Pete O’Neill, 21 Boca Raton, Florida
We often hear stories about girls in college who put on weight – the "Freshman 15" or the "Freshman 40." "It can happen to guys too," says Pete O’Neill, 21, who gained more than 50 pounds during his freshman fall semester in 2006 at Digital Media Arts College in Boca Raton, Florida. "All that pizza, junk food, and drinking took its toll."

Jennifer Garman, 45 Thomasville, North Carolina
Nearly a year ago, Jennifer Garman, a mother of two daughters ages 14 and 23, had reached a point "where I could not stop the weight gain." She’d hit 243 pounds and a size 24, the largest she’d ever been. And it scared her. The simple act of carrying her four-month-old grandchild up one flight of stairs left her breathless.

I’m a young 52 instead of an old 52
Phoenix, Arizona
Recently, despite the gray in my beard and what hair I have left, a lot of people have told me they never would have guessed I was in my 50s. Obviously, what’s most important is how I myself feel, but it’s always nice to get a little outside reinforcement.
Sherri DeJesus
Houston, Texas
Within eight months, Sherri shed 60 pounds and dropped from a size 18 to a size 8. Even more importantly, she’s kept the weight off, going on two years now. “For the first time in my life, I’m mindful of what I’m eating. I know how vital it is to plan ahead so that whenever hunger hits, I’m surrounded by the right food. Pritikin empowered me with the tools I needed to change my life.”
