Back from Obesity: My 252-pound Weight-loss Journey

by Jan Bono

Overview

I was 45 years old and weighed 396 pounds. That is not a typo. Then I turned my life around and lost 252 pounds without gastric bypass, lap band surgery, liquid fasting, diet pills or extreme exercise. I am now 60, and my weight is 144. This is my journey from life-threatening morbid obesity down to a healthy weight, back up through another decade of demoralizing 100-pound relapse, to eventual "right size" weight maintenance. Let me inspire you with my personal story of experience, strength, and hope. Learn the tips, tricks, and tools I used, one day at a time. If I can do it, you can too.
