I lost 100 pounds on the plan back in 2002-3 and kept if off for about 3 years, but as my husband was not with me on it, eventually, I gained it all back. This past year, he had reached and all time high for his weight and was determined to lose it, so he went on the McDougall Plan, remembering my success and has lost 45 pounds and looks great! He is also a physician and many of his patients have noticed his weight loss and he now tells them how to do it right! Last night, he was telling me about a lady he had seen and recommended the plan to her and she saw him again yesterday and told him how her problems are all going away after adopting a low fat vegan diet and her son, who had terrible acne, who is also now on the plan, has seen his skin clear up!
As for me, with my husband back on board, I have lost nearly 23 pounds again since late August and am fully confident, that I will lose the rest I need to lose. I am a lot older than when I had lost the weight before and it was starting to take it's toll on my body, primarily in a structural way. My KNEES!!!!! I can't say they are all better, because I still have over 60 pounds to lose, but I am definitely beginning to see an improvement and overall, I am feeling better and better! I plan to post again in about a year, with the happy news that I am once again a normal weight and doing all of the things I love to do again, with strong healthy knees!
