Reader Success Story: Ron Lost 70 Pounds


Like a lot of people, Ron spent much of his life overweight and, consequently, thought that was his fate. At his highest weight of 250 pounds, however, something changed his mind. He bought a fitness magazine and, as he says, "I read articles of real people who shared their experiences of how they lost their bulges and pounds and I said to myself, "If they can do it, why can't I"?" Ron decided he needed to be more active and started playing badminton several times a week. His weight loss was disappointing at first, but, after some trial and error and some help from a trainer, he got down to a svelte 180 pounds. Ron's story proves that anyone can find success, even after a lifetime of weight problems. Read more about Ron's inspirational story and share your story, if you've got one.
