50 Million Pound Challenge
Feature Challengers: Dennis James

I have been battling my weight for most of my adult life. About 10 years ago I had reached 337 pounds and at that point I realized I needed to make a change in my life. With cutting my portion sizes in half and lots of exercise I got my weight done to 262 pounds. After several changes in my life including marrying the most wonderful women in the world and relocating to Columbia, South Carolina, by July of 2007 my weight had gotten back up to about 294 lbs.
It was at this point I just got sick and tired of the weight, so I decided to make a change in my life. This was when my wife and I went out and purchase the Dr. Ian book "The Fat Smash Diet". After my wife and I read the book, we both decided to follow the program in the book. In addition, I decided to join the 50 Million Challenge and I set a goal weight of 250 lbs. I continued to workout at my local fitness center increasing my workout days to 6-7 days without using a personal trainer. Since following the plan in the book, I am at a weight of 194 lbs. I never dreamed that I be this size. I use to wear a 46 pants size, but today I am wearing a 36 size. I am thankful for the support of my wife, making sure that I have healthy meals and snacks, and being my cheerleader. I am also thankful to Dr. Ian's book because it changed my life. Through this entire journey, I give God all the Glory and Praise because he gave me the strength to loss the weight. As you can see from the pictures that I have attached this was a complete life changing experience for me.
