I was losing weight, but more importantly becoming stronger.

DAVID LOST OVER 25LBS AND HAS A NEW, HEALTHY LIFESTYLE!

I started my journey at Freight House Fitness close to 5 years ago. I became aware of FHF through a neighbor who had trained with Sean. I was hearing stories of workouts and food prep, but also noticed how happy they were with the changes they were seeing. This caught my attention and soon enough I found myself waking up before sunrise to start doing lunges and burpees.

If someone met me 5 years ago, I think they would have known I was active, and I was. I would challenge myself through running, completing two marathons and multiple half marathons. I would weight lift in my apartment gym and even at my work. However, I did slowly start to see myself gain weight as my age increased. I didn’t know much about dieting.  I had moved from Seattle to KC in the years prior and noticed that my food options became less healthy. BBQ was easy and delicious and quickly replaced the seafood staple meals of the Pacific North West. There were more fast food options available. It became easy to get comfortable and forget about the calories. It also didn’t help that my hobby focused on beer, talking about it but also enjoying it. You won’t be surprised to hear that I gained weight.

When the 90 Day Challenge became part of the FHF membership I decided to give it a go. I told myself to believe in the process and soak up as much information for 90 days. I started to learn about flexible dieting and it made sense. I learned how proteins, carbs and fats affected my day. Soon I was losing weight, but more importantly becoming stronger. Over the course of challenge I was learned how important food was to my body. It wasn’t easy, I saw the highs and the lows, but I kept learning and noticed the results. I will continue to use these lessons to help maintain my weight. I came to Freight House at close to 215 lbs and dropped down to 190.
