Traffic Ticket Inspires Weight Loss

jenbusick

This woman in South Carolina was ticketed for not wearing a seat belt -- but she couldn't wear it because she was over 400 pounds. The ticket inspired her to lose 200 pounds, and she's still working on it.

Yes, Greg Proops is annoying but I enjoyed her success story.

She's beautiful. And she's doing it with no surgery and no pills!

And you're right, that anchor is the most annoying thing I've ever heard.

MooMooooo

I absolutely LOVE this story!

Thanks for posting!

I just saw this on yahoo. But the sad thing is she did not say what she was doing in the segment I saw.

Wow, I turned it off after 10 seconds. Hahaha Greg, what the hell are you doing with your life? He was pretty damn funny on Whose Line back in the day!

That is too funny. But it's a lot like it happened for me only from a different perspective. I work as a deputy sheriff and three years ago we were taking someone to jail and he kept calling me a fat *kitten* from the back of the patrol car on the way and during the booking process. The sad part is that it was true. That was the last straw for me! That was just 3 years ago. LOL I bet the guy as no clue he was the straw that broke the camels back!

LOL "A criminal inspired me to lose weight!" That's a great story, too!

Aww, yay! I'm so glad her story is getting around - people here in SC weren't as impressed, unfortunately. She's a great inspiration!!

I agree--that guy is totally annoying! I love hearing stories about "What made me change". It validates everything I went through too!

That's a great story and I remember cutting a seat belt from the shoulder part and only wearing it on my lap because I was too big to fit it round my belly.

It's great that she didn't know you can purchase seat belt extenders. I bought one a while back because I had trouble buckling the belt when a passenger in hubbys' truck, Don't need it now, but sure was nice at the time.
