Quick Weight Loss Center

Hi my name is Steve Cipparito and I would like to share with you my weight loss success story.  Before I dive into my personal story, I want you to know that I am not a doctor or a nutritionist.  I am your average "Joe".  Most of what I learned was from reading books about weight loss, talking to people that lost weight, watching TV and doing research on internet web sites for weight loss programs.  I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I am very happy with the end result and my life has changed drastically for the better.

I was not an overweight child for the first eight years of my life.  I was actually pretty skinny, but this all changed when I went to a local day camp at the age of nine.  That summer I was known for being able to "out-eat" anybody.  This included almost eating a pie of pizza by myself.  For a nine year old, this was no small feat.  I would eat donuts, cookies, ice cream and anything I could get my hands one.  By the time the summer was over I could no longer fit into my clothes anymore.  I entered school that fall as a different kid.  Some of my friends didn't recognize me.  I gained over 25 pounds.

Not much changed for me over the next several years.  My eating habits only grew.  I tried a few weight loss diets, but drinking chocolate shakes was not what I considered a "meal".  My parents were going to send me to weight loss camp, but I refused to go.  More of anything, I was afraid I would starve there.  My mom said it is a "healthy weight loss" program.  I would have nothing of it.

In high school, I was 5'11 and weighed close to 250 pounds. I was a good student, but had trouble dating and was often picked on by older kids.  Luckily my sense of humor was what kept me going along with my friends business I helped him with.
