100 POUNDS and 54.75 INCHES LOST!

What brought me to inches was supporting a close friend with a dream she had to be in the military. She wanted me to come and support her on her weigh in.

I had accepted my obesity. I thought it was too hard to change I had been this way a long time, fifteen years. My father had battled cancer for many years now and was losing his battle. A week before his death he approached the subject of my weight. He told me that he was going to miss me so much but his biggest fear was that he would see me again too soon. For the first time I admitted to myself I had to make a change, besides he made me promise. He passed on November 26, 2007.

With a promise on heart and goal I could not obtain on my own I weighed in on January 10, 2008 at 292.5 lbs. My waist was 49", hips 58"and chest 51.5". Inches gave me recipes, a meal plan that had me eating six times a day with at lease eight cups of water goal. I definitely was not hungry! The first week I lost 9.5 lbs unreal!

The support of the inches team is second to none. Whether it is advice on weigh in their easy to use logbook which has all your free foods listed, the website or the delicious recipes, even my kids eat it! Their plan works! They tell you what to order, even in McDonalds, when you can't eat at home. They email with helpful hits and are easy to contact when you need a little extra help. These are just a few ways they help.

My life style coach Naomi has also introduced me to kickboxing, marathon running to which I have completed a 5 km and a ten km. Inches has given me the confidence to say I CAN I WILL! Now I weigh in at 192 lbs and have measurements of 33" waist, 42" hip and 39" bust

Eight weeks later, I reached my goal weight of 135. It is now 7 months later and my weight remains between 133 and 135. I have lost 21.5 inches and wear a size 5.

	Beverly Losing weight, hmmm, where do I begin.well let's start at the beginning! My struggle with weight started in my early 20's. I was in extreme denial that I even had a weight problem until one day after Christmas, when I was looking at some pictures and I didn't know who the fat girl was in one of the photos, until I looked real close and realized it was me!!! That started the journey.

	Margaret Inches Weight-Loss, what can I say about this diet. First thing, it is not a diet. Inches encourages you and puts you on the road to healthy eating. All the meals are well proportioned, if anything there is more than you want to eat.

	Danyel In a time long, long ago, in a land far, far away, I was thin. But then I hit my twenties and it went downhill from there. I was the type of person who avoided exercise like the plague and my food groups were fat, chocolate, salt, and sugar.

	Margot I've always had a weight problem. Over the years, I've watched my jean size go from an 8 to a 12, and my scale weight rise from 133 lbs to 158 lbs. I am 5"1, so this weight range is very unhealthy for a woman of my stature.

	Glen Dunlop I had been going to Andy Young's Muay Thai class for a few weeks and walked past the Inches office three times a week. The reason I had joined the club in the first place was I had pretty much hit rock bottom fitness-wise. I had always struggled with fitness and was the poster-boy for the "roller-coaster" that most people who have struggled with it will understand.

	Deborah Savage Thanks to Inches Weight Loss fitness bootcamps for getting and keeping me off my "fence"! We've all been there and so many people still are when it comes to self improvement. Sitting atop our self-made "fences" daydreaming of how in-shape we once were and where we should be or could be, if only the fence top wasn't so easy to stay on.
