This is me at my heaviest in 2006. I weighed slightly over 200 lbs. I didn't have a good concept of how to lose weight and though I actually exercised quite a bit, my poor eating habits inhibited me from the weight loss goals I had been trying to achieve for most of my adult life.
I had to change my mindset and I had to be dedicated to an entire lifestyle of healthy living that had eluded me. I had done crash diets of all types for several years that had left me heavier each time I quit them. I came face to face with losing my career over my weight issues. I am in the United States Navy, and they have strict body fat and weight standards that I was not meeting. A co-worker and friend of mine recommended Eat to Live. I was skeptical because I didn't want a quick fix. I needed something that would work for the long haul. I read the book, started following the directions, exercised, and watched the weight drop off.
It is now 2010, and I weigh 150 lbs. as of today. I have lofty goals to continue losing weight, and to reach my body's ideal goal weight. I know that with the same dedication, I can achieve the goals that I have.
