Babak\/InSight Foto Inc. From Health<\/em> magazine<\/a>Andrea Gulley Robinson got her weight-loss wake-up call when she saw her size-22 reflection in a mall window. “I felt like I needed a sign on my back that said ‘wide load,” she recalls. The root of the then-32-year-olds problem: She didnt know when to stop eating. “I was raised to eat whatever was on my plate,” she says.<\/p>\n After that reality check at the mall, Andrea turned to Slim-Fast<\/a>, hoping that its advice and portion-controlled shakes would help her downsize her eating habits. “I learned how my plate should look—25 percent carbs, 25 percent protein, and half vegetables,” she says.<\/p>\n Andrea got moving, too. She started walking 12 miles a day and joined a women-only gym, where she could exercise without feeling self-conscious about her size. To keep her motivated, her husband, Keith, surprised her with new clothes as she slimmed down.<\/p>\n Sticking to this simple plan helped Andrea drop from a size 22–24 to a 10–12. And today this 6-foot-tall 42-year-old weighs in at a healthy 160 pounds. But the real reward is how she feels these days. “I really didnt focus on weight or size,” Andrea says. “I just wanted to be healthy. Now I have more self-confidence and lots of energy.”<\/p>\n Before:<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 255<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 22-24<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Now:<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 160<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 10-12<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Total lost:<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 95lbs.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 12<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Her no-gym workout!<\/strong> Safe splurge<\/strong> Nice job! <\/strong> Babak\/InSight Foto Inc.

“I really love my Wii Fit,” Andrea says. “I like to do the aerobics classes, balance games, and yoga.”<\/p>\n
How does Andrea stay on track? Six days a week, she avoids sweets—but on Saturdays she lets herself eat whatever she craves. Her favorite indulgence? Shortbread cookies.<\/p>\n
To congratulate Andrea, Nike is sending her a Nike + iPod Sport Kit with a pair of Nike Zoom Sister One + Womens Training Shoes, so she can track her fitness success and work out to favorite tunes, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
