Name: Aaron Detweiler Age: 26 Height: 5'11" Before Weight: 263 pounds

How I Gained It: In my early 20s I was in really good shape, but after I started working full time I lost all ambition for working out. I would eat fast food almost daily for lunch, and even had more days than I wish to count where I had it for lunch and dinner. I work in an office, so on top of my horrible eating habits, I was in a chair eight hours a day and after work would just go home and eat dinner and watch TV. The scale slowly climbed -- first to 220 then 240, and I kept telling myself I wouldn't get heavier than that. In June of 2010, after a vacation to Texas, I got home and the scale read 263.

Breaking Point: After a few months of telling myself I was going to lose all the weight every Monday only to be back to my old habits by Tuesday, I got to the point where it all clicked one week in November of 2010, and I haven't looked back.

How I Lost It: The first few months were just eating healthy and completely eliminating fast food and snacking at night. I dropped around 30 pounds in six weeks by just doing these simple things. The first week was really difficult, but after I developed my new eating routine it never even fazed me.

During the week, my dinners are either chicken or fish with rice or pasta and a lot of raw veggies. On the weekends, I will loosen up a little with what I eat, but I try not to overdo it on portions if I do eat something unhealthy. Usually lunch is either a tuna sandwich or a leftover chicken breast and veggies from the night before. I always eat breakfast, either eggs or oatmeal, and I hardly ever snack between meals. I found hrough logging food on myfitnesspal that just a handful of snacks here and there throughout the day can easily add up to 300 to 400 calories, and you don't even know it.

Once I began to see my body changing it kept the fire alive and pushed me even harder. After the first few months I began lifting weights and running, which sped up my weight loss. I was down to 210 pounds by March of 2011. I have slowly been losing the last 20 pounds by working out five days a week, running and lifting. I started the process wanting to get to 200 pounds, and when I got there, I wasn't satisfied. Now I want to get in the best shape of my life.

Now, I have 20 times the energy I used to have. At my heaviest just playing nine holes of golf, even with a cart, would make me tired for the rest of the day. I can run around all day and rarely get tired. I'm so thankful I finally committed to doing this now, because I was going down an unhealthy path that could have led anywhere. I've completely rebooted everything I knew about eating and will carry these principles with me for the rest of my life. When I think back to how I used to eat and how lazy I was, I still get mad at myself, but I am thankful I was given the strength to correct it and start over before it was too late.

After Weight: 188 pounds

Weight Loss Success: Aaron Detweiler Cut Out Fast Food And Lost 75 Pounds

Indian superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's spectacular red carpet return is likely to halt criticism in her home country that she did not lose her baby weight fast enough after giving birth last November.

The 38-year-old beloved Bollywood star stepped out last night looking flawlessly beautiful at the Cannes Film Festival's AmfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala.

The Bride & Prejudice actress, whom Julia Roberts once called "the world's most beautiful woman," walked the red carpet in a gold embroidered sari and matching tailored jacket, her hair pulled up and adorned with an understated gold band.

After giving birth in November to daughter Aaradhya with her husband and fellow actor Abhishek Bachchan, the star was snapped looking heavier and sporting a double chin. Internet videos also made the rounds making fun of her weight gain.

Some critics even suggested that the actress and former beauty queen who won the Miss World title in 1994 had a "duty" to her fans to quickly regain her pre-pregnancy figure. She has responded by saying publicly that she was in no hurry to lose the baby weight and was simply focusing on "enjoying motherhood."

Stunning Aishwarya Rai Defies Baby Weight Critics

Call it the mystery of the vanishing baby bulk.

This month, Internet gossip sites gushed over Beyonce's rapid weight loss after giving birth to her baby daughter, Blue Ivy, revealing photos of the slender "Single Ladies" star in form-fitting dresses and sexy swimsuits.

It is a trick that Carly Kirsch, who delivered two children in three years, wished she could have pulled off. "The weight didn't come off as quickly as I hoped," the Cheshire resident said. "I tried low calorie diets, exercising more -- everything under the sun."

A lot of celebrity moms magically morph into their pre-baby shape within weeks of leaving the hospital, she added, "but for most women, it's not realistic."

Indeed, it takes most women six to nine months to shed the excess poundage put on during their pregnancies -- a fact they need to keep in mind, even as they're bombarded by images of strikingly svelte, postpartum stars, experts said.

Kirsch, owner of Newly Nested, a Connecticut-based baby planning and consulting service, said celebrities such as Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Bethenny Frankel enjoy a "support system" -- a team of nannies, trainers and personal chefs -- that isn't available to the average child bearer.

"You have to take that into perspective," she said, adding that "it's more practical to lose the weight a little bit at a time."

New moms pack on an average of 25 to 30 extra pounds during their pregnancy, said Barbara Schmidt, nutrition and lifestyle specialist at Norwalk Hospital who heads the organization's Transformations weight-loss program. If they stick to a diet and exercise plan, they can safely lose 1.5 pounds per week.

But that's often easier said than done, Schmidt said. After all, new moms have enough to think about. So they must make it a point to treat themselves right, Schmidt said. She urged them to avoid empty calories from juice, soda, cookies and candy and stick to healthy choices such as skim milk, water, lean meats and vegetables.

"You want to make sure to eat a well-balanced diet and, over time, you'll start to see the difference," she added.

Aishwarya Rai, a gorgeous Bollywood actress who has been dubbed the most beautiful woman in the world is garnering harsh criticism for not losing her baby weight fast enough.

In perhaps one of the most telling stories about the American obsession with weight, Rai has suffered the cruel attentions of the people of India, who are comparing her to Hollywood actresses like Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham, saying she should have lost the weight by now even though she just gave birth to her daughter in November.

She is a Bollywood actress and it is her duty to look good and fit, one person commented on a photo of Rai that has made rounds on the web. The photo shows the actress before-and-after pregnancy and has sparked a wave of negative comments about her appearance.

Aishwarya is like a goddess, said columnist Shobhaa De. She is held up as the ideal of beauty and so there is an expectation on her to look perfect at all times.

Rai has said shes in no hurry to lose the baby weight and just wants to enjoy motherhood. She also recognizes that the American views on womens bodies is pretty flawed and shouldnt apply to everyone, and many are applauding her for it.

The role models being held up are Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham, but our body frames are different we have wider hips and curves so this whole business of looking desperately skinny two weeks after giving birth is a western import, she said.

Supermodel Tyra Banks recently wrote an open letter to The Daily Beast regarding Vogue Magazines ban on anorexic-looking models, saying its a huge step for our culture to recognize that not every woman needs to be a size zero, and some go to extremes to attain an unnatural figure.

WASHINGTON In an age of long commutes, late sports practices, endless workdays and 24/7 television programming, the image of Mom hanging up her dish towel at 7 p.m. and declaring the kitchen is closed seems a quaint relic of an earlier era.

It also harks back to a thinner America. And that may be no coincidence.

A new study, conducted on mice, hints at an unexpected contributor to the nations epidemic of obesity and, if later human studies bear it out, a possible way to have our cake and eat it too, with less risk of weight gain and the diseases that come with it.

Just eat your cake or better yet, an apple earlier. Then wait 16 hours, until the next morning, to eat again.

We have to come up with something that is a simple alternative to calorie counting, said Satchidananda Panda, a regulatory biologist at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, Calif., who led the study published online Thursday by the journal Cell Metabolism.

Panda and his team put groups of mice on different eating regimens for 100 days. Animals in two of the groups dined on high-fat, high-calorie chow. Half of them were allowed to eat whenever they wanted, and nibbled on and off throughout the night and day. The other mice had access to food only for eight hours at night, when they were most active.

The difference was astonishing. Even though they ate a high-fat diet, the mice who wrapped up their eating day early and were forced to fast for 16 hours were lean almost as lean as mice in a control group who ate regular chow. But the mice who noshed on high-fat chow around the clock became obese, even though they consumed the same amount of fat and calories as their counterparts on the time-restricted diet.

It is suggestive that scholars in the diabetes, obesity and other areas related to heart disease need to test this issue further in animals and humans, said Barry Popkin, nutrition expert at the University of North Carolina.

DALLAS

This is Texas--where big is good and bigger is even better. Now according to a new diet plan called Volumetrics when it comes to food--you can fill up big time and do it on fewer calories.

Studies find that how much we eat makes us feel fuller than the actual calorie content in the food.

Blair McDonald is a nanny trying to drop a few pounds before her October wedding.

She's dieting for the first time.

"It's scary, Blair said. It's my first opportunity to actually try one and try to stick with it."

Blair isn't on the Volumetrics diet--but close.

She's eating larger meals with fewer calories and feeling satisfied.

"For example, Blair said. Normally I'd have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, now I'm having fruit, a salad, a few sliced of turkey so I'm eating more I guess but I'm also eating so much healthier"

Blair is volumizing and didn't even know it.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV) -- Washington University is conducting a study on obesity and is asking participants to gain weight. In return they will be paid thousands of dollars.

As a part of the study on obesity, the school is offering participants the opportunity to eat all the fast food they want every day for three months. Theyll even get paid $3,500 for it.

The only catch? They have to gain five percent of their body weight during the duration of the study.

By choosing fast foods, we can regulate that food intake much better than trying to tell people to try and decide on their own eating food at home, which requires judgment and educations on what youre eating, said Dr. Sam Klein with Washington University. By going to eat fast food, we know exactly what theyre eating.

The point of the study is to determine why some overweight people develop diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors, while others do not.

Heres the criteria to take part:

Khloe Kardashian has managed to lose 20lbs in 20 days according to her latest cover shoot, which shows off her incredible weight loss, but the reality star can't stop herself from covering her abs.

The 27-year-old has admitted to having issues with her weight, and was even called out by her momager Kris Jenner during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, where she was told to lose weight.

Now Life & Style Weekly magazine, shows off a stunning picture of Khloe Kardashian showing off her new bikini body with the caption: "How I got thin, fast!". But what's wrong with the picture? While most people who've dropped their weight, Khloe is still shielding her stomach.

According to reports, its thought that Khloe has actually really lost the weight after hiring a personal chef to cook her some healthy meals. Khloe has said of her weight in the past: "My weight is always going up and down. I'm always fighting that and I feel like no matter what I do, I don't look good enough to everybody else.

"My weight is my biggest lifetime struggle. It's not the biggest thing in life, but it does get you down sometimes."
