My Journey:
Dear Tosca,
In February 2009, I weighed close to 200 pounds. I was carrying excess weight from my second pregnancy, where I had peaked at 226 pounds, the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I never imagined I would see that number on a scale in my house. Having gained more than the necessary weight in my pregnancy and finding it hard to get off, I found myself slipping into depression. Determined not to go that route, I went back to the gym, often waking up at 4 A.M. just to get an hour at the gym and make it home in time to get ready for work. I stayed on this course for several months but wasn’t seeing any progress on the scale. I kept fluctuating back and forth within the same 10-pound range. I was frustrated and discouraged.
I stumbled upon a message board of what I considered at the time “fitness freaks” to get motivation and learn what they were doing to be successful. I heard almost everyone throwing around the term “eating clean”, so I googled the term to find out more. That’s where I discovered The Eat-Clean Diet® and was first introduced to you.
The next day I went to the bookstore to get your books. I read The Eat-Clean Diet from cover to cover in one day, absorbing the wealth of information you provided. I was wowed by your story! This forty-something-year-old woman stood with an impeccable body and a beautiful smile, looking ten times better than me, a woman more than ten years her junior. I was sold!
I started the very next day. I got my shopping list together, purchased all of my clean foods, bookmarked the meal plan and never turned back. My eating was what made all the difference. Ten months into my clean eating journey, I had lost well over 50 pounds and went from a size 14/16 to a size 4! I completely surpassed my initial weight loss goals!
I always set new goals for myself like continuing to tone and dropping a little more body fat, which currently stands at 16%. My two-time c-section tummy is flatter than I thought it would ever get without an operation but I still have more work to do. I didn’t think it was possible but here I am. I am now between a size 2 and size 4 less than a year after changing my life.
I am a happier, energetic, more loving mother and wife because of The Eat-Clean Diet and your invaluable contribution to health and fitness. Now, whenever anyone asks me about my weight loss and what they should be doing in order to also be successful, I tell them they need to clean up their diet and buy The Eat-Clean Diet!
I honestly feel like I stumbled upon the best-kept secret and I am more than willing to share it with others, so that they too can realize their health goals. For me, there are no limits and I realize that, truly, the possibilities are endless.
Thank you!
