Pile on the veggies
"By adding vegetables to the foods I love—like eating pizza topped
with arugula and green peppers instead of pepperoni—I became so full so
quickly that I no longer had room to eat things like chips or super-rich
desserts. I said good-bye to four dress sizes!"
—Janessa Mondestin, New York City, NY
Run your butt off
"When I wanted to fit into my skinny jeans again, I started running
20 minutes a day during my lunch hour. In two months, I've lost 20
pounds, have tons of energy, and just finished my first 5K. Those jeans?
They're too big now!"
—Lauren Castor, Anniston, AL
Downward dog it
"Yoga has become the best thing for my relationship with food and my
body. From practicing it several times a week, I'm now more in touch
with my hunger cues—so I eat intuitively and stop when I'm full. I've
gone down a jeans size, and my cellulite has disappeared!"
—Jessica Nicklos, Morgantown, W
Don’t supersize it
"When going out for fast food, I used to get the large-size value
meal. Now, I satisfy a craving by ordering just one item: a small order
of fries or a six-piece box of chicken nuggets. So far, I've shaved off
16 pounds in seven weeks, and I'm on track to being thinner than my high
school self for my 10-year reunion later this year."
—Miranda Jarrell, Birmingham, AL
Save room for your dessert
"I budget for the treats I love. By eating healthy snacks like
carrots and hummus, I have calories to splurge on a piece of chocolate
and glass of wine each night. And I've still managed to lose 20 pounds
in three months."
—Elaine Higginbotham, Fort Worth, TX
