How reader Nancy Schuessler found the motivation to lose more than 200 pounds
I've always struggled with my weight. By the time I was 28, I weighed nearly 400 pounds, and I felt that if I tried to have kids I'd be jeopardizing not just my life, but the life of the child I was carrying. I saw Dr. Oz on Oprah talking about his health philosophy, so I started exercising daily and cut out trans fats, saturated fats, refined sugar, high-fructose corn syrup and bleached flour. If something contained one of those, I automatically wouldn't eat itand amazingly, the pounds started falling off. Two years later, I had lost 220 pounds with no medical intervention. In November 2009, I appeared on The Dr. Oz Show to talk about my decision to lose weight so that I could have children. At the end of the show, I surprised the audience by having my son, Benaiah, walk out onto the stage!
