Jamie's Weight-Loss Plan

Jamie's Weight-Loss Plan

My Diet: "A two-egg omelet and oatmeal for breakfast, chicken for lunch, lean turkey sausage and a baked potato for dinner, and a lot of fruits and veggies for snacks."

My Guilty Pleasure: "Ice cream with Oreos. Life should be enjoyed, and I know I can treat myself without going back to 342 pounds."

My Workout: "I walk two or three miles on the treadmill every other day, and weight train on alternate days."

My #1 Motivator: "The looks of utter amazement from people who haven't seen me lately -- priceless!"

So much can be accomplished if we just take that first step, make the first change. Love ourselves even just a little bit. Forgive ourselves a lot. You are an inspiration.

I am so inspired by your story. I weigh 280lbs and have arthritis in my right knee that make it almost impossible to exercise. After reading your story it truly shows me that there is hope!

WOW!! i am so inspired!! just at the right timing.. so much of our story is alike. I was about 330lbs at my highest 2yrs ago. I had lost about 15-20lbs this past year. then in sept. 2010, I changed my whole life and lifestyle. I have lost 70lbs since then, almost 90 in all.. I am at 240lbs now. I am going to lose 100 more lbs. Your story inspired me and I love the before/after pic!!! so very exciting!! I can't wait to share mine!
