I did it all in a year without surgery or pills, and have maintained it for four months.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Losing weight is a funny thing. At 420 pounds, people advised me on so many diets.

If they did not, they would not be successful.<\/p>\n<p>Diets are like snowflakes as well, two people have never lost weight the exact same way.<\/p>\n<p>What losing weight takes is heart!<\/p>\n<p>I recently came up with a very simple challenge called \u201cThe Missouri 60.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One day at work my boss came up to me and was pointing out a lot of things I need to fix. The stoves needed detailing, the server\u2019s shirts needed to be pressed, etc. Before I was going to explain, he glared at me and said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey Tony, I do not want to hear it. Just do it. See, I am from Missouri. Get it! Missouri. Show me baby!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I finally realized Missouri is the \u201cShow Me\u201d state.<\/p>\n<p>After fixing all of the issues, I thought about my weight loss. I did not lose the weight on a special top-secret diet that will make me millions. I lost the weight by finding a plan that worked and doing it.<\/p>\n<p>So here are the rules for my challenge. Get a huge pad of paper and a pen with a lot of ink! Ready.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a picture of yourself<\/li>\n<li>For the next 60 days, learn about yourself and show yourself how great you can be.<\/li>\n<li>After 60 days, take another picture and compare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sounds silly, right? Well, most people hate taking pictures of themselves, and most people cannot dedicate themselves for 60 days.<\/p>\n<p>I can tell you, if you can do this, you will be a better person. You will have more confidence, you will make better decisions, and you will find a plan that works for you.<\/p>\n<p>Show yourself how great you can be!<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about <a title=\"men's weight loss\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/06\/no-fathers-day-gift-necessary-for-dad-who-lost-220-pounds\/\" target=\"_self\">Tony Posnanski<\/a>&#8216;s story here at DietsInReview.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Tony Posnanski, and odds are you have never heard of me.
