Posted here previously before my cut! I weighed in at 250 and cut down to 229! My weight seven years ago? 400lbs... You read that right, 400lbs! I dreamed of having a super hero body but I kind of saw it like winning the lottery... It wasn't a reality to me until I leaned how to take it a day at a time. That's when I got the body I really had been dreaming of!

Don't be afraid to add me!

    If I had to tell person one thing: take it a day at a time - a meal at a time. If you try to take the whole goal on at once it daunt you.

    So to all of those curious, I lost all the weight strictly by restricting my calories. No keto, no surgery, or anything crazy like that! Just blood, sweat, and tears! I ate pretty much whatever I wanted but I did weigh and measure ALL my foods I consumed, I still do to this day.

    I started out training full body, then Switched to bodybuilding movements, then to powerlifting, and finally adapted between bodybuilding and powerlifting! I train 4-6 days a week depending on how my body is responding.
