Steve Galette, 19, Gainesville Florida, Student at the University of Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n

How much weight have you lost?<\/strong> 60-70 lbs<\/p>\n

How did you lose it?<\/strong> Initially, I lost the bulk of my fat by adhering to a strict low-carbohydrate regimen with hardly any exercise. But, in the past few months I\u2019ve become a frequent gym goer.<\/p>\n

What prompted your weight loss?<\/strong> In all honesty, I\u2019ve always wanted to lose weight but never knew where or how to begin. Arriving to college provided me with the access to the resources necessary to begin my weight loss journey and the newly acquired freedom to choose what I do and what I eat enabled me to be able devise a diet plan without the concern of my parents or siblings.<\/p>\n

How long did it take?<\/strong> It took over a year.<\/p>\n

What was the hardest part?<\/strong> The hardest part was accustoming to the new diet.<\/p>\n

Most fun part of your weight loss?<\/strong> I would say the most fun part of my weight loss has been the journey itself; reflecting on how about a year I was highly inactive but now am a frequent and avid gym-goer is a pretty good feeling.<\/p>\n

Most rewarding experience?<\/strong> The most rewarding experience has been the look of shock on friend and family\u2019s faces.<\/p>\n

Who\/what inspires you when you feel like quitting?<\/strong> The number on the scale or my reflection in the mirror \u2013 be it good or bad \u2013 is what inspires to persevere when I feel like quitting.<\/p>\n

How has this weight loss changed you life?<\/strong> This weight loss has caused me to adopt healthier lifestyle habits.<\/p>\n

Have any advice for others who\u2019d like to lose weight?<\/strong> Don\u2019t be sidetracked by the naysayers and those who ridicule you. Persevere, set short-term goals and long-term goals, and you will see results.<\/p>\n

Your must-have fitness equipment:<\/strong> Vibrams running shoes.<\/p>\n

Favorite training song<\/strong>: Jogging- Yelle<\/p>\n

Favorite healthy food:<\/strong> Broccoli<\/p>\n

Favorite not-so-healthy food:<\/strong> Tres leches<\/p>\n

Funniest thing that’s happened surrounding your weight loss:<\/strong> The first I\u2019d seen my family in a few months, they all thought that I\u2019d lost weight from too much studying or lack of food.<\/span><\/p>\n

Congrats, Steve! Keep beating the scale and staying in shape!<\/strong><\/p>\n
