Success Story
After a year, he has shed roughly 70 pounds and she has lost over 120. Now that they are both about 175 pounds, Alecia Patranella is happy that, for the first time since they were married, she weighs a little less than her husband. They have to prioritize eating food that nourishes and fuels their bodies because of their smaller stomachs. They emphasize eating a diet strong in protein and low in carbohydrates and getting their daily exercise from three miles of jogging or running. They still go out to dine, but they now choose salads and grilled chicken instead of junk food.

Doing It Together
Alecia Patranella wants to shed an additional twenty pounds, but she has invested in a body fat-indicating scale so that she can track her progress toward her goal weight even if her weight loss plateaus. She has started posting travelogues to Instagram. The couple claims that having weight-loss surgery together was the key to their success. Without her, I could not have completed the task. According to Jason Patranella, “she has been my inspiration and driving force.” We’re experiencing the same thing, so it’s been a blessing,” Alecia Patranella continues.
