QUINTON, Va. (AP) - Chris Coleson is on the McDiet. He's dropped
79 pounds in six months by eating nearly all his meals at
McDonald's. But no super-sizing for him. Instead of a Big Mac and
fries, Coleson usually orders salads and wraps. The Quinton,
Virginia, businessman says he weighed 278 pounds in December. Now,
he's down to 199 and his waist size has dropped from 50 inches to
36. He says he decided to go on his McDiet plan because McDonald's
is convenient. His goal is to get down to 185, his weight when he
was married ten years ago.
