    You Can Do It: Real Women Share Their Weight-Loss Resolution Successes

    It's been about two weeks since you committed yourself to that all-too-common resolution. Lose weight. Are you already slacking on your diet resolution? Has the New Year's new leaf proven no more effective than Sensa crystals, the grapefruit diet, and gallons of a detox solution with a grocery-list of ingredients, like ginger, mint, lemon, cucumber, dandelion tea, cranberry juice, apples, cinnamon, and whatever else you can throw in distilled water? Well, we asked real women for their success stories and were surprised-but-not when they turned out to be simple and practical, without a magic weight-loss pill in sight. Here's a small reminder of what a stick-to-it plan of diet and exercise can do for you before ringing in 2014. - By Ali Swank

      Weight loss: 35 pounds

      "I spent the entire seven months of my husband's deployment at the gym or hitting the pavement. I was working out harder than I had ever done before. My jogging stroller got so much use that I had to buy a new one halfway through the deployment. I've always been a healthy eater, so my diet did not change drastically, but I did cut my portions almost in half. I didn't starve myself. I know my body, and I know how much food it needs to support my active lifestyle. I also attended a spin class religiously. I accredit the majority of my weight loss to spin class. One brave day in July (a month before my husband's homecoming), I decided to try on my pre-pregnancy jeans. I was mentally preparing myself for defeat, but slowly and surely, those jeans slid on like butter!" - Hana Romer, My Weight Loss Resolution
