I started my journey September 7, 2013. I weighed in at 280lbs. I set a goal to lose 100lbs and I did that in one week shy of a year! I now weigh 165lbs. There are no gimmicks or tricks to this. I stuck to what I knew to be true... Eat right, drink water, move more. My journey was documented from the beginning on my instagram page @lakeitha_duncan. This document/PDF is basically everything I've learned from starting out low-fat, to now being low carb. Both work its just a matter of figuring out which one works best for you! I'm not a medical professional or nutritionist so as with anything, check with your doctor as needed. Thank you for your support, Lakeitha
