Dancing the pounds off - my teen weight loss story

I never thought that I was overweight, even when I was going through the inevitable awkward stage that everyone must experience. At least, not until I heard someone in 7th grade going down the stairs saying, "Wow, he got fat." I wasn't even drastic about losing weight-- I'm still not.

I never changed my diet or anything like that. But over the next few years, I cranked up the music and danced my little heart out. I played danced-based video games rather than fighting ones. And by the time I was in high school, I had lost twenty-thirty pounds that I've kept off ever since. So crank up that Madonna CD you're too embarrassed to admit that you have and get out to the dance floor.
