Journey started back on May 8th 2016, at a weighing of 226.4lbs. Looked in the mirrored and did not like how I was looking each day. Started doing cardio each day 5 days a week and drinking lots of water each day at a gallon of water minimum. Continued to hit the gym for 1 hour a day and then when I hit my 6 month journey bumped up the gym time to 2 hours a day. Best decision I made so far. Was able to get down to 167.8 lbs. Cut out all red meat, bread, soda, junk goodies and eating out. For 12 months straight. Best decision and completely felt better after 3 months into the journey. Today I'm able to maintain a solid weigh of 174 to 179 lbs each day week over week and building solid muscle each day. What I thought once was a joke it's a lifestyle for me now. 16 months into this journey. Nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it and have plenty of patience.

Thank you. List of food was simple to start it was all chicken, salmon, tilapia, salads no dressing added lemon instead, protein shakes and quest bars, added rice cakes to the mix, and a gallon of water or more each day for the first 6 months each day.
