Lost 60 pounds after becoming a dad

Apr 241 min read

5 years ago I was sitting on the couch every night drinking beer and playing video games. Then my daughter was born and something just clicked. I didn't want to be the dad who got winded playing catch. Started walking, then running, cut out the junk. Now I do 5ks and actually have energy to keep up with my kids. Miss the carefree gaming sessions honestly but wouldn't trade this for anything.

Dude, 60 pounds is insane. I'm still working on getting back to where I was before my son was born, so seeing this gives me some real motivation.

That's awesome man, congrats on the transformation. Having kids definitely changes your priorities real quick. Your daughter's gonna remember having an active dad around.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me realize bedtime chases with my kid might actually be keeping me in better shape than I thought. Seriously inspiring post.
