Weight Loss Success Story From a 23 year Old Guy

"I made the decision to finally lose weight about 1 year ago after I was worried about all the health issues related to being overweight and I wanted to be more physically active. I had tried a variety of different diets before which failed because I would revert back to my old habits. I knew I had to take control of my life.

I started out slowly, trying to eliminate fast food and soda and exercising more. It was tough the first few months with all the stress and work from school, but I made progress. During the summer, I had a lot more time and I was able to devote myself more to my weight loss. In July, I heard about PEERtrainer while watching TV, and I thought I would give it a try because it seemed like a good site.

I've lost 85 lbs total with 51 of those lbs through the help of PEERtrainer. I am only a couple lbs away from my goal weight and I know I will get there soon. I would never have thought I would have made this much progress in a year. I feel 10 times better then I did a year ago.

Using PEERtrainer has really helped because of the added accountability and support I received from other members. I finally realized that I needed to make more lifestyle changes to be more successful at managing my weight. Daily logging really helped me see what/when I was eating and it helped focus on healthier eating choices.

Thank you PEERtrainer and all of its members for helping in my weight loss journey.

For anyone thinking about joining, I would strongly suggest you do. Start right away and be active in your groups, we are all here for the same reason, to lose weight."
