Hi guys,

I'm looking for anyone interested in submitting a weight loss or fitness success story for my new website that will be at weightloss-success-stories.net. You could have lost anything from 5lbs or more. Since I'm looking to lose 70+ pounds, I haven't been able to find any websites dedicated with *REAL* weight loss success stories.

Send me a message on here if you're interested and I can send you the info I'm looking for.

Lisa

    Lisa: I have lost about 65lbs. over the last 7 years. I did it slowly and incrementally with a long term perspective. I was 30 and am now 37 years old. Weighed about 235lbs with about a 40 inch waist and am now about 171lbs with about 11% body fat and I wear a 31 inch waist jean. In the last year I really started working out with weights and have gained about 20lbs lean muscle mass so I've leaned up quite a bit.

    I believe that slow incremental changes are the key to long term weight loss. If I were working with a person who needed to lose 70lbs I would recommend that instead of hitting the gym or doing P90X that they just start walking for about 30 minutes a day. A person who is 70lbs. overweight is not in the shape to go too extreme and they are not prepared for it. They also go too extreme with their diet at first. I would recommend that they not over do it at first and not "over shock" their body because it will rebel and revert back. If you want long term weight loss I would recommend incremental lifestyles changes because too much change is often too hard to handle.

    If you want pictures I think I can probably find some to send to you.

    The sudden death of my wife of 37 years prompted me into a study of diet, nutrition, and health. I've lost 145 pounds in the past 21 months. I tell my story on my blog. Feel free to use my story.
    It's all about helping others lose weight.
