Everything has been documented (filmed) from the begining of my 630 pounds to right now. I did it all through diet and exercise. I have had some corrective surgery for the sagging skin, 3 in fact with another one on the horizon. I measured my scars and so far I have 216 inches or 18 feet of them. I am happy to have them considering what I used to look like and I can finally show off my body. I am an ACE certified Personal Trainer. I might not be able to respond back but I appreciate everyone who looks at my befores and my afters and gets motivated to change their lives as well. I just want everyone to know it is possible so never doubt yourself. My key was to never set the bar too high.
I never set out to lose 400lbs, I set out to lose 20, then another 20. The "diet" I did was carb cycling, google it or go to http://www.staxsystem.com/
