Name: John McCarthy Age: 35 Height: 6'1" Before Weight: 311 pounds
How I Gained It: I was often encouraged to "put some meat on those bones" as a teenager. After getting married, having a child and beginning a career in a sedentary role, the weight just sort of snuck up on me gradually over the past 10 years.
I did lose weight one other time. In February of 2009, I weighed 300 pounds. I lost 80 pounds by June of that year. But by February 2010 I was 269 pounds again, and gradually gained it all back, and more.
I'd start every weekday at Dunkin' Donuts, and get two donuts and a large iced coffee with cream and sugar. Sometimes I'd have no lunch at all, and I'd have fast food at least three times a week. I also drank a lot of soda, maybe as much as an entire two-liter bottle, plus two or three 20-ounce bottles a day.
I was consistently tired, I couldn't do the things I wanted to do with my son and I felt old. My doctor told me I had high blood pressure and was likely going to have an issue with diabetes if I continued on the path I was on. Otherwise, I was in good health; the doctor told me I needed to lose some weight and take care of myself before that luck ran out.
Breaking Point: On Memorial Day weekend I made the choice to lose the weight to be a better example to my son. In June, I joined a gym and changed my diet forever. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired, and I knew I was too young to feel that old. Clearly I was setting a bad example with my poor eating habits and lack of activity. I was tired of watching. I knew my son would remember I was always there to support his athletics or to take him places, but it wasn't enough. I wanted to get out there and play with him, run, hike and join him.
How I Lost It: With no trainer, nutritionist or fad diets, I've lost 130 pounds using tried and true methods. I eat from the farm not the factory, I drink at least eight glasses of water a day, I get eight hours of sleep a night and I walk a lot.
I have always been a walker -- I enjoy it. When I made the choice to lose the weight, the first thing I did was go for a walk. I walked three miles that day, and I was exhausted. Now I walk four or more miles, three to five times a week, and on the weekends seven to 10 miles a day.
By September, just 87 days later, I'd lost 81 pounds! Today, I've lost 130 pounds, and I'm keeping it off! I haven't gained back any of the weight I've lost. I started 2012 in the best health of my life. My doctor has praised me for my health and said I'm no longer at risk for preventable issues. I was lucky to have a doctor who didn't prescribe a "magic" pill to fix my health issues. He was certain that a good diet and exercise would put me on track, and he was right. I feel great today.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) - Jay Bruce hopes a weight loss will help him get through a long season. The Cincinnati Reds hope it will make him a heavy hitter.
Bruce and Miguel Cairo hit RBI singles and the Reds beat a split squad of Los Angeles Angels 5-4 Sunday.
Bruce came into camp 16 pounds lighter than he ended last year. He has hit safely in all five of his spring appearances.
"He's swinging good," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "He's quick. He's going to have to learn to wait (on the ball). He can wait a lot longer now. Anytime you gain weight or lose weight there's always a period of adjustment.
Bruce was listed at 225 pounds last season but dropped to 209.
"I wanted to be a little quicker in the field and on the bases," Bruce said. "Sixteen pounds off will make it easier on my knees over 162 games."
Cairo, the veteran utility player who filled in for third baseman Scott Rolen most of last season, is hitting .417 in exhibition play.
Mat Latos pitched three innings for the Reds. He allowed a two-run homer to minor leaguer Alexi Amarista.
"It was fine today," Latos said. "I just want to continue to work on throwing strikes."
The Reds traded four players to San Diego for Latos, hoping that he could give them enough innings to take the pressure off the bullpen that was overworked last season. Both Latos and the team are pleased with the results so far.

NEW YORK (AP) Companies that provide weight-loss products and services are poised to capitalize on growing concerns over obesity, an analyst said Friday as he initiated coverage of Herbalife Ltd. and Weight Watchers International Inc.
Brian Wang of Barclays Capital said in a client note that about 70 percent of the U.S. population is overweight, while the rest of the world is at 25 percent and climbing. With so many people affected by obesity, weight-loss companies have growing potential markets.
Wang, who started both Herbalife and Weight Watchers with "Overweight" ratings, said that the companies' current stock prices don't reflect their full potential. The rating indicates Barclays expects the stocks to outperform.
Herbalife, a nutrition and weight loss company, has benefited from transitioning from selling bulk products infrequently to selling individual servings for a nominal fee on a daily basis, Wang said.
"This has expanded the number of people who can afford its products, increased distributor retention and engagement and driven very strong financial results for the past several years," the analyst wrote.
Wang added that Herbalife's more than 80 markets don't appear to be fully saturated yet, "so we believe it can achieve strong growth for many more years."
Herbalife's stock climbed $3.18, or almost 5 percent percent, to $70.06 in afternoon trading, approaching its 52-week high of $70.35.
Wang said Weight Watchers should be able to grow its business for at least the next several years through such initiatives as international expansion, building up its online business, advertising to men for the first time, developing new products and remodeling and relocating stores.
Shares of Weight Watchers, which is based in New York, added $1.73, or 2.2 percent to $79.42.

Diet Doc HCG Diet announces new diet doctor managed forum for those on the diet HCG
Seatte, WA (PRWEB) March 10, 2012
Diet Doc is the only modern-day weight loss program in the USA providing medically, supervised weight loss to people nationwide. Diet Doc is a comprehensive, weight loss program which personalizes a diet specific to each persons health history, gender, age and lifestyle. This is how Diet Doc is able to shave 7 pounds per week (on average) reports Julie Wright, president of Diet Doc.
HCG dieters often resort to the Internet for answers to common diet questions. The problem is the Diet Doc HCG Diet protocol, or the individualized diet the weight loss doctors create for each person is not on the Internet. This is why the Diet Doc HCG Diet Forum and Blog is helpful for dieters.
Four years ago, a team of physicians offering the outdated, 1950 Dr. A.T.W. Simeon's HCG diet protocol discovered that muscle loss was occurring in people consuming 500 calories per day. They discovered this when people were analyzed with a body impedance analysis machine that only doctors can buy and use to as a test to analyze cellular health and muscle loss. It was this point, the diet doctors set out to modernize the original, prescription HCG diet.
The Diet Doctors found that it isn't necessary to consume so few calories (500/day). By adding weight loss products, such as weight loss shakes, weight loss oil (used to make salad dressing and cooking), they were able to increase calories substantially, but still realized 7 pounds of weight loss on average per person.
Diet Doc HCG Diet & Weight Loss is often asked for their expert commentary on celebrity weight loss. Refer to Star Magazine, Kim Kardashian published 3/5/2012.
