Weight Loss Success Stories

The runaway excess-weight epidemic is one of this country’s most pressing public health issues, affecting 66% of all Americans. We explored several aspects of this topic in our June 2009 issue, including an article on how obesity affects the body and an interview with actor and bodybuilder Roland Kickinger, who provides whole-body makeovers for a wide range of clients.

Despite the grim statistics, many people have successfully lost weight—and, just as importantly, kept it off. Are you one of those diet success stories and if so, how did you do it? Let us and your fellow ET readers in on your secret!

  1. Food and exercise has a lot to do with your health.Safeway reduced its health costs from 1 billion$/year by 40% by providing incentives for quitting smoking,losing 20 lbs.etc.
    Any one with high sugar can lower that by 20 to 40--by doing tradmill for 20 minutes/day.
    Before you take diet pills--try consulting your doctor --as this can affect your Digestive Health.Deficiency of anything in your blood can cause serious problems.By the way,if you have blood in your stool or heartburn or stomach ache that persists--call a Gastroenterologist right away.
    Also,watch out for long travels in car or planes-restricted movement can cause "Blood Clot"that can cause heart attack or stroke or death.

  2. I did the laser to quit smoking and it targets your pressure points and keeps from turning your smoking addiction to food.

  3. surround yourself with thin people... heavy people encourage you to over eat. thin people also are generally more active, have past times that are physically engaging rather than passive.
