John’s Weight Loss Story!
I lost weight while working part-time at Pizza Hut, which I am currently employed. I have been an overeating food addict for the last 10 years. At one point I would go to 3-4 different fast food places just for lunch! I am currently studying to become a NASM certified personal trainer so I can help other people to become a better version of themselves and to give me a reason not to return to my old habits!
