Lose Weight + Boost Your Metabolism After Age 40
Congrats to our Fit Mother of the Week!
“My doctor's comments changed my life!” says Tamara Lemieux, 51.
I thought it was somewhat normal for people my age to have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. When she eventually told me that I was borderline diabetic, it scared the living daylights out of me! I will be 52 years young in December, and thank goodness I found my positive path! I went on to lose 35 lbs, and 31.5 inches! My health will be my biggest gift to myself, by far! I have found a new me!
Tamara lists among her NSVs:
- Building up strength and focus
- Feeling more self-confident
- Sleeping better
- Shopping for clothes without going to the “Plus Size” section
- Being overall happier ♥️
We are glad you found that new YOU! Keep rockin' it!
