A Constant Work In Progress

I come from a family that has always had a battle with being overweight. I’ve also lost family members at a “too young” age due to heart disease. My mom was diabetic. So basically, unless I made a change, dying young was something that was destined to happen to me. It wasn’t until my brother, someone from MY generation, died before the age of 50 that I really got serious about my health. I’m about a year and a half in and I’m down ~55 lbs which isn’t anything outrageous, BUT I have maintained my strength and LBM fairly well. I plan to do my first powerlifting competition early next year so we are building on that strength with a bit of a reverse. Current PRs 150 bench, 270 squat and 320 deadlift.
