My name is Zaida Avina, I'm 32 yrs old and I have lost 40 pounds. It was not easy, but I didn't feel good anymore, struggling to wake up, depressed and just having to look at myself in the mirror was something that I couldn't take no more. It's hard to stop eating the food that we enjoy, to exercise, to fight laziness, but one of the hardest things is to start loving yourself again, enough to say I want to change, I want to be different, I want to lose weight. Yes, there are going to be times you will want to quit, DON'T. I encourage anyone out there to do it, to make a goal, to start. I promise you that you won't regret it.
