    I seen this on NBC 17 website and i don't know i just find it hard to believe .. Maybe its because i seen that movie super-size me .. That movie was disgusting .I heard that the salads where just as bad as a big mack .Not sure how true that is but i don't really care either . Me & my family have kicked our addiction to McDonald's a few years ago .Thank goodness
    Congrats to this man if its working for him !



    Virginia man sheds 80 pounds eating at McDonald's

    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 and 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 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 Saturday

    I believe it, probably thought he might get a "Jarrett" job selling McDonald's healthy meal. Otherwise I would have picked a different place to "Go healthy".

    I think it is very believable. It's all about making healthier choices. Let's compare using Weight Watchers Points.

    Meal #1 = 19 points
    Big N' Tasty (without cheese) 11 points
    Medium Fry (comes with meal deal) 8 points
    Diet Drink

    Meal #2 = 10 points
    hamburger - 5 points
    small fry - 5 points
    diet drink

    ======================
    Meal #3 = 19 points
    Crispy Chicken Classic - 11 points
    Med. fry - 8 points

    Meal #4 7.5-10 points
    Bacon Ranch Salad with grilled chicked (very filling serving) - 5 points
    Ranch Salad dressing - 5 points (if you use the entire packet ... use half or dip fork in dressing to cut you points in half)
