Losing weight is one of the toughest things you can do. You need a strong support system and a determined attitude to get to your goals.

Brooke Birmingham ate right, worked out and lost a phenomenal 170 pounds. With such a drastic weight loss it is common to end up with loose skin on different areas of your body and Brooke was so proud of her success she didn’t mind at all. When a fitness magazine heard about her incredible weight loss they wanted to feature her in their magazine and asked that she send them a before and after photo. When they received the photo of her, 170 pounds lighter and in a bikini, they responded saying that they would like to include a photo of her in a shirt. Having seen many bikini-clad women on their site Brooke felt that they were trying to hide one of the realities of weight loss. Brooke chose to back out of the interview and spread the story of her weight loss on her own. Way to go Brooke!
