Thanks to Rob for sending in his success story. He has lost 80 pounds and at least 10 inches off his waist and no longer has a 'beer belly'.


Hi Isadora:

I found your blog and wanted to add my story to it.

Growing up in high school I was a track athlete. In college I walked on the football team for a semester. I had always considered myself an athlete. Until I was in my 30's, I was active by playing basketball with friends. Around my late 30's early 40's, I reached the point however where I "let myself go" weight-wise.

I am just under 5 ft 11 inches tall and I weighed around 270 pounds when I was at my heaviest. I call that my "Sumo" weight because I took a picture in Japan in between 2 Sumo wrestlers when I was at that weight!

I lost a total of 80 pounds in 3 phases. I initially lost 30 pounds in 4 months without dieting (no pills, no drinks, no calorie counting, no surgeries, no injections, no "guru" diets, etc.) and without exercise. That prepared my body to lose the rest of the weight through exercise which are the other 2 Phases that I discuss on my blog (along with Phase #1) at My Sumo Weight Loss.

Recently, I read #13 of one of Dr. Oz's greatest health tips: lose the beer belly. I never drank alcohol, but I had a belly as you can see in the Sumo Wrestler picture. According to the tip, I measured my belly, which should be less than half my height or around 35.5 inches.

In the Sumo Wrestler picture, I was wearing size 44 pants. With the hanging stomach, the measurement is obviously over 44 inches.

I'm about to turn 50 years old, and now I'm a Master's Track athlete. As shown in the picture, the "belly button" measurement is about 34.5 inches. That's at least 10 inches, gone! No wonder people who haven't seen me in a long time remark that "half of me has disappeared!"

My hope is that people can read my blog, see what I did, and hopefully get similar results!

To a Healthy Lifestyle:

Rob Chambers
