Aspiring or Present fitness professionals out there?

Options
I would like to hear your success story about your journey from fat to fit. I know that the majority of people in the fitness industry may not have had weight or health issues. So I would like to hear from those who have, and then became personal trainers or other fitness professionals.
(I will probably post this same message a few times because I hope to get to hear from as many of you as I can)
