Reader Success Story - How Grandma B Lost 130 Pounds

By , About.com Guide   October 28, 2009

Follow me on:

One of the hardest parts of losing weight is giving yourself permission to put yourself first. That's something a lot of us struggle with, including our successful weight loser of the week, Grandma B. At 55 years old, Grandma B realized she need to make some changes in her life if she wanted to avoid future health problems. She had a hard time doing this before because:

"Somehow I equated taking time for exercise as being selfish. There was always a meal to prepare, or something "more important" to do. It finally dawned on me I may never be around long enough to enjoy the fruits of my labor . . . I want to enjoy my husband, our kids and grandchild. I need to be healthy and active to do that."

That's a powerful statement and something many of us can relate to. Read more about Grandma B's amazing weight loss story and share your own success story.

What is a “grandba?” Do you not proofread your stories – or are they typed in India?
