44-year-old Dale Buettner shed nearly half his body weight
-- 280 pounds. He had been overweight since the first grade, where his mom had
to custom-make Little League uniforms for him.
In 2010, at more than 400 pounds, he joined Weight Watchers
with his wife and started dealing with the underlying emotional issues that
caused him to overeat.
One year later he had lost 100 pounds and with renewed hope
started walking regularly.
He joined an online community in 2012 called LoseIt that
helped him track his exercise and calories on his mobile phone and gave him
encouragement.
Today he weighs in at 175 pounds and is an example for others.
