I know a guy ; he’s went from very obese to a completely normal bodyweight.
Though his neck has the turkey gibblet look, and his torso a lot of folds due to a massive amount of loose skin, his face is that of a new man, he looks much better, younger even.
He’s walking around in large tshirts now, while he had to have been a 3x or larger before.
His college age son started getting into bodybuilding, eventually getting on stage, and as far as I know this got him motivated to quit being obese.
That’s cool as hell, and why regardless of who you are – be putting a good example into the world.
He was far more into bragging about his son’s doings than mentioning what he’d done.
I didn’t bother asking when and what he’d done. Only taking educated guesses as to the speed due to all the loose skin.
(He lost weight too fast, and without enough strength training, though I’m sure his quality of life is 100x better as it’s much more comfortable to carry 200lbs than 350+, he likely was 400lbs, any way you slice it he’s healthier now.)
I love seeing people make great changes.
It’s better never to have gotten that far gone in the first place, but until your 6′ under you can always change circumstance for the better.
Physical surrender only follows mental surrender. The brain, the proper mindset will force great changes even amongst the oldest and most feeble of senior citizens.
Do you know how many retirees I’ve seen over the years at the gym, getting to it, while on average being extremely sociable and pleasant individuals to share a weight room with?
The time is now. It’s not over yet.
That’s why we fight!
