Now As an overweight teen, I thought that when I hit 20, Id have an “ugly duckling to gorgeous swan” transformation and the pounds would magically melt off. Instead, I turned 20 and my weight just climbed. In a few short years I developed high blood pressure<\/a>, high cholesterol<\/a>, and prediabetes<\/a>, all of which were linked to my size.<\/p>\n Id been suffering with polycystic ovary syndrome since my teens, another weight-related problem. My doctors wanted to treat me with drugs—some that I could be on for life. All I could think was: “How is this happening to me in my twenties?”<\/p>\n Boy, was that a wake-up call. So I took a hard look at my habits and noticed that I rarely ate breakfast <\/a>and usually skipped lunch, but after a long day teaching eighth graders, Id get home starving and just binge.<\/p>\n Needing a kick start, I decided to try Nutrisystem. The convenience of nearly-instant meals helped me get on a regular eating schedule. Eventually, I started making my own healthy meals.<\/p>\n Before<\/p>\n At the same time, I started exercising. I bought an elliptical, started walking to work, and added strength training<\/a> moves. Soon I had lost 38 pounds.<\/p>\n That summer, my roommate started a “Couch to 5K” program, and she didnt want to run alone. I was so sore after the first day! After a while something magic finally did happen: I started loving it—and running became my favorite exercise. I worked up to running and working out five to six days a week. I dropped another 32 pounds and finished my first 5K in September 2007.<\/p>\n Ive lost another 23 pounds since—for a total of 93 pounds. Ive reversed every last one of those scary health problems: My cholesterol is normal, my blood sugar and blood pressure are awesome, and my symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome are gone—all without drugs. Im still eating healthy: A typical breakfast is a fruit smoothie made with kefir (its like drinkable yogurt) and a veggie omelet. For lunch, I have a salad with turkey or ham.<\/p>\n
