My name is Elizabeth Signer aka "The Fat Boxer". I write a humor article on my weight loss experience for Examiner.com: http://www.examiner.com/x-1190-Orlando-Weight-Loss-Examiner
I have lost over 150 lbs after being told that I'd never be able to lose the weight unless I had lap band surgery. I discovered I had a gluten intolerance and after giving up many of the starchy carbs, the weight just FELL off! I still have a long journey ahead of me, but I have confidence now that my weight loss goals CAN be reached. I just want to spread the word to as many folks as possible, especially if you are being told that lap band surgery is your only hope. Please share your stories with me! Feel free to comment either here or on the examiner page.
I'm also writing a series of humor books
about the process, sharing the journey that is taking me from just
under 400 pounds to the goal of a size 10. The first in the
series, Fat Boxing, A Guide to Weight Loss, is available
now at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and via the publisher's
press release page: http://www.strategicbookpublishing.com/FatBoxing-AGui 
I'm planning the book tour and would love to speak to any
weight loss support groups, book clubs, or any groups interested in
my story. I hope to meet with as many of you as possible on my
travels. Good luck in your endeavors and let me hear from you!
