TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Woman Sheds 80 Pounds

Hannah Guthrie was told she was too heavy to ride a Segway and had to sit back and watch everyone else have fun.

Nobody wants to be left out of the fun, but for one woman it helped change her life for the better. Hannah Guthrie says she was told that she was too heavy to ride a Segway at a bachelorette party event and had to sit back and watch everyone else enjoy themselves. At the time, she weighed more than 280-pounds and she says that embarrassing moment led her to make healthy changes.

Hannah not only had to get on a scale and be weighed before she could ride the Segway, once she found out she was over the limit, she had to sit on a bench and explain to everyone why she couldn’t join in. “After that, I decided something had to change,” she says. So she joined a gym, tweaked her diet and took up swimming and dancing to shed pounds. It’s been four years and she’s now lost over 80-pounds and she’s keeping it off.

“It has been a slow process,” Hannah explains. “I know I’ve done well, but it’s a lot to get used to. I finally feel attractive, it’s all been so worthwhile!”
