Turned My Life Around

By Buck R.

After growing up very physically active and enjoying a moderately healthy life, I packed on the pounds during my last couple of years in college. After being cut from the football team, I went from 210 to 280 pounds in two years. I didn't really realize at the time but that led me towards a deep hole of depression. I had a personal ‘Come to Jesus’ moment that made me want to drop the weight and become physically healthy. Through conversations with Grant I realized that it couldn't just be a short term diet plan to drop the weight but rather a complete lifestyle change. I needed to eat healthier meals, stop snacking on cakes and sweets, and get active again.

Grant was always positive about the journey and encouraged me to stay the course when weight loss slowed down. He helped me navigate restaurant menus while eating out. Together we organized outings and events with friends that encouraged everyone to be more active.

I’m now leaner and healthier than I’ve ever been. I enjoy endurance events and have run 5 marathons, numerous half-marathons, completed a half Ironman and currently training for a full Ironman. Through all of it, Grant has been consistent in encouraging me to make good choices for myself and helped me develop my own discipline. I now make balanced choices in everyday life and couldn't be happier. I say it all the time and tell anyone who asks about my journey that though I have done the hard work, I never would have made it without Grant's help.
