Maine woman loses 300 pounds with the "get off your ass and move around" diet

WATERVILLE, Maine -- Cathi Lee is less than half the woman she used to be. In three years, the Maine woman has lost 330 pounds.

She wore a size 38 when she weighed 500 pounds. At that point, she couldn't vacuum a room without sitting down and couldn't do the dishes standing up. There was no flying on planes or going to movies because the seats were too small.

Now, Lee is down to a 12 petite. She said she lost all that weight without pills, crash-dieting or surgery. She gave up junk food and started exercising.

Lee said she used to eat a couple of dozen doughnuts a day, and bags of cookies and potato chips. Now, she eats yogurt, salads and stir-fry veggies.

Despite her tremendous weight loss, Lee said she's not done yet. She added that she'll always have to watch what she eats.
