SUCCESS STORY
Justin Statham loses 43 pounds• Former weight: 227 pounds
• Current weight: 184 pounds
• Pounds lost: 43
• Height: 5 feet 11 inches
• How long he's kept it off: "I lost 47 pounds in one year around 2002 [on eDiets.com] and was down to 162 pounds. I kept the weight off until the birth of my child in 2004," he says. With a newborn, working out and eating right became difficult. Soon after, they sold their house and moved in with in-laws, making it harder to get back to his program. But now in their new home, Statham is losing the weight for a second time. Since January, he's lost 43 pounds and his goal is to weigh 160-165 pounds.
• Personal life: Statham is a computer technology support manager. He lives with his wife, Karen; daughter, Kate; and two dogs and four cats. Statham and his family live in Powder Springs.
• Turning point: He ran into a former boss who weighed more than 300 pounds but was quick to tell Statham, "Wow, you're fat." Statham knew it was time to make a change.
• Diet plan: Statham follows the eDiets.com standard plan. Breakfast is six egg whites, with one whole egg, 1 cup of oatmeal, a quarter cup blueberries and a protein shake. For lunch, he'll eat 6 ounces of chicken breast, half a cup of rice and 1 cup of vegetables. In the afternoon, he has a snack of 3 ounces of turkey, a cup of yogurt and half a tablespoon of peanut butter. Dinner is usually 6 to 7 ounces of meat, half a cup of rice, a cup of vegetables, and a salad topped with oil and vinegar.
• Exercise routine: Statham works out every morning in his home gym for an hour. He does 30 to 45 minutes of weight training and 15 to 30 minutes of cardio.
• Biggest challenge: "Staying away from sweets," he says.
• Munchie antidote: Although he doesn't get hungry the way he's set up his diet, he reaches for fruit or vegetables such as blueberries, apples or broccoli when he has the munchies.
• Secret to success: "Staying on the plan and not being tempted," he says. "Many want to lose weight, but few have the discipline to do it."
• How life has changed: "I have more energy and feel much better," he says. "I can actually fit back into my clothes."
