Formerly Obese Women Share Weight Loss Journeys

Sherrie Zonfrillo, once 358 pounds, lost 225 pounds and maintains the weight loss for over a year. Carol Lindberg shed 125 pounds, regains ease in dining out and returning to college. Nancy Beausoleil dropped 173 pounds, competing in weightlifting and marathons. Health experts stress gradual goals, ongoing lifestyle changes, and varied methods.

Tips to Help Couch Potatoes Get Moving

Dr. Vincent Pera of Miriam Hospital in Providence offers ten tips for overweight or sedentary people to start an exercise program. Start small, consult a doctor, view weight loss as a lifestyle change, find a workout buddy, focus on health and fun, wear proper shoes, begin with walking, try a recumbent or stationary bike, and consider swimming. The piece cites Weight Watchers programs and family engagement, noting costs, ongoing support, and success stories including Lindberg, Mark, and Beausoleil as examples of long term accountability and progress.
