I started out as a thin kid who could eat anything I wanted and still maintain a great physique. As age caught up with me, so did the consequences of my poor health choices. By the time I was 28 years old, I was near 250 lbs and 35+% body fat. My doctor told me that I was insulin resistant, my cholesterol was high and that my lifestyle needed to change or I would have to start insulin injections and cholesterol medication. That visit ignited a fire under my butt that motivated me to lose weight and start making healthy diet choices. Since then, I have reached 188 pounds and 11% body fat.

I started strictly to improve my health. I continued because I began to feel better, both mentally and physically.
