Lose Weight Stories

Then answer "Did you try to lose weight?", at the end of every month I choose the best story (or 2 of the best) and give them 2 free DVDs with 8 exercise videos ($40 worth). I will even pay shipping to you. Your explanation has to be very detailed, short submissions will not be accepted.

Helpful questions:
- What is your weight, height, age, gender?
- How much weight you want to lose?
- What you did to lose weight - diet, exercise, doctor etc?
- If you followed a diet, what was the diet, was it difficult?
- Did you try exercises to lose weight, what exercises - strength or fitness etc?
