John Spino: The man with the famous pants

John Spino, 61, of Leesburg, Fla., once weighed 310 pounds. Today he weighs in at 182 pounds. John, whose health issues include diabetes, is proud of himself. He got involved in L A Weight Loss to save his life, but the social benefits helped keep him motivated.

John is physically active, and isn’t laying around anymore. He says everyone compliments him on “the new John” -- and no one can believe it’s the same guy they knew a few years ago. Even his doctor said, “Whatever you are doing, John, keep doing it! I wish more of my patients would!”

John told me he is done with junk food, and that his sugar cravings are gone. Now he can go into a regular store and buy regular clothes. John says they are a lot cheaper, so he was able to get rid of his old clothes -- even the huge pair of pants he wore before he joined L A Weight Loss.
