NowBiking everywhere kick-started Sydney Pershings amazing 162-pound weight loss. <\/p>\n

As a child, I was always at least 20 pounds overweight. And when I was 13, I was diagnosed with epilepsy<\/a>. Having seizures drained me, so I rarely felt like exercising. The cocktail of medications only added to my size, and by the time I was 25, I was 287 pounds and depressed. That year, I asked a surgeon about weight loss-surgery<\/a>. He told me I wasnt a candidate because I was morbidly obese and too unhealthy for surgery—I would have to shed some weight first.<\/p>\n
