Hey everyone, figure I would post this up. Just a real talk, honest "grind it out" story with a real life change.
I have been working pretty hard for the past year on getting "less fat". I had gotten up to 406lbs (I'm 6'2"), and it wasn't any fun. It made hunting hard and life in general difficult. It got to the point where I would worry if I could make it back out of places I'd hiked into, or be able to get an animal out if I killed one.
I'd like to say is did some cool, easy, fun "system"... but I didn't. There's no "secret".
I started using MyFitness pal to keep track of what I put in my mouth, and started walking a mile a day. My first mile took me 45 minutes... I tried all kinds of eating plans before I found what worked for me. It just took time.
I joined a gym and actually did what the trainer told me to do. Especially after we talked hunting and he set me up with a routine to mimic hustling in the woods. In addition to that I started using Mtn. Ops Yeti as a preworkout and Enduro to help keep me going. My awesome wife started going to the gym also and watching her food, so she could support me (she is 5'4" and 160lbs, she didn't need to lose weight, but she wanted to become more muscle and less "fluffy" (her term).
Well, it's been a year, the wife is down 27lbs of fat and I'm down 87lbs of fat as of today.
A mile with a 40lb pack is 18 minutes now, and I can keep that pace for as long as I want.
I'm stronger, healthier and happier. Hunting is what it should be again, enjoyable. I'm not the wheezy guy in the back of the group anymore.
I also killed my first elk this year after 5 days of hard hunting on public land.
Life is good and constantly getting better.
Eat smart, work hard, stay with it and it happens. Im not where I want to be yet, but I'm getting closer.
In this pic in 2015 I can't button a 4xlt shirt. 2016 I'm in a 2xlt and down from a 46in pant to a loose 40.
My cow elk from this year. Healthier, happier and not terrified of the pack out.
