Serena’s story seems all to familiar in todays world, she struggled with weight issues most of her life. Soon after getting married she realized that the extra weight was changing her life and not for the better. Serena developed a sensible strategy to tackle losing the life long weight. Rather than tackling everything at once, Serena vowed to take baby steps and those first few steps were made, walking the weight off.

When I started, I simply walked briskly on the treadmill for 45 minutes four days a week. Gradually I increased my speed and incorporated the elliptical into my routine for variety. In three months, I dropped 30 pounds. Once my size 22 pants got baggy, I knew my plan was working and I felt ready to improve my eating habits.

What a story but to get the full read head over to Shape Magazine and subscribe to the April 2009 issue and check out the section, “Success Stories.” And read the great cover story about Julia Louis-Dreyfus, “No nips, no tucks,” how the 48-year-old actress got her body.

My favorite part is the tackling one thing at a time, make sure you start with exercise then move to weight control through improved eating habits. The journey is worth the starting.
