    Associated Press

    June 20, 2008

    QUINTON, Va. - A Virginia man lost about 80 pounds in six months by eating nearly every meal at McDonald's. Not Big Macs, french fries and chocolate shakes. Mostly salads, wraps and apple dippers without the caramel sauce.

    Chris Coleson tipped the scales at 278 pounds in December. The 5-foot-8 Coleson now weighs 199 pounds and his waist size has dropped from 50 to 36.

    The 42-year-old businessman from Quinton says he chose McDonald's because it's convenient.

    His inspiration came from his two children and from the story of a blind war veteran who rode a tandem bicycle cross-country.

    Coleson says his goal is to get back to the 185 pounds he weighed when he married Tricia Summer. Their 10th anniversary is Saturday.

    First you pig out on the dollar menu.

    Then you barf it up.

    Over time, you lose weight [​IMG]

    I have the unhealthiest diet on the planet and I am skinny. In an average day, I consume two donuts for breakfast, and two meals from fast food joints for lunch and dinner. And by meals, I mean a value meal plus two other items off the dollar menu. I have had this exact diet for at least 5 years now and I am just about as healthy as one can get right now. I did recently start to get a little bit of a gut, so I have cut down to one fast food meal a day like 2 weeks ago. I already lost about 10 lbs and my gut is starting to disappear.

    ^^^ That will change, my friend. I used to be 135 lbs and could eat all I want (and did). A couple of times my metabolism changed and I gained weight by about 20 lbs each time, as I got older.

    I know, and that is going to suck. When did your metabolism start changing?

    3 times, at least, since I turned 30. It's gotten to the point where I have to really watch what I eat or I end up 30 lbs overweight without trying hard [​IMG]

    I used to be chubby when I was in middle school, so I thankfully know what kind of things to eat/consume.

    I barely touch Soda, not even the Diet stuff. It's mostly just ice water for me.

    About fast food, I eat there maybe once every two or three weeks, whenever I'm at work, and get hungry because I didn't eat earlier, or something like that. I also stay away from sodas. Just water and beer for me. [​IMG]
