I always do those “incredible shrinking woman” posts about Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah & Mo’Nique… and they all totally inspired me. Now I can finally put ME in one.
I made a promise to my loyal readers that I would make a video once I lost 50 pounds and I’m proud to keep my promise…
VIDEO: ATLien for Dramatic Weight Loss (50lbs Down)
[Sidebar: Shout Out to Drama Dupree on the vocals!]
OK… I confess! I was tired of all y’all holding my weight against me. I mean… every time I said something on the site someone didn’t like, it was blah blah fat this or shut your fat that. I was so over it.
Tameka Foster Glover Raymond even called me “Precious” one time. I laughed at the haters but they were right. I was fat. I knew that I’d gained a lot of weight over the past two years. My closet was suffering and while I still had a shoe fetish, my feet were killing me carrying around all that excess baggage on 5 inches.
I admit I had a ball but those late hours in so & so’s studio combined with my favorite mojito’s and Waffle House chicken melts totally ruined my waistline and I had to do something about it.
Enter Dr. Scott from Dramatic Weight Loss. He contacted me about partnering with him to get the word out about their great program and while I was totally pessimistic…. I said I would give it a week I ended up giving them 4 months and counting.
Within the first month I lost 25lbs and did a post entitled “How to Jumpstart Your New Years Resolutions” about my weight loss journey with Dramatic Weight Loss.
I kept going and while I had the occasional slip up… (shout out to Drama Dupree), I’ve finally reached my 50lb mark. (Actually it’s 55 but who’s counting?)
Several of my readers have already joined the program and we are all gettin fine for the summertime. We can do this thing together!
I’m trying to lose about 45 more and Dramatic Weight Loss will give readers of StraightFromTheA.com $25 off the first week.

@StraightFromTheNO ~ Thanks for commenting! I appreciate the support
@MaTruth ~ Congrats on your loss!!! Yaaaay!! I swear I try NOT to cheat, but I’ve been on phase 1 since November. I have to eat occasionally or I’d go crazy. I’m moving to phase II soon but phase I is just so convenient for me with my crazy schedule.

Congrats. I am on my last day of my 7 day cabbage soup diet and by day 5 I had the shakes out of this world. Keep up the good work. This diet shat is for the birds! I want a shake and some chinese food!
Way to go!!! Now stay away from those rich foods!!
Great job Michelle!! You have always been a beautiful sister to me though!! (I’m not on that gay just calling as I see it) Insults aren’t good for anyone, we should lose weight for our health, not for looks & we need to build each other up as women.. I want to know why we can’t discussions & opinions & still have a united sisterhood?
Peace!
Wow ATLien you look great! I just started this program I hope it works for me as well! Good look:)
You look great.
You look great… move over J Hud!

@Terrica ~ Thanks! Keep me in the loop on your progress. I’d love to hear how you like the program.
How can Tameka call anyone fat when she is ugly? At least you can drop the pounds. You can’t drop ugly. Man she’s a total looser. Congrats Atlien.

You look great! I just purchased this program myself, wish me luck!
Tameka Foster Glover Raymond even called me “Precious” one time.

It is perfect time to make some plans for the longer term and it’s time to be happy. I’ve learn this publish and if I may I wish to recommend you some attention-grabbing things or tips. Perhaps you can write next articles referring to this article. I want to read even more things about it!
I thinks you are doing great and it shows. Keep on keeping on with your head held high.
Bitch you still ugly as fuck and fat as hell. maybe phaedra can help you fix that wide ass nose roflmaoo
In the words of your fellow ATLer, T.I., "MOTIVATION"
You know people will always have something to say. Everyone criticizes every now and then, but their criticism impacted you in a positive way. It was worth it!
Looking at the date of this post, I realize I am sooo late, but oh well. haha
Wanted to know how the weight loss journey is going. I know its hard. Wanted to know if you were able to keep it off. I struggle with that as well, and sometimes there are good systems to lose it, but not to keep it off. I just lost another 19 pounds and have 30 pounds to go. Hoping for good advice. I am sad to see the negative fat comments about you as well.
I’m late, but you go, girl! Inspiration at its best! Keep up the good work!
I might be two years late, but Im with you! I need help on this journey and I have a conscious decision to put me first from here on out. I go in next week for my consultation. Im a little nervous, but looking forward to a better me.
So proud of u! Facing a similar challenge myself, need 2 lose 45 lbs to meet my bmi. Its a bit tough when you have no issues w/self esteem, but u know u have 2 do better for health purposes. I’m all in!
Wow, this post is nice, my sister is analyzing these things, thus I am going to let know her.
You Look Good Michelle!!!
Bitch please. What are you going to do about your jacked pie face and your nasty attitude?
Nevermind….can’t fix those.
Later ho.
