Stacie Guines drops 186 pounds and gains fame

L A Weight Loss's very own Stacie Guines of Tennessee graced the the cover of People Magazine's annual Half Their Size feature this week, and we are so proud of her!

Before she stepped foot into her local center though, this sneaky snacker would eat more than her fair share at the table. A typical meal might include two hot dogs topped with coleslaw, chili, and cheese; a half bag of Doritos; four Little Debbie Oatmeal Crème pies; and two 16-oz. glasses of Kool-Aid for lunch.

By diligently following her L A Weight Loss routine, Stacie went from 340 pounds to a slender 154 pounds. Her one-on-one weight loss counselor taught Stacie portion control and how to choose healthier options, and gain control of her diet.

Today, Stacie's lunch usually includes five slices of turkey on wheat bread, a small salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing, one orange cup of sugar-free Jell-O, and plenty of water.

It's not wonder her success landed her on the cover of People. But that's not all who's interested in her miraculous weight loss journey. After the producers of the TODAY Show heard about Stacie’s weight loss success, they invited her to the studio to share her story to their viewers. Stacie appeared on the show twice to share her weight loss secret.

Looking good Stacie! Keep up the great work!
