How James Barany helped himself lose weight

Learn how James Barany managed to lose 60 pounds.Having troubles motivating yourself to lose weight? Let me tell you a story of James Barany. He thought his weight was 376 pounds. In fact, it was a wrong scale and he was 20 pounds heavier than he had thought. He desperately needed to lose weight. Not for himself, for his two lovely daughters. And he lost 60 pounds. How did he manage to do this?

James bought a chalkboard and wrote 376 on it. This was his weight and he had to do something about it. He started shooting an animated video "My Most Important Self-Portrait.".

James took hundreds of shots of his body, from every angle. James tried to record the changes in his body and wrote a new number, his new weight, on his chalkboard every time.
