This is David from Youngstown, Ohio and he lost 65 pounds in 9 months. Losing one to two pounds of fat per week is perfect because it allows you to lose the fat without losing muscle or strength as happens with too rapid of weight loss. He is now a mean, lean fighting machine! Same strength but 65lbs less fat – faster, more agile! Congratulations David!
David is a great example of someone who seems to store his fat evenly everywhere rather than in one place like the belly – a curse and a blessing. A blessing because this kind of fat distribution is not associated with heart disease and because it *looks* like muscle. A curse because it can lead one astray when trying to gain muscle because its so easy to mistake fat gain for muscle gain. People with this type of fat distribution need to measure their progress very carefully and accurately or they will end up fat rather than muscular!

“I was a lineman playing football and I loved the position but I did not like the extra fat that whent with it to keep up in size with the competition. I told myself after football was over that I would lose all the fat because I hated the way my body looked. Sure enough once football wasd over I dedicated the next 9 months of my life in losing the weight. It has been the best thing I have ever done in my life and I am proud everyday that I did it and it is a huge motivator for everything else.”
