I had struggled with my weight my whole life. I enjoyed working out every now and then but was seriously overweight and struggled to feel confident. I had two little boys (one was born just weeks before I started), and I felt that I needed to be a better example for them. I wanted to be stronger and have more energy. I was really in one of the lower points of my life emotionally and physically because of my lack of confidence.

A few years before MyBodyTutor, I had lost about 50 pounds just by “eating less” and trying workout programs online. It worked for a few months, but I honestly had no system to follow and later that year I gained it all back. I couldn’t tell you how I lost the weight in the first place (other than just “eating less”), so there was no way for me to recreate or sustain it.

I heard about MyBodyTutor from a podcast a few months before joining. When my son was born, my wife and I were sitting in the hospital with him, talking about our lives. It was there, in the hospital, that we decided we needed to change—and that we would do it together.

I wanted to create a system I could follow forever. I have a dynamic life—I’m a business owner and father of two kiddos—so I needed something that could work in any circumstance.

I remember looking at the price with my wife and hesitating for a split second. But then, we considered the cost (emotionally, physically, and financially) of doing nothing, and we decided signing up wasn’t even a question. We just did it.

I started at 248 pounds and got down to 187 (61 pounds down!). After that point, I did a clean bulk and leveled out around 200 pounds with much less body fat and significantly more muscle than before. Very happy to be where I’m at.

My habits became unbreakable. My wife and I learned how to eat confidently whether we were at home in perfect circumstances or eating out on the road (which we do a lot with our work). We developed workout habits that we can stick to and enjoy every day (all from our home gym). I got into distance running in the process and ended up running my first two marathons (and still run 20–25 miles a week to this day).

We recently started a tech company and our lives have gotten chaotic, so the biggest win for me is that we have a foundation of habits that we’ve stuck with—even with life being crazy. We can do it for the rest of our lives.

It was amazing for me to be able to get daily feedback. Having that quick of a feedback loop from my tutor was amazing. It was a great way to celebrate wins, answer questions, and get guidance when I needed it. I felt that everyone was supportive and there to see me win.

It was also important to me that the plan was my own. I built this system I follow with my tutor around my needs and my preferences (to this day I still have a burger night and ice cream night every week and I feel amazing). My relationship with food and eating has never been better.

It’s the best investment you can make. At the risk of sounding over the top, it really changed my life. I’m a stronger dad, husband, and business owner now than ever before. I was scared to sign up because I thought I’d have to drastically transform my life to get these results, but MyBodyTutor helped me design my life around what I was trying to accomplish—and made it possible for me to get there in a way I can stick with for the rest of my life.
