    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: 30 pounds

      "At 12:02 a.m., January 1st, 2012, I signed myself, with my dad, uncle, cousin, and brother-in-law, up to run as a team in Camp Pendleton's Marine Corp Mud Run.

      Weight loss: 30 pounds

      "At 12:02 a.m., January 1st, 2012, I signed myself, with my dad, uncle, cousin, and brother-in-law, up to run as a team in Camp Pendleton's Marine Corp Mud Run. I had five months to condition myself to run a 10K in summer heat. On January 2nd, I tried to run a mile. I was tired, my side ached, and I ended up walking. But I walked every morning. I changed what we ate to local and organic. To cross train, I rode my bike, towing my children behind me in a bike trailer after school. My morning walk changed to walking and jogging. By May, I was running almost five miles without stopping. In June, I ran a 10K with my family, and we finished." - Heather Laney, Setting New Year's Weight-Loss Resolutions You'll Keep
