Before & After
Dear Glam Gals,
My name is Jaki Sinclair and I have lost 120 pounds (and am maintaining the loss) by changing my attitude, moving a little more and eating a little less. No fad/crash diets, pills or surgery.
I’ve been overweight since grade-school and have spent most of my life on a diet or planning out my next diet. I would love to be able to encourage other people that, like me, have struggled their entire lives to lose weight and let them know not to give up.
I’ll be turning 48 next week, have my first bicycle in 30 years and feel like I have my life back and want to share with everyone.
I’d love for you to do a health success story of me to encourage people to make healthy choices and not to give up.I have attached a before and after photo and also a pic of me and my pup (Sassafras) on a bike ride. My Blog: www.slimdownu.com
I hope I hear from you! 
Jaki Sinclair
Hi Jaki,
Your story is truly one that we would love to share! You have really transformed yourself and it looks like you’re living life to the fullest with your new healthy lifestyle!
Thanks for sharing your inspirational story…many of our readers are struggling with their weight and it’s easy to think that because we have hit a “certain age” that we can’t change but you have certainly proven that change can happen, even after 40!
Keep it up!! We are so thrilled that you wrote us!

Have you considered trying a cellulite cream?
Do those Cellulite Creams that promise you the moon with a photo of a gorgeous toned body, really work?
Do you know the recommended about of sunscreen that you are supposed to apply on your face for it to work?
Can you really just “freeze” away belly fat?
After all the holiday excess it might be tempting to try anything to be able to squeeze back into your favorite pair of jeans, so make sure you read this week’s Fashion Flash to get the facts before spending your dollars on a gimmick.
Our host this week, is the dynamo, Staness of the Menopause Make Over, where you can read up on these stories and more from our talented team of over 40 fashion and beauty bloggers!
Enjoy!
