How did you feel before and after the weight loss?
Before, I felt sluggish with very little energy and my eating was out of control.
Maimonides had a Stay Hydrated Initiative demonstration, and I learned that drinking more water was healthy. I ate more fruits and vegetables and drank more water. The water seem to make me feel full after a meal. I had energy to walk more and I started exercising.

What motivated you to lose the weight?
While visiting Maimonides Wellness fair, I had my blood pressure checked and it was fairly high. The nurse informed me that if I could lose weight and bring my BMI down, that it would help improve my blood pressure. I joined the Biggest Loser Contest and learned about more healthier choices. The support from my peers motivated me to stick with it and lose the weight.
