Hi, my name is Mat, I work a sedentary office job and I�m a musician. I have always struggled with my weight throughout my life. Tipping over 200 pounds by the beginning of highschool, I considered myself to be �proportionally fat �as I would call it. I was always athletic in nature but I always ate when I wanted, whenever I wanted without regard to anything. I�m the poster child of 2 slices of pizza and a soda everyday of my life since I was like 10. It was the first three years of my first daughter's birth I would say is when my weight got really out of hand. I was eating excessively, and I could start to feel it affecting my health, confidence and overall well being. After my second daughter�s birth, I knew it was time to make a change.
My body transformation started in July of 2013. I promised myself that I would make the commitment to turn this all around. I want to be around to see my daughters grow up, I want to be the best I can be for my wife, and I want to feel like the warrior I know I can be. It wouldn�t hurt to look a little better on stage also.
