55 lbs lost
Gary, 70, from Richland, Washington, was diagnosed with severe lung disease after months of illness and suffering. At one point, Gary didn’t know how much longer he had to live. Thankfully after getting the correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment for his disease, he was on the road to better health. His weight, however, was still a serious risk to his health, and he needed to do something about it.
I decided that being obese wasn’t an option for me and began to focus on getting my weight down one pound at a time. My wife has been my #1 supporter through my medical ordeals and embarked on her own weight-loss journey. One emotional moment was when I finally hit the scale at under 200 pounds.” – Gary
After taking a realistic look at his BMI and lifestyle, Gary adopted healthier eating habits and started exercising. Tracking his food daily with Lose It!, he soon realized he didn’t need all the excess calories he was taking in. The weight came off, one pound at a time, and with focus and discipline, he has reached his goal weight.
The lighter I get, the better I feel. Exercising has become easier too; I’ve learned that it’s ok to take it one step at a time and increase the amount and duration gradually.” – Gary
