While Losing 100+ pounds, David White Gains New Perspective

For most students, attending college is a transformational experience. But for David White, who is graduating with a bachelor's degree in statistics , the past four years at Carnegie Mellon University has transformed him more than most. When White arrived as a freshman in 2015, he weighed 311 pounds. Today the Cleveland, Ohio, native is a svelte 190. He credits much of his dynamic physical transformation to Carnegie Mellon. "I was very overweight, and I think I had an eating disorder," said White, 22. So, in early December 2015, while lying on his Mudge House dorm room bed, he was inspired by a story of someone losing more than 100 pounds and resolved to shed some pounds of his own.
