This high school student lost 115 pounds by walking to school every day of his junior year, no matter whether it was hot, raining or snowing.
Michael Watson, 18, battled his weight his entire life but decided to make a lasting change when he looked in a mirror his sophomore year of high school.
Watson also changed his diet, working with his dad to learn how to count calories and then forgoing his normal fast food meals for salads, oatmeal and soup. Watson started at his highest weight of 325 pounds. He now weighs 210 pounds, achieving a 115 pound weight loss.“I lost a lot of my insecurities when I lost all that weight,” he said. “You work for it and you get it, so it feels amazing for sure.”
"His story stuck with me," said Terrance Jones, a family support specialist at McKinley who nominated Watson for the school's"Senior Limelight" recognition.
