One year ago this week, I realized that I needed to make a change in my life. I decided to better my health through a change in diet and healthier living. Seeing what Geoff was able to accomplish along with seeing someone like Adam Ellis go through the process of transforming themselves really helped me get started and keep it up.

I have lost 205 pounds so far. I started at 400 pounds (verified by my doctor, who i see every 3 months) and now sit at 195 pounds.

I am 6 feet 3 inches tall.

In terms of what I did and still do: Specifically, I do an IIFYM Keto diet along with not exceeding 2,000 calories a day while trying to hit 1,600. The 2,000 is my HARD STOP.

The first 150 pounds was just from the diet change(no extra exercise), then over the course of losing the last 55 pounds I added in cardio with increasing intensity.

I now try to jog a minimum of 10km a day.

My next step is to add in some weight training so I can get buff like Adam.

Edit: Wow, so many comments, thanks for the outpouring of support everyone. Im trying to keep up, but I do not think I can. So thank you for your kind words everyone.
