Determined To Succeed

My Weight Loss Story

Bill Ivory Larson Circa 2003ishMy name is Bill Ivory Larson and I lost a total of 175lbs., without surgery, special diet or doctor’s help. Nothing. When I moved from Chicago to the Philadelphia area in 2005 I weighed 400.6 pounds which was my heaviest (at least I think that was my heaviest – it could have been more). I also had health problems creeping in that no one in their mid-30s should have: high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joints hurting, fatigue just to name a few. Combined with a family history of diabetes I knew that carrying that weight would one day kill me. Since then, thanks to a good old-fashioned desire to live well into my 40s and beyond and being DETRMINED TO SUCCEED, I trimmed myself down to a much healthier 225 lbs, all the while eating what I’ve wanted, controlling my portions and exercising.
