After hosting a Super Bowl party and overeating, I woke up the following day struggling to find pants that fit. I tried on 3 different sized pants to find something that would fit me. It was a moment of realization that I had let myself go and I no longer wanted to be in that state.

When I started I was around 190 pounds and I’m currently around 163 pounds. As the months went on using the Built With Science programs I'd take my picture and I'd be like, eh, you know, whatever, it's not gonna, not gonna be much improvement. Then I compare it to the month before, or I compare it to like, where I started and I was like, oh, okay, okay, this is working.

When I started the Built With Science Intermediate Shred 2.0, I weighed in at 73 kilograms (160 pounds), grappling with persistent love handles and excess belly fat. Now, I stand at a lean 57 kilograms (125 pounds), often prompting amazed reactions at the disappearance of those love handles.

Prior to embarking on the Built With Science programs, my dedication to a fitness-oriented lifestyle was far from unwavering. I often found myself contemplating whether I could skip a day at the gym or questioning the reasons behind my efforts. With an initial weight of 182 pounds and a less-than-optimal commitment to my well-being, I recognized that a transformative journey was possible with the Built With Science programs.
