Triple D's

There are three D's to success.

Determination.

Dedication.

Discipline.

I would like to introduce you to one person who represents all three!

Meet Matthew. 
 This picture was taken a  year ago. Weighing in at 465lbs, Matthew decided to change his life. He did an all liquid diet for an entire year. I met Matthew two weeks into his diet. 

I have to admit that I was a little worried for him. I wanted him to succeed but was nervous for him at the same time. We had a rocky start but with his determination to get healthy... He.Never.Gave.Up. He pushed and pushed and never let anything stop him. We very quickly learned his limitations and worked through them. Things he struggled with the first month, we look back at and now laugh. He had weekly weigh ins, dropping pound after pound. It was like he was melting away right in front of you.

One year later....
Matthew is down to 235lbs. 

Ah-mazing!

Matthew is now doing full push-ups, hill sprints, lunges, assisted pull ups, the dreadful battle ropes and so much more... I could list things for days. He isn't only smaller but he is stronger...physically and mentally. His endurance is unbelievable. 

Losing weight is not easy, not always fun and not for everyone. To get the goals you want you first have do one thing...

Do it for yourself!!! 

That is exactly what Matthew did. He wasn't doing this for his mom, his work or his dog...He was simply doing this for HIMSELF!

I am so proud of him and am so glad that he choose me to work with him for the past year and for the future. He is definitely a determined, dedicated, and discipline man.
