How Martha lost the Matter

Dear A.N.B readers,
Today's post is quite inspirational. Its a story of faith, determination and a strong will. I met Martha in 1998. She had always been big it seemed like it was just natural and would probably never change. About a year ago, Martha decided to make an effort, work out, control her diet and lose some weight.

 Martha story is quite motivational as she could have simply argued that she was born this way and let herself alone. Many people are like Martha, big as long as they can recall. It however takes a lot of courage to get up and damn the odds. I've promised Martha that I'd support her course to wellness all the way and in doing this she could serve as a motivator to people who struggle with weight loss or might have given up on themselves.

In my BBM interview with Martha she explained that she had to cut back significantly on her portions of food, She steers clear of Junk food and fast food. Eats a lot of fruits and veggies. Drinks a lot of water and motivates herself by working out in groups. She goes to the gym three times a week and tries to do some informal exercising at home.

She said she loves the way she feels now. She's more physically agile and active. Her mood has generally improved and she has given her self a reasonable one year target to reach her ideal weigh based on the BMI scale. Martha now motivates people around her to join her when she works out.
