    Awesome great story! I'm in my own personal battle with weight loss. In October of last year(2015) I weighed 330 pounds and by Christmas I was at 300. I was only doing cardio and eating a fairly healthy diet. In February I started weight lift at around 275 and today I'm at 265.

    I'm kind of bummed because the I've been 265ish for easily 3 months. People say i look better but I'd love to loose another 25 pounds. I'm starting to get a little discouraged so I came here to read posts and this is very inspiring!

    Amazing. Inspiring. Powerful. Thanks for sharing love the real details so no worries about length.
    You know if I saw you at the gym today I would assume you always looked that good. Never thinking about your amazing journey
    This gives me something to think about at gym when I see others. I want to know their story too
    I use to HATE going to gym
    Felt like I did not belong there
    Now I feel happy to go. To become healthier

    Awesome man! I started at 367 and am down to the 250s. Been lifting 3 days a week and running 3 days a week for the better part of the past six months. You remind me that there will be ups and downs on this journey, what matters is that I keep going and remember I won't achieve my goals over night, but over a long period of time with consistency and effort I'll get there eventually. Good work man!

    I just lift 7x a week and i lift with purpose. When i started i primarily did a rep range of 3-6 reps and did many sets 6-8 sets of each excercise.

    I group chest/triceps, back/biceps and then the 3rd day i do legs/shoulders together and then i repeat.

    For cardio i'll run 2-3 miles and just do it in a sprint interval fashion. I run really hard for 30 seconds, walk for 10-20 seconds and repeat.

    I also do abs every other day and i do calves on the days i don't do abs.

    Get plenty of protein, eat well and that's really it.

    I've only begun on my own 2 year goal to get healthy. Your story is inspiring. Best quote: " It's just about establishing consistency."

    Good stuff.
