"This time I was going to do it!"

We all now Sharon Green as Eddie Foxx’s “DJ wife” on The Eddie Fox Show, 99.9 KISS Country in the mornings here in Asheville, but what you may not know is that Sharon, like so many of us has struggled for a long time with her weight.

Sharon was on a Lighten Up 4 Life team last year but did not make the true commitment to change her lifestyle and lose weight. “This year is different she says. I am putting my weight out there for everyone to know and making myself accountable. I know others are counting on me.”

Sharon has lost 17 lbs so far and is working to lose a lot more. She’s paying attention to what she is eating and journaling every morsel of food she puts in her mouth. Per her nutritionist’s advice, she is eating small meals every 3 hours throughout her day “That way I don’t get really hungry and it keeps my metabolism working all day.”

She’s also two-step dancing 3 times a week as her form of exercise. She knows that when she hits
a plateau she will most likely have to exercise more and she’s ready to go the extra mile. Setting incremental weight loss goals 5lbs, then another, has helped her to get to the next step. Sharon advised others to set small goals as well. “If you set your goal too high at first, you might get discouraged and quit if you don’t reach your goal quickly. It takes time and commitment, but it will happen” says Sharon.

“I feel better and people are noticing! When others notice, you feel great about yourself. If you can believe it, I actually lost weight on my recent vacation cruise by making the right choices! If I can do this, hopefully I will inspire others to stay with their weight loss goals as well.”
