Inspire! Day 10- Tiffany

From Madelynn: We are winding down our days of Inspire! Today Tiffany joins us and what I love about her story is how she knew something had to change and through some sacrifice she has seen amazing results quickly! Not all of us can see results like this BUT we won’t know till we try! Meet Tiffany…

My name is Tiffany Lee and I struggled with my weight for many years, even when I was young. I think it all began when I lost my dad at the age of seven and then losing my brother thirteen years later. Because I didn’t know how to cope with depression and the hurt I turned to food. The fast paced life of working, going to school and being a mom drove me to a lot of fast food restaurants.

After having my son I gained 40 pounds and I never got rid of those pounds. I tried many diets but I would fall off the wagon after a couple weeks. I never got the motivation I felt that I needed after having my son. Years later I had my daughter Nevaeh and I gained another 19 pounds!

Before the end of 2013 I was through with feeling tired, heavy and unmotivated! By this time my aunt Mari started to lose weight drastically with a new eating plan and I became a little interested in what she was doing. She explained to me he was on a high protein diet, no carbs and no sugar… I nearly passed out! I like my pan (that’s Spanish for bread) and for someone who loves pasta and bread I was like “OMG!” I didn’t think I could do it! BUT, by the end of THIS January, I began my journey! I attempted no carbs/no sugar diet and it was extremely hard that first week, however, in the first week I lost 9 pounds! I was motivated!

In six weeks I have lost a total of 22 pounds and a lot of inches. I have lost -4.5 inches around my waist -4 inches on my hips and -3 inches on my arms. I feel great! My family has been a tremendous encouragement to me and my church family as well. If you haven’t done something already, I encourage you to try it…. You won’t regret it!
