Roni's 100 Pound Weight Loss

Success stories always brighten my day and boost my own motivation. It's great to hear about people achieving their health and fitness goals.

Roni Yonka, a 30-year old woman from North Carolina, used the free diet service SparkPeople (which has been featured on Diet Blog before) to get off to a really strong start, losing 6lbs in just two weeks.

At the start of her dieting journey, Roni weighed 220 lbs. She had poor eating habits, confessing that: "I was accustomed to skipping breakfast and eating one huge meal a day."

So how did she lose almost half her starting body weight?

If you're worried that this kind of achievement involves boot camps, fad diets or dangerous slimming pills, then read on. Because Roni didn't need any of that.

She took small, sensible steps which added up to one big life change. In particular, she got focused right from the start by:

Switching soda for waterEating smaller, more frequent mealsEating lean protein with wholegrain carbsGetting into a regular exercise routineDoing both cardio and strength-bearing exerciseLooking to healthy role models for inspirationOnly weighing in once a weekVisualising her future "healthier and happier self"
