Over the past year and a half something finally snapped in my brain and I managed to transform my body in a way I never would have imagined. I've always struggled with my weight, I'm 5'11 and my weight topped out at around 270lbs. In 2015, I was actually able to lose around 30lbs and get my weight down to around 240lbs. At that point It was the "healthiest" I had ever been and then I slipped up and within a few months put the weight back on and then some.

My transformation journey started after eating a sickening amount of food on Christmas Eve 2020 and getting a apple watch that constantly told me I wasn't move enough, I finally decided I was finally tired of over eating to the point of sickness and being unhealthy overweight.

Between December 2020 and June 2020 I managed to drop 100lbs by moving a lot more and eating a lot less. In all honesty I didn't know what I was doing during my diet and went about losing the weight in a very unhealthy manner. I was lucky enough to start learning about proper nutrition towards the end of my diet and started reverse dieting after hitting my goal weight of 160lbs and subsequently lost an additional 20lbs bringing my total weight lost to 120lbs in just over 10 months.

In 5 days (June 17th) It will be one year that since I hit my goal weight of 160lbs and have actually managed to maintain my weight and have found a diet that is both sensible in portions and nutrition that I actually enjoy. My current goal now is to try and build more muscle as I did lose a lot with my poor dieting approach, but I really can't believe I managed to transform my body in a way I never thought would be possible and keep it that way.

All the best!
