Meet Sarah, Who Lost 25 Pounds with CleanFoodCrush!<\/h1>\n

My name is Sarah. I am a 43-year-old mother of two (9 and 12), from Martha\u2019s Vineyard. I work full-time managing a local jewelry store and volunteer locally for our business association and finance committee. I have been married for almost 18 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 10 years ago when my son was born. I was put on steroids for many years and gained a lot of weight.<\/strong> Having 2 young children and working full-time made it hard to eat the way I knew I should. I felt guilty around food, and then I would eat good, then feel like I needed to reward myself. It was a cycle that was hard to break. <\/span><\/p>\n

I tried diets like paleo and I found them too restrictive and not realistic with the number of crazy ingredients I would need.<\/strong> Living full-time on an island makes it difficult to find some common ingredients and food can be very expensive here.<\/span><\/p>\n

I found Rachel and CleanFoodCrush about 5 or 6 years ago and followed her page passively making many of her recipes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On November 1st, 2021, after indulging a bit on Halloween, I woke up and felt awful<\/strong>. I had eaten too much sugar. I was on Facebook and I was reading one of Rachel\u2019s posts and decided I would do a BOGO Challenge<\/a><\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

I signed up that day and was immediately hooked. I have lost 25 lbs since November<\/strong>. I am not always perfect and have definitely enjoyed going out and being with friends. I try to be as consistent as I can be. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some weeks I lose 2 lbs and other weeks I lose nothing, or half a pound, but I keep going down!<\/strong> My husband (who has no weight to lose) loves all of the recipes and is so happy that we are focusing on lean meats and veggies!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

I Feel So Great!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I really love the groups and just signed up as an annual member. Rachel\u2019s Step-by-Step Program<\/a><\/strong> makes it so easy to be successful and gives you the opportunity to fit it into your lifestyle. <\/span><\/p>\n

The recipes are easy and so yummy! My current favorites are the firecracker chicken and the sheet pan sausage. I never feel like I am being deprived. <\/span><\/p>\n

I look at this as a lifestyle change and not a diet. I\u2019m so glad I woke up that morning and decided I was worth it!<\/strong><\/p>\n
