Kind Lifer Mary recently shared how she shed weight by cutting out processed foods and amping up her fruit and veggie intake. Check it out:

Hi there! I read about Jaki and her awesome success breaking her sugar addiction! I can definitely relate. A little less than two years ago, on Valentine's Day, I read Food Inc. and decided I could no longer eat the foods I had spent my life thinking were okay. I gave up processed foods, started eating more raw fruits and veggies and adopted a vegetarian lifestyle. Combined with exercise, I lost 105 pounds in a year! I applaud Jaki and people like her for making big changes that can drastically change their lives! Thanks for posting such great stories!

Mary, congrats! So happy for you!

If any of you kind lifers have a success story to share, private message me or upload your story to your profile and "like" it. I may feature you on the homepage of The Kind Life!

      I am curious with those that have lost a tremendous amount of weight...First, that is AWESOME! Second, I worry when I'm losing weight about excess skin not shrinking back. As it is, my skin gets stretch marks very easily. I still want to lose about 40 lbs in my personal goal to get back to a healthier weight, but I do worry about the excess skin issue. I know if you have that, you can get surgery, but really...how common of an issue is it?

      Personally I would try to verify what I say as soon as possible, but I say if what I do can embarass even only a little the person who make me do everything without being certain of anything it would be worth it...
