Hey all! My name is Ryan and I wanted to share my story with everyone on this page.

I started out at 325lbs, and I was obese from early childhood until I was about 23-24 years old. 

I am 6'1’’ and the time span in the photo I have attached is about a year and a half give or take. Even after losing all of this weight, I still struggle with keeping it off while I am trying to put on muscle. I started this journey thinking that I would get the body I originally had envisioned, but as you can see, not everything worked out as planned! 

I ended up with extra skin, and for a while I was pretty upset with myself. Over time, I have learned to live with it and just focus on my new goals of becoming stronger and as healthy as possible. 

My new passion is helping others to achieve their health and fitness goals, which is what drove me to start my website http://www.liftheavyacademy.com and to finally become a certified personal trainer myself. It has been a long time in the making, but now I am realizing my own dream by helping others to achieve theirs. 

If you or someone in your life is struggling with their weight, please be a positive force in their life. Never beat them down or criticize them… They may brush it off, but deep down it really does affect them greatly.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story! If you want to know more, please DM me on here, or contact me on my website http://www.liftheavyacademy.com or email me at ryan@liftheavyacademy.com!
