Jonathan’s Weight Loss Story!
When did you become unhappy with your weight?
When I returned from my trip to Canada, I felt that I was on top of the world. When I printed my photos, I guess what I thought or felt about myself didn’t match the pictures, so I decided to change that.
What made you decide to lose weight?
It’s been a constant struggle throughout my life. I’ve always been known as the fat kid. One day I just woke up and thought that I deserved to feel good about myself.
What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
My vacation photos from 2003 were the cause of the lifestyle change.
What was most challenging about losing weight?
It was motivating myself to do this for me. There were many times when I wanted to quit, but I keep asking myself, “do you want to be fat forever?”
How long did it take you to start to see results?
2 months.
How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
2 years.
How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?

Set realistic goals. Don’t overdo it by planning to workout everyday.
Weight loss tip #3:
Food plays a major role in weight loss. Eat enough so you’re not hungry.
