By high school graduation, Corey Hyland weighed 400 pounds. She lost 240 pounds first through dropping beef, pork, and soda, and then by counting calories and exercising, but she still struggles with her body image.
Wellness Wins is an original Yahoo series that shares the inspiring stories of people who have shed pounds healthfully.
A lot of people have asked me over the years what my turning point was, but unlike most, I don’t have a specific moment. It was a gradual change in behavior. What I do remember is the conscious decision in my early 20s to stop eating pork and beef and to stop drinking soda. As I said, the changes have been gradual. I’ve been running this “marathon” for a while. I went down to 185 pounds and got back up to 245. I started working with a personal trainer at this point and have been with the same one for the past four years. The past 18 months have been the most dramatic. I dropped down to 151 pounds. My body-fat percentage, which I have tested at a hospital yearly, is 23.5 percent. Adding weight training has completely changed the shape of my body.
