QUINTON, Va. (AP) - A Virginia man lost about 80 pounds in six
months by eating nearly every meal at McDonald's.
Not Big Macs, french fries or chocolate shakes. Mostly salads,
wraps and apple dippers without the caramel sauce.
Chris Coleson tipped the scales at 278 pounds in December. The
5-foot-8 Coleson now weighs 199 pounds and his waist size has
dropped from 50 to 36.
The 42-year-old businessman from Quinton, Virginia, says he
chose McDonald's because it's convenient.
His inspiration came from his two children and from the story of
a blind war veteran who rode a tandem bicycle cross-country.
Coleson says his goal is to get back to the 185 pounds he
weighed when he married Tricia Summer. Their 10th anniversary is
tomorrow.
