WoW, your a true inspiriation seeing what you have accomplished! I once lost 90lbs going from 270 down to 180. But i let my self go again back u to 245. Reading/see your progress is amazing, If you can do something like that then theres absolultly no excuse why I can't finish my cut down to 180. Hardest part for me has been not drinking, tomorrow will be 3 weeks sober. Thanks a lot bro! Now im pumped to hit the gym again tonight!

So goal now is to get the water weight off from piging out after my show and lose about 16 pounds are so I want to be at 5% before I start my bulk.

[Darnelle B]

You are an inspiration to us all. I am in awe.

Hopefully you can drag a few younger, obese guys down your path! Truly amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[Darnelle B]

Awesome interview!

I just started thinking about the question Dave asked, "Do you think you will ever get fat again?"
Are you going to bulk, clean? What if you would like to eat something that tastes really good, would you do it some time? Even bodybuilders can get fat again. I keep thinking, "I want to be healthy, and being healthy doesn't never mean being fat" But it isn't healthy being overly stressed or worried about ones diet.
