Welcome to my web site! This Website is to provide hope and Strength to those who are struggling with weight loss and to inspire you to reach your own personal goals in life. I am no different from you, I am a hard working; Average guy, with Christian values. If I can do it so can you! Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. My Story Greetings, My name is Efren, and would like to share my story with the public. In 2004 I weighed in at 300lbs, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and if I continued with my eating habits, on my way to type 2 diabetes. In 2005 I decided to make a life long commitment and get healthy through exercise, nutrition and my faith. I joined a gym weighing in at 230 and as of August 1, 2005 I weighed in at 156lbs. I started spending 3 hours a week at the gym and worked my way up. After spending 16 to 24 hours a week at the gym doing cardio and lifting weights, along with volunteering. I just became a certified fitness instructor and feel very good about myself. I think it’s important for people to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel with weight loss. With so many diets and extreme surgeries happening today I think people forgot that exercise and eating right just works, I am proof of that. Recently I ran a 5k run in Ripon and beat my time by nearly a minute. My time was 20:29. This is a big deal, for I was a smoker since the age of 16 and quit cold turkey in March 2005. Included are some photos of before and after. Thank you for your time. Efren J
