Elizabeth Guardado

She spent her whole day on the sofa

My name is Elizabeth Guardado, I am Salvadoran and I live in Florida. I had always been active and had no problems with my weight, but since I moved with my family to Florida, I spent my time being at home. My husband worked all day, my children went to school and after cleaning the house, I sat on the sofa with plenty of food and watched soap operas the rest of the day. Without realizing it, I was sitting there for hours eating and watching television, living a sedentary life and gaining weight, reaching 185 pounds. I didn’t have the energy to play with my children. Even when I was sitting down, I was short of breath and my heart beat faster. I got really scared and decided to lose weight for my health and my family. In Alejandro Chaban and Yes You Can!’s social media, I saw many tips on how to lose weight and I knew it was time to put them into practice. As of today, I’ve lost 71 pounds! Not only did I get off that couch, but I improved my self-esteem and the desire to live. I transformed my life and I feel beautiful, full of energy and active thanks to Yes You Can!.
