I was heading to work when I rolled my truck and was rushed to the hospital for emergence surgery. 10% change of living,2 rods and 8 screws later I survived. Doctor said don't know if I ever could walk again. 1 mo th later I was walking on my own.after 3 months I hit a wall and got so depressed cuz of how limited I was.i got all the way up to 264. So Dec of 2016 I decided enuf was enuf and started hitting the gym and watching my diet. Today I am 205 and feel better than I ever have since the accident.i won't let nobody tell me my limits again. I will be posting alot of updates w the workouts I do each day so add me to see my hiit workouts. Please post or comment if anyone else has a great story!!!

    You are looking great! I've lost 45'ish pounds so far in the past year. The last 18lbs were the result of an aggressive diet program but before that I was just trying to eat a little smarter and losing weight slowly

    Slow and steady is key. Fast weight loss results usually is putting it back on. Be patient, do it right and results will come

    @Tapout112009, we may as well call you Steve Austin! For the sake of the gainz to come, I imagine your body was like, "We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster."

    I guess all you need now is this shirt and a shave (keep the stache) ...
