Interviewer: would like to show a clip now of member Victoria. She has loss 65 pounds in this little interview that we are about to show you but she is actually since plus 10 more pounds for a total of 75 pounds. Listen to her and talk about her weight loss story, how she did it, how she found help and support within our community, it is great motivation.
Victoria: In college, I was a theatre and dance major and I was a dancer for many years of my life and I always active. And when I stop dancing and started working, I slowly put the weight on and did not even realize that until one day I was trying to walk up the stairs and I was out of breath.
It was like a wave hit me and I said “oh my gosh. I have got to do something about this.” I started crying, I was very, very upset because I had never even though you know I had never been super thin, I always been very fit, very active in the fact that I could not get up, I fly the stairs without having to stop to catch my breath killed me.
I mean I used to workout dancing 10-12 hours a day, nonstop and it would even face me. So, it was a huge, huge shock.
I tried many different weight loss programs that are out there, read many different books you know tried even quick fixes you know detoxes, celebrity diet that and what I did is I read a lot about the one particular diet. The Glycemic Index Diet and I had mentioned it to my sister who in turn had found the eDiet and said hey, they are offering a plan that you are interested in. I was 225 pounds
Male: I cannot believe that, what your weight then?
Victoria: 155 as of this morning, [Laughing] I think eDiets work for me because they made it very simple. They had the meal plans, they had the recipes, they had the shopping list, and they had the support as well that they just gave me you know that little push that I needed. I have a very strong discipline, a very strong will power, but for me was not about going to a meeting once a week. You know or because I have a very busy schedule, I was able to log on when ever I wanted, check everything out whenever I wanted, get the support when I needed it and then not have to really worry about it if I did not.
The online community works really, really well. If you are struggling or if you have questions about anything in particular, all you have to do is log on and you get to speak with someone who is knowledgeable about what you are inquiring about and they give you your answer. You can loss the weight and you can do it smart and you can do it safe.
To be able to participate in something like this as well as just to feel as good about myself that I do it, it is a huge accomplishment.
