I Lost 60 Pounds

IanbeforeafterHi Paul…Since we chat a few months ago I kept my lean health journey with constant weight loss and absolutely no sickness. People around me got sick 2 or 3 times but I was shielded. I came from 247 to 186 pounds since mid November. 60 pounds in 4 months! My wife with her great support, join me on lean health habits and also lost 33 pounds. I was trying to understand how we could change our minds so quickly, but i got the answer AGAIN from one of your videos, “Don’t accept average”. Thats what I’m focused to do in every aspect of my life. I’m 26 now, my wife is 24 and we both got back to our shape of 8 year ago. I will send you some pictures of before and wile on our lean health. Thank you very much Paul! Ian
