hi everyone. my weight loss success!!!

Postby Timpler » Tue Feb 18, 2014 9:46 pm

hello everyone, my name is Terry Yarbrough ive been fat all my life. except for short times when i would lose 30 pounds or so from this or that fad diet, then i would gain it back. i had just excepted the fact that i was destined to be fat. i went through a divorce and i guess i went through some sort of depression or something because i lost my will to eat. i just didnt care for food. i lost from 275 down to 165. i thought i had found some sort of secret to self control. lol. all was well till one day i binged. i ate a hole pack of cookies. my response was to restrict calories more severally. i went 3 days and binged again. i went on like this for 4 years gradually gaining back up to 220. i felt powerless to keep the weight off. this all ended christmas of 2012. my girlfriend gave me the starch solution for christmas. i read it and went on the diet. im now back down to 180 and still losing. i went on the mwl program 2 weeks ago and im losing 5 pounds a week. i just wanted to express my gratitude to dr mcdougal for saving my life. i want to become a nutritionist and help others. thanks.

Congrats Terry! Thanks for sharing and continued long-term success. I think it is great you "want to become a nutritionist and help others"...
On 7/8/2013, I decided to change my diet to a "mostly" WFPB diet. I have always been somewhat lean and muscular due to being a lifelong exerciser. Change in diet due to feeling crummy all the time despite a healthy outward appearance. Image
