Weight Loss Story

Hi!

My name is Janice Fitzpatrick, welcome to my blog!

My best friend Jenny convinced me to make this site to share my weight loss story with other women. You may not have guessed it from this picture, but less than 14 months ago, I weighed 250lbs. Yup, that’s right, 250. I know, I still can’t believe it. Most women don’t believe me when I tell them, but I swear it’s true! (Haha, I’m glad I have pictures for proof!) Since starting The Diet Solution Program I have lost 100lbs and now weigh 150. My body fat percentage dropped from 33% to 21%. Now I’m just maintaining my current size, and keeping those darn pounds off!

For a little about me, I’m a 38 year old mom of 3 from Dallas, Texas. Two of my kids, David and Kelly, are in elementary school and both agree that mommy “shrunk.” But David 6, always the honest one reassured me one day, that he loved me just as much when I was “bigger” and “more fatter.” How nice of him, hey? Gotta love kids!

At first I was a bit embarrassed to admit to other women that I used to weigh 250lbs. But the more I talked about my weight loss story with others, the more I realised I needed to share it. I realised that women everywhere are just looking for someone to tell them, “You can do it!” So, if I can be that person for one of you out there, then writing this blog is more than worth it.

I am living proof that it is possible to completely change your life, and that anyone has the power to achieve their own weight loss story. Trust me, I am no health nut or exercise freak! Ask my husband! He would scoff at the mere suggestion. He knows as well as I do that I’m the first one to go for the Doritos. But in fact, right now, I’m actually eating an avocado, so how’s that for inspiration? Great source of fiber!

I’m actually a full-time real estate broker too, and did I mention I have 3 kids? Oh, and a husband. So finding the time to write a blog can be tough. But I’ll do my best and I sincerely hope that this will be helpful and encouraging to you too, no matter where you’re at in your weight journey. Because oh man, is it a journey! Not a sprint, but a day-in, day-out marathon battle where you gotta fight everyday. So, from one fighter to another, I hope you enjoy my posts, and who knows, maybe you’ll find that The Diet Solution is the answer for you too. Thanks. xx oo -Janice
