Brian’s Weight Loss Story!

When did you become unhappy with your weight?
When my knees and back started to bother me at a young age. I was also unhappy when I looked in the mirror.

I didn’t want to continue to have knees and back pain at 21 years old.

What were the most important changes you made to lose weight?
My overall health.

What was most challenging about losing weight?
The most challenging thing was all of the temptations.

How long did it take you to start to see results?
I started seeing results in 1 month.

How long did it take for you to reach your current weight?
It only took my 3 months to lose the weight.

How long have you maintained your weight loss and how do you do it?

What keeps you motivated to continue your weight loss success?
My positive self-esteem is a big motivating factor to keep it up.
