Lost 36 pounds with The Daily Plate on LIVESTRONG.COM
LIVESTRONG.COM Daily Plate user JaydeRayn is 36 and hails from Tamaqua, Pennsylvania. She lost 35 pounds on The Daily Plate. She shares her story of how she lost the weight using The Daily Plate, and gives tips for others trying to do the same.
I've struggled with my weight ever since my pregnancy with my older son, now 15. What inspired me? Knowing I was closing in on 40 and that if I didn't make the changes now, it would just be harder in the future. My goal was 150, which was a loss of 30 pounds. It was realistic, because I've not only reached that goal, but surpassed it by five pounds and counting.
Lost 52 pounds with The Daily Plate on LIVESTRONG.COM
I began using The Daily Plate on LIVESTRONG.COM by setting a calorie goal, then documenting my food intake and exercise. I wasn't perfect. Sometimes I'd have a "cheat" day or even a week where I slipped. But through the forums, groups, and friends that I made, I stayed motivated to continue my journey and reminded myself this is a life change, not just a "diet." I'm very passionate about what The Daily Plate on LIVESTRONG.COM has done for me. The tools, the community, everything. Some people don't think diet and exercise can work because it just seems so simple. But that's really what gets the weight off and keeps it off. It's just something you need to stick to.
