Spotlight: Daniel Fraire

Hello my name is Daniel Fraire and I’m finally ready to open up about my journey. This will be my accountability since I haven’t opened up to many people. As a kid I started gaining weight, and I realized that my family would always have something to say about this. Even though I was very active I was a heavier kid. So my last summer after graduating high school I planned on going to try out for a division 3 school for tennis.

So I tried just about everything and ended up starving my self and doing a lot of cardio. I dropped the weight and made the team. After 2 years of college I decided to take a break, because I had worn myself out. That winter I met my wife.

Fast forward to June 2020 I was at my heaviest. As I looked back at how I got to that point I realized that I was going through a bad depression that I kept to myself. The only way I found a way to cope with it was food. At that point I realized I was too busy working and trying to make people at my job happy, like customers and coworkers. At that point I decided to make a big change I quit my job and found a different job that I would work less hours and spend way much more time with my wife and 2 kids. So I started taking care of myself, but I was still over eating on some occasions and wasn’t working out.

So one day my son and I are laying down and he asks me if He could jump on my stomach like a trampoline since I was soooo big 😂 that’s when I realized kids will literally always tell you the truth you need to hear 😂 haha so Thats when I dropped 30 pounds from clean eating and cutting out fast food. I went from 321 to 291 without working out. New Years passes by and I’m in February and decide to get me a gym membership, and that’s when things changed for the better!

I love lifting now and try to do most of my cardio chasing my kids around 😂I’m still on my journey, but I am now further away from where I was. I went from 321 my heaviest to now being 245 and continuing to hit the gym consistently so that I can continue to shred fat and pretty soon be able to see my abs just like you! Thank you for the motivation! I remember sending my wife your before and after and telling her that anything was possible, and that that would happen with me as well! You are a great role model and inspiration for anyone struggling with weight thank you for sharing your story and letting us share ours with you!
