I Lost 140 Pounds, Lowered My Risk! :

For Karen M., dropping 140 pounds from her 5-foot-3 body represents much more then just a new number on the scale; it signifies the beginning of new experiences.

Almost three years ago, the Illinois resident was dangerously overweight at 279 pounds. Today, she’s become an example of perseverance and success.

With the assistance of the world's leading online weight-loss center, Karen’s life has transformed herself. Last time eDiets.com checked in with her, she weighed 167 pounds and was well on her way toward her goals. Karen has not only become healthy, weighing in at 139 pounds, but also become an inspiration to those around her as she continues to climb to new extraordinary heights every day.

I’m doing things that I never thought I would ever do,” Karen tells eDiets. “A month ago, I did the three-day 60-mile breast-cancer walk. It was a big accomplishment. It’s something I never thought I would be able to do. My husband now also goes to the gym. He’s lost about 60 pounds.”

The first significant turning point came when Karen realized that it was time to make changes. Once the stay-at-home mother of two made up her mind, there was no stopping her.

The online weight-loss program provided her with the convenience, support and guidance she had been searching for.

“I signed up with eDiets' combo plan and never looked back. The plan consists of having something quick for breakfast and lunch, then you make a meal in the evening. The convenience is what I like best because I don’t have to worry about cooking a big meal for breakfast and lunch, and the evening meals are really easy and taste great. My whole family enjoys them, which really helps,” Karen says.
