This Guy Lost 110 Pounds by Changing His Expectations—and Cutting Out Beer

I’ve always been physically fit. Unfortunately, with my job, I got some injuries, and with those injuries and the lack of mobility, I started to put on weight. I won’t make any other excuses and I know because of the injuries I got lazy, and I ended up at about 280 pounds. My blood pressure rose, and I was on medication for it. The injuries got to the point where I just couldn’t move, and in May of 2022, I went for an MRI on my back. And I couldn’t even fit in the MRI tube. That was my rock bottom. Half an hour later, I was at Ultimate Performance in Los Angeles. I’d already made the decision I was going to U.P. and I had booked the appointment for later that day, but after the MRI incident, I showed up at U.P. an hour-and-a-half early. I was paired with my trainer, Cristian Nuques, and followed a list of steps that got me where I am today.
