Weight Loss Story: How I Lost 100 Pounds Without Dieting or Exercising

Hey there, it’s Janice!

Do you want to know how to lose weight and keep it off FOR GOOD? I used to want to know that too! Forget “dieting” because that doesn’t work. Stop planning to run for two hours a day on the treadmill. I started this Weight Loss Story blog because I finally did find a way to lose weight effectively, with a program by Isabel De Los Rios called: The Diet Solution.

Why Did I Want To Lose Weight?

I hated the way I looked in my bathing suit. I used to be a swimmer, but I imagine now I looked more like a beached whale while tanning.

I wanted to feel sexy again in bed. My husband and I have always had great intimacy in our marriage, but when you’re 250 pounds let’s just say some things are more difficult.

I found out I was prediabetic. If I didn’t get my own weight loss story, I could face diabetes for the rest of my life.

3 Little Problems In My Way

Problem #1: I hated working out. Who wants to see a sweaty, 250 pound woman bouncing around on the treadmill? Not me.

Problem #2: I hated dieting. Dieting has never worked for me. I always just gained all the weight back after. Dieting = torture.

Problem #3. I hated weight loss pills. I’ve tried both diethylpropion and orlistat (doctor prescribed). Supposed to limit appetite and make you not digest fat. Instead they gave me constipation and abdominal cramps worse than my Period. Yeah, not fun. Do not attempt.

How Could I Lose Weight Without Dieting or Exercising?

That sounds like the laziest question ever. But I was just being REALISTIC. I told my doctor I refused to go on another diet. And me going to the gym every day was just not going to happen. I needed a weight loss plan for me.

The Solution

A few weeks later, I came across The Diet Solution. It was a program made for women who hate dieting. The way you lose weight is BY EATING. That’s right. The program is not about dieting, but about eating. Sounds too good to be true, right? That’s what I thought.

I purchased the program online and just followed everything it said. I kept a success journal, used the meal plans, the shopping list helper, and even the diet solution recipe guides. It basically tells you how to plan meals, what to cook, and what food to buy at the grocery store. All you really do is follow the instructions. You even get personal email consultation with the author if you have questions.

My Weight Loss Story

Basically, here’s my weight loss story in a nutshell: Within 10 days on the program, I noticed my pants were loose. After a month, I was down 2 notches on my belt. After two months, I had lost 19 pounds. By month three, I was at 28 pounds. This pace continued, and after a year I had lost 100 pounds!

It sounds so simple, but really it was! An idiot could do this program. I say that as a compliment to the author, Isabel De Los Rios. Basically she’s done all the work, all YOU do is follow what she says.

The one thing I didn’t like about the program is that it’s only available as an eBook. At first I thought this would be a problem, because I like having a hardcopy of what I’m reading. But it worked out OK because I just ended up printing out pages as I needed them. And I guess I saved a few trees in the process too.

So anyway, I hope you found this information useful. If you want, you can check out the program for yourself to see if it’s the answer for you.

Still not dieting,

My Weight Loss Story: How A Girl From Texas Lost 100 Pounds

Hi, Janice here.

First, I have to say that my best friend Jenny put me up to this. She’s been bugging me to start this blog for months, so here I am, finally getting around to it. I want to tell you a bit about my weight loss story so you can see how me, a girl from Dallas, lost 100 pounds.

To start, I guess I’ll tell you a bit about myself. I’m 32, live in Dallas, Texas, am married, and have 3 kids, Daniel, David and Kelly. I’m a real estate broker, love shopping, and The Food Network. And 14 months ago, I used to weigh 250 pounds. That still gets me every time I say that sentence and talk about my weight loss story.

What caused me to finally take action against my weight, was when I went in for a blood test last year and my doctor diagnosed me as being prediabetic. Obviously, I freaked. I absolutely hated needles and the idea of having to inject myself each day or even take pills, etc for the rest of my life was a scary thought. I knew that my eating had been out of control for a few years, but it wasn’t until that moment, sitting in my doctor’s office, that I knew that I had to do something about it.

My doctor told me that 50 million Americans are prediabetic, but that people who act early can completely avoid any complications of diabetes. That was all I needed to hear. Anything to avoid needles. The first thing he recommended was that I join a gym or even get a personal trainer. I groaned. I hated going to the gym, and the idea of running on a treadmill in public turned my stomach. I couldn’t even remember the last time I ran around the block!

I knew it was important that we act right away though, so my doctor and I discussed other options. I loved food and cooking, so that was where we decided to start. For me, food would be the major factor in my weight loss story. We decided the best thing I could do, was start by creating healthy meal plans for weight loss designed just for me. We would target foods geared to burn fat and avoid everything else.

That meant no more fast food breakfasts, no more Venti cappuccinos, no more catered business lunches, and no more take-out pizza on the way home from work. I was trying to take in everything he was saying, but I had been overweight for so long, that I didn’t know if it was really possible to lose weight. But then the thought of giving myself a needle came back. And that’s when I sat up, took a deep breath, looked my doctor in the eye, and said,”Ok, let’s do this.” That was the beginning of my weight loss story.
