Susan's Gone the Distance

Susan’s weight loss journey has been rewarding in the long run, both on and off the scale. Let’s hear about it, directly from her. 

Racking Major Stats

• Original weight loss: 84 lbs in 13 months 
  

• Weight loss maintained: 3.5 years
  

• Additional weight loss: 12 lbs, kept off since March 7, 2024

Newfound Confidence

My biggest non-scale victory is how I feel about myself and the confidence I gained. I started this journey because I no longer wanted to be the “fat mom” for my kids. I wanted to show them that if you put your mind to something you can achieve it, no matter your age. When I was heavy, I avoided going out because of how I looked. My life has completely changed since I lost the weight. 

A Family Affair

I used to dread taking my kids places because I didn’t want them to be judged based on how I looked. Looking back on family photos over the years and seeing the difference in my appearance keeps me motivated. Now I am ready to do anything my family wants to try. I no longer get tired and want to sit while going for walks with my girls. 

The major impact on my family was just us becoming healthier as a whole. We all became more aware of our food choices and realized what an unhealthy lifestyle we had been living. One of my daughters even lost a significant amount of weight due to our new lifestyle. 

Talking Shop

I could never find clothes that made me feel good about myself. I used to hate shopping in stores for clothes because I didn't want people to see me in the plus-size section. Now I love being able to shop with my daughters — we can even steal each other's clothes! 

Mealtime Magic

Eating at restaurants is a lot easier than I anticipated. I skip the breads (even though they are so good) and order chicken or a small steak, lots of veggies, and a small potato. If the portions seem big when it’s served, I ask for a to-go container right away and put some in there to prevent overeating. 

At group dinners, I choose the healthiest options and make sure to eat lots of veggies and drink water. I still take the Release® supplement with meals. It has become a part of my daily routine and I believe that it helps me stay accountable. 

Staying the Course

I still have my days where I don’t make the best decisions, but I never give up because I know tomorrow is a new day.
