How to Lose Weight Succesfully (Real Examples)
December 19, 2009
Two examples below
Cathryn was a chubby child and grew up to be fat. When she was 22 years old, she was 5’7” and weighed 220 pounds. Seven years ago she was obese, unemployed and living with her family. Finally one day, she decided she would lose weight and went for a walk. Then she stated walking daily and eating less. She also started first running and then jogging. She lost 60 pounds.
She stayed at 160 pounds for four years and then cardio kickboxing and started an eating plan. In five months she lost a further 30 pounds. She says that anyone can lose weight ‘by understanding what you eat, being active, and some good ol’ fashion discipline and will power, you can do it! Hey, it sounds like a lot, but it’s not rocket science! Just start walking.’
‘I’ve gotten my bachelor’s degree, hiked the entire south rim of the Grand Canyon in a day (20 miles), and become a part time aerobics instructor!’
Jimmy lives in Spartanburg, SC and lost a whopping 180 pounds. When he was a substitute teacher he heard a child commenting on his fatness and he decided to do something about it. He was already on prescription drugs for high blood pressure, breathlessness and cholesterol.
He started a low-carb diet and also exercised. He lost 30 pounds in the first month and 40 months the next. It took him a whole year to lose 180 pounds. About how he feels, he says, ‘Let’s just say the quality of life is better than it has ever been and I am the healthiest I have been in my entire life! I’m completely off all prescription drugs and life is so much more meaningful to me now. I wrote a book about my experience called “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb” and maintain a popular weight loss blog at LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com where I seek to educate and encourage others who need to do something about their weight.’
