Misty Gauthier, 26
Bank-teller supervisor, Hudson Falls, NY
Before: 236 lbs
After: 146 lbs
Despite a family history of type 2 diabetes, Misty Gauthier, 5'5", ignored her growing waistline for most of her life. Exercise seemed like torture, and it was easier to grab takeout than cook for herself. In fact, it wasn't unusual for her to eat out at every meal—a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on her morning commute, junky catered work lunches, and slices of pizza for dinner. She gained 60 pounds over the course of four years, reaching a high of 236.
The Change
When Misty visited her ob-gyn in February 2009, the doctor suggested testing her blood sugar levels—and the test revealed she was prediabetic. "I didn't want to have to take pills or give myself a shot every day for the rest of my life. I was only 23. It scared me and made me kind of mad at myself," she says. Determined to avoid diabetes and its complications, she took control of the scale.
