“Follow a 47 year old letter carrier (who drives a truck all day) as he loses 50 pounds in 6 months, by eating a healthy, well balanced diet, and moderately increasing his activity and learn how you can lose weight too!”

Almost everyone is looking for a secret pill or formula that will help them to lose and maintain a healthy body weight.  I know I was. I have tried dozens of diets, pills, and weight loss programs.  While I temporarily lost some weight with many of them, they were impossible to stick with, and I gained the weight right back. They were not sustainable. But now I have finally discovered the “secret” to effective and lasting weight loss – which is really no secret at all!  Lean forward, and I’ll whisper it to you:

“The secret to losing weight is to make better food choices, increase your activity level, and make this not a temporary diet, but a new lifestyle!”

Yes, it is true! That’s all there is to it. And believe it or not, you can do this without feeling hungry all the time or deprived, and in fact, you can even eat your favorite foods – in moderation.  I started this blog so that you can follow me as I do this and watch me lose 50 pounds over the next 6 months.  I know this will work, because I have done it before. But yes, last time I got off track.  I’ll tell you about that too and what I learned from my mistake so that it will not happen again.

My name is Dan.  I am a letter carrier in suburban Milwaukee.  The delivery routes in my town all have curbside boxes, so I don’t get much exercise at work.  I sit in a truck most of the day.  This, and poor eating habits, resulted in me being about 75 pounds overweight.  But I have now learned how to lose weight and how to keep it off without fad diets or starving myself.

I call this blog “Dan’s Weight Loss Plan”, but it really is not my plan at all.  It is one of the most popular weight loss programs in the world. I have my own way of easing myself into the program, but millions of people have successfully lost weight on this program and have kept it off.  It is called Weight Watchers®.  It is by far the healthiest and most sustainable program I have found.  Follow me on my blog and watch me on my journey to my goal of losing 50 pounds in 6 months.
