I know of someone personally with a real weight loss story which I find very inspiring. Every week, I would read her blog to see how much weight she lost – and she went from 330 Ibs to 164 Ibs within a year. Of course, she had a gastric bypass – but she also did her exercises – and walk a lot and started eating different too. It is definitely inspiring – and if she can do it – so can I – fo I’m not even her present weight at the moment – but am trying to lose some weight – so that I can have more energy and because being a diabetic – i need to keep my weight under a certain number. I wanted to share this with those who are struggling with their weight – so if my friend can do it – so can you – there is hope. I do find stories like this one – very inspiring for someone like myself – who have been trying to lose weight the safest way.
