The Start of My Journey to Finding my Abs..

12 weeks ago, I was nearly 34 pounds heavier. I was 271 pounds, the heaviest I’d ever been in my life. I felt fat. My XL clothes were tight, and I had just bought size 40 jeans (a first in my life). Despite all this, I didn’t do anything about it, until my 3 year old son asked me why I had “big boobies.” I can’t think of a more embarrassing question a son can ask his Dad.

I have three kids, and my oldest is only 4 years old, so I didn’t have a lot of time to dedicate to getting in shape. I thought it took 90 minutes a day, 6 days a week to get into shape. In addition, I’ve never been able to stick with a nutrition or workout plan for longer than a month. Then I read about Turbulence Training

I found great support from Craig and the rest of the great people in the TTMembers.com forums. As I progressed further into my 12-week transformation, I found that my body was losing fat extremely quickly, but more importantly, my mindset was changing. I found myself looking forward to the workouts, and looking forward to eating good foods.

I never worked out more than 3 days a week. In fact, I had overworked myself at the beginning, and worked out only once in the first 18 days of the contest, and it showed: I only lost 2 pounds. For the last 66 days, I really started following the Turbulence Training program to the letter, and ended up losing 32 pounds in that time.

This is the first time in my life I feel like I am in decent shape. Before the contest, I couldn’t do any chinups, now I can do almost 4. Before, I had trouble bench pressing 55lb dumbbells. Now, I use 75lb dumbbells. Finally, the bodyweight 200 circuit that I did as my first TT workout took me nearly 30 minutes to complete, and made me feel like I was about to die afterward. Today, I did the exact same workout in under 13 minutes, and felt ready to do another couple rounds.

Turbulence Training works. I am proof of that. But I’m also proof that it only works if you put the principles into practice. Once I read the book, I intellectually knew how I could lose fat. Now that I’ve followed the program, I know how to lose fat.

Here are the results from my first 12-week transformation contest.
