I just saw an incredible news story on CNN about Mason Harvey a 6th grader from Guthrie Oklahoma.
One year ago he weighed 206 pounds and was bullied by other kids. The teasing led to more eating and weight gain. Finally Mason was tired of being ridiculed and decided to make a change. By eating healthier and getting physical activity Mason lost 85 pounds!
His success hasn't stopped there. He continues to inspire his parents and community members to lose weight by organizing fitness events to promote awareness of childhood obesity!
Mason Harvey's story is an quintessence of how making small changes in your lifestyle can increase your healthy living.
