Last week, I blogged about a new way for readers to share their success stories at About.com. The response has been so overwhelming that I realized we can all be inspired by some of the amazing weight loss stories submitted.
This week, I'm highlighting Melissa's story. She was motivated to lose weight by watching her father struggle with his health. She realized that getting healthy herself was the only way to save her daughter from the same fate. She lost an incredible 99 pounds and her before and after pictures are stunning. Read her amazing story and share your own, if you have one. Congratulations, Melissa, and thanks for inspiring us.
Melissa’s story is very inspiring and I am really happy for her and her success. That being said, it has bothered me ever since I read this that she consumes only 1200/1300 calories per day. 1) I am concerned that she may be upsetting her metablolism 2) Is this really a lifestyle change; is it one that can be maintained and adhered to for life 2) I fear that she may not be getting the nutrients she needs on such a restricted diet.
