I felt like myself again! And best of all? The weight started coming off almost immediately after getting home from the hospital! Within two weeks post-surgery, I lost an entire dress size.

I have always had a love for food. I mean, who doesn’t? However, I remember when I was younger, my mother would make me my favorite meal spaghetti and meatballs. It is still to this day one of the most delicious meals out there. But as you grow older your metabolism slows down and it becomes harder to maintain good eating habits. “When I first started taking fenugreek, my results were slow but steady. About two weeks into taking the supplement daily, my appetite began to decrease significantly.” Before long it became easier to say no thank you when people offered me foods that are high in sugar or carbs because not only did they taste different than before but also they didn’t appeal to me.

Jimmy has lost a lot of weight by walking every morning and evening. He decided to tell his story of how he did it.  He said that he would walk for about 45 minutes each time, going at a moderate pace. Moreover, He also said that this is a great way to not only lose weight but stay healthy as well.  Jimmy wanted to share with us how he felt after losing weight and what his new lifestyle was like now compared to before when he was overweight.  In conclusion, Jimmy says that if you want to lose weight you need some kind of daily exercise routine along with eating healthier foods instead of fatty ones. If you can’t do both then just focus on one or the other until you are ready for more.
