Health Tips





Catching
up with past
Success Story stars



By Allison Stephan






It started with a simple premise back in
1996: an average person would share the details on how they went
from “fat to fit” with readers.


The very first “Success Story” article
struck a nerve with readers anxious to see how someone struggling
with excess weight had managed to drop pounds and keep them off.
The monthly column has become one of the most popular articles in
H&FSM.

The nearly 100 people who have appeared as
Success Stories over the years have lost a total of more than
4,900 pounds, but it all began with Marci Murff in our October
1996 issue. As we celebrate our 23rd anniversary this month,
H&FSM re-visits
some of the people whose Success Story articles inspired others to
begin their journey toward improved health.
