Bracelets for Every Pound Lost
Kelley sent me the following email;
Hi there,
I found your website and wanted to share my weight loss story with you.
The photo I'm sending you is a picture of me after I lost 72 lbs. along with the before photo. It’s hard to believe but I did it. I'm also sending photos of the PoundPuncher Bracelets that I created during my weight loss. It's explained in the story. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
My story begins in 2005 after the birth of my second child. Like all mothers I fell into the everyday routine of taking care of everyone except me. I kept putting on weight, felt depressed, and didn’t know what to do. In 2008, a friend asked me if I wanted to enter a local weight loss competition with her. Even though I didn’t want to I knew I needed to. I began eating wisely, exercising, and losing weight. After the competition was over I still had a lot of weight to lose. I wanted to change, feel alive again, be a happy person, and be there for my kids and husband. You can have all the support in the world but it's all up to you to make good choices in life.
I needed something to remind me all the time to NEVER give up and to be proud of the hard work that I had accomplished. I was determined to get to that dream. I knew I needed to stay focused and MOTIVATED to continue to lose weight, but how? I came up with an idea …..a bracelet. I had my husband create a bracelet that I had visualized. It tracked my weight loss and reminded me to make healthy choices when reaching for food. It was my daily "reminder" to keep going! I had lost 39 ½ lbs. in the competition and continued until I had lost 72 lbs. I felt the need to create more bracelets to help those on the same path, in order to give them hope and motivation. I had never created anything like this before and had no business experience, but I felt I needed to do this. Since then, I launched a website and have sold bracelets in a few stores and on-line. I’m thrilled to know that I was right about following my instincts.
Very few people know my story or how the bracelet helped me conquer the weight loss battle. I wear my bracelet everyday. It reminds me to be PROUD and to stay on the healthy road of happiness.
Thanks again and God Bless,
Kelley Davis

Just happened to come across your blog. I've lost 40 pounds since June 12th.
This is such a great idea! I recently lost 65 lbs, took me 2 years to do it, but was so happy when I did. Kids truly do put a damper on weight. Pound Puncher is such a great idea. Wish I heard of it before. I always lost motivation, but the Hubby and kids were great supports.
Thanks for sharing this!

Such a very nice story of your Kelley. You should very proud in you success. I hope it will inspire more people who also experienced what you have before.
Very inspiring.
Very good idea with bracelet and the perfect motivation! And simple! And weight loss formula is also very simple: "Eat Less and Move More". No one can help You except Yourself. It's very hard way in the beginning, but in a couple of weeks You'll start to feel Yourself as a totally different human. Weight loss books and programs are very-very helpful to understand how Your body works and how to make it lean and strong, but keep in mind, that just reading them with a pack of beer and big sandwich doesn't help - You have to follow things they tell You. I personally lost 20 kg in just 2 first months. Check some reviews at
