This is an article on Keisha McCarthy who works at the Royal Bank of Trinidad and Tabago and has began her journey to shed unwanted pounds. According to the article her past weight was 342 lbs., she is 5′6″, and is now on a 1,222 calorie diet. Keisha decided to shed pounds when her company offered a six-week dieting and exercise challenge. Now that the challenge has ended, she has made it a lifestyle change:
“Now I can take two steps and not feel tired,” she said.
“I feel different and my clothes fit better. I have this particular pair of jeans that I couldn’t wear and now I can fit into it easily. I even need to get a different set of work uniforms as they look and fit bigger.”
“The challenge was for six weeks but I am on a lifetime challenge.
“I can’t give up. Sometimes it is not easy, but there is no option to quit. The older I get, the harder it is to lose weight,” she said.
Good for you Keisha!
