My Story

I have been a big man for a very long time, I have done diets in the past and have had low success. I started this journey at 345 pounds and finally decided that it was time to stop being selfish to myself and selfish to my family. I wandered into a "health" store that promotes supplements for dieting and exercise. I had a lengthy conversation with a nutritionist that works there and started following their advice which led to a 85 pound loss over 7 months. I suffered an injury which made me immobile and depressed for a long time. It took some time and treatment to get my body back to the point I can start working on myself again. Although I still struggle with some lingering issues from my injury I am staying positive and motivated to get back to work and do what needs to be done. I gained 40 pounds back from the 85 I lost and sadly this put my weight back over 300 again (which I told myself I would never get to again). This is concrete proof that months of hard work can be erased if you do not commit to the lifestyle changes to better yourself. I will do what needs to be done to get back to where I was and continue moving forward to live a healthy and happy life!
