Miss South Carolina Loses 110 Pounds

Many may not be able to tell, but the gorgeous Miss South Carolina went through the battle of losing weight before she entered the Miss America pageant. Her name is Bree Boyce, and she lost an amazing 110 pounds.

Boyce says that she is proud of herself because she went from 234 pounds to winning the swimsuit portion of the pageant. I believe that Miss South Carolina is a good role model for teenage girls because she is showing them that they can reach their dreams if they try hard enough.

Boyce says that she has battled with her weight since she was seven years old, and that it reached an all-time high when she was seventeen. Boyce said it was simply all because she didn't take care of herself properly because she would eat a lot of unhealthy foods.

She decided that enough is enough when her doctor advised her to lose weight when she began having knee problems. Over the past three years, Boyce worked out three hours a day and simply ate healthy foods. She says if she hadn't lost the weight then she never would be able to help others by telling them that they can lose weight the same way she did.

Boyce also said that she keeps an old pair of pants from when she was size 18 to remind her that she never wants to go back to 234 pounds. Now 22 years old, she is healthy, gorgeous, happy, and a great role model for all girls and women. She is living her dream.

She hopes that she is helping others to reach their dreams and for them to know, even if they are overweight, if they have the will power to change then they can.

I wanted to share this story because I am truly inspired by Bree Boyce. It is so difficult to lose a few pounds, let alone 110. Although it took her three years to lose all of this weight, she demonstrated her perseverance. She also exhibited this buy winning the Miss South Carolina pageant. Not only do I believe that she will help girls and women lose weight, but she is also helping them reach for their dreams.
