Today’s weight loss success story comes from Margene from Believing It’s Possible.
The cool thing about Margene is not only did she lose a ton of weight, but her husband also lost the pounds right along with her. Margene and her husband started their weight loss journey in February 2010 and have lost a combined total of 224 pounds.
Margene has lost an astounding 145 pounds!
Here are weight loss before and after pictures of Margene
I contacted Margene and she was nice enough to answer a few questions about her weight loss journey.
*What Was Your “AHA” Moment?
I had a lot of “aha” moments where I knew I needed to lose my weight. I knew my life would be shortened if I didn’t. I really had given up in my mind after trying practically everything and considering bypass surgery as well.
How Were You Able to Lose the Weight?
I lost the weight on a program called “Take shape for life”. For me, it was all about finding this right program that works and has support and learning system to keep a healthy weight and lifestyle.
What’s Next For You?
Next is maintaining and continuing to be active and live a very healthy long life. I am also a health coach now and love to help others with their health and weight loss goals.
Any Tips for People Looking to Lose Weight?
I would say to be persistent and never give up and BELIEVE that you can do it. And most importantly to pray, pray, pray!! Prayer is seriously what gave me strength and helped me overcome and push through my obstacles.
Here is another picture of Margene which shows her 1 year progression on her weight loss journey.
I love that Margene tells people to believe in themselves if they really want to lose weight. I know that a lot of times when I would fall off the bandwagon it was because I didn’t believe I could do it. Your mindset is so important when it comes to doing anything in life, which includes losing weight and getting healthy. You can do so much more than you think you can!
