What motivated you to start a weight loss program?

I have been overweight all my life and trued different diets and apps before and I stumbled upon this one and stuck with it and continue to lose weight.

What are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced during your weight loss journey?

I would snack after dinner and diet sodas so I started exercising and got off my the diet sodas which helped a lot also when I gained weight I would get discouraged I would just look at the different tools on the app and that kept me on track

Describe a non-scale victory from your weight loss journey that you’re proud of.

Well when I started I had a blood sugar of 450 but after 48 days I now have it under control and it is now 106 to 115 and it has allowed me to get off all my diabetic meds and just control my type 2 diabetes with diet instead of a bunch of pills and insulin

What’s a healthy habit you’ve built that helps you stay on track?

I log all food before I eat and it keeps me eating healthy

Hi, I'm Erin! I have been leading the marketing team at Lose It! since April, 2017 and have spent the earlier part of my career in the healthcare marketing industry. When I'm not working, I'm probably trying to keep up with my dog in the woods or making a mess trying a new recipe in the kitchen. A New Englander through and through, some of my favorite foods are regional classics: lobster roll, corn on the cob and apple pie!
