Angela Williams loses half her size, discovers a whole new person

Angela Williams is a true weight loss super star. She lost over HALF her weight (!), and was featured in People Magazine’s ‘Half Their Size’ feature in May.

Angela was overweight from a young age. In fifth grade she was already 180 pounds. She was constantly teased, and couldn’t cross her legs. As she got older, Angela only got bigger, and developed arthritis, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and was borderline diabetic.

Her wake-up call came when her aunt died of heart disease. Angela knew she had to stop with the excuses and start losing weight. She joined L A Weight Loss, cut out the fast food and snacks, and later started walking to help work the weight off.

In two years, Angela was a new woman. She can finally wear skirts and capris, and feels 100 percent happier and more confident!

Here's Angela at nearly 400 pounds:



And look at her now!! WOW!!! Awesome job, Angela!
