Lose to Win Success Stories:

"Last Class"
Pat O. - December 12, 2011

Thank you Michelle and you - all the class, for the information, the honesty, and the encouragement.

I've never told anyone this before, but 21 years ago I was extremely obese, weighed 317 pounds.  For the 15 years before that, I had been working two jobs (sometimes 3), raising my children on my own, and over-indulging in anything I could get my hands on - it kept me going.

When I finally decided to make a change, I started walking around my block - at about 5:30am, so that no one would see me.  I didn't even have sneakers - I wore sandals.  My girls told me to buy sneakers.  I had previously hated to shop for shoes and clothes.  Well, I bought sneakers.  And I discovered a nearby college had lights on their track at night, so I started walking that as well. And, or course, I started eating better food.

After one year I lost about 80 pounds.  Since then I have learned more about nutrition and exercise, and have lost more.  I do tend to have weak times when I gain up to 20 pounds. That scares me to think I may go back to my old ways, but then I find a group like you.  Well, today I weigh 172 (a total loss of 145 pounds), I feel good, and I thank you all.

And, guess what? Now I sort of enjoy shopping for clothes!
