One of the things that hurt Lizmery Perez the most about being overweight was the fact that this made her look 10 to 15 years older than her actual age. She always saw herself and was told that she looked a lot older than what she was.

Being overweight affected Lizmery’s health to a point where she had hormonal problems and reached a pre-diabetic stage. Because of this she decided to take action and lost over 120 pounds, she went from 260 to 140 in approximately a year. Her life changed forever because she looked and felt young again. When she lost weight, Lizmery decided that this was the perfect moment to get pregnant, something that she dreamed about for a very long time. To be able to maintain her new healthy lifestyle during her pregnancy and maintain her weight under control she is following the Yes You Can!  nutritional guide religiously and she always has her meal replacement Shakes with her. The meal replacement shakes help her control her sweet cravings and she loves that she can take them to the doctor’s appointments, shopping and all of her family reunions without risking her or her baby’s health. She loves the sugar free protein bars and she shares them with her kids.

Lizmery also swears that every time she has a meal replacement shake her baby gets really happy:

“My baby feels happy after a delicious breakfast, always following the steps of  the weight management program.
