25 lbs lost
Marup, a 42-year-old father of two young children from Queens, New York, credits Lose It! for helping him break poor eating habits and build healthy ones. He focused on fueling his body with wholesome ingredients and discovering the myriad health benefits of regular exercise.
Marup began his journey to better health when he felt like his body was signaling to him that he was going down the wrong path. He knew that what he was doing – and not doing – was contributing to a lower quality of life. Now that he was in his forties and a father, he wanted to make positive changes to his lifestyle and set incremental and achievable goals to improve his overall health to live a long and happy life with his family.
“I knew I needed to cut down on processed foods and find a type of exercise that I would enjoy doing on a regular basis. Losing weight would be a bonus. I was really focused on setting small goals that I could achieve without feeling overwhelmed.”

Marup started tracking his food with Lose It!, paying attention to what he was putting into his body, and consciously choosing to eat whole foods that contain nutritious ingredients. He discovered a new passion for cycling on his stationary bike and tracked his exercise regimen in the app, steadily progressing toward his fitness and weight loss goals.
“I no longer wake up and crave a big breakfast full of carbs, sugar, and fat. Nowadays, I eat mostly whole foods that contain high-quality ingredients. My meals are hassle-free, simple, and delicious. Tracking my rides on Lose It! and seeing how my new go-to exercise is making a positive impact on my life motivates me for my next ride.”

A typical family dinner now consists of broiled wild salmon, broccoli sauteéd with olive oil and garlic, and brown rice. He eats a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and enjoys planning nutritious meals with his family. For Marup, eating a diet filled with fresh ingredients from whole foods, coupled with regular aerobic exercise, paved the way for living a happier and healthier life.
