The slide from healthy young man to out-of-shape adult was long and painful. Finally, when his doctor and wife both called him out on his health, Chris Gromis knew it was time to change. ► Premium Fitness Plans: http://bbcom.me/2H8HTTv ► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: http://bbcom.me/2Ha8dg3 ► Read Chris Gromis's Body Transformation Story: http://bbcom.me/2HbfYSE There's a standing joke about people who can't walk and chew gum at the same time. At one point in life, the issue for Chris Gromis was not being able to walk and talk on the phone at the same time. Weighing nearly 300 pounds, he says he'd run out of breath. Then, he and his wife started a family, and he realized how his weight affected his ability to play with his kids. He took his doctor's advice to slim down. Today, Chris is happy to report that he's feeling so good that he joins his entire family for jiujitsu classes. According to Chris, he feels like a new man. | What Were You Like Before You Transformed? | I was in great shape when I was younger. Growing up, I loved being outside. As kids, we'd go down to the river and swim, ride our bikes everywhere. I didn't like staying on the couch watching TV or playing video games, I always wanted to do something active. When I turned 18, I started making bad choices with my life. I started partying and drinking, and all that fitness stuff—all the outdoor stuff—went out the window. Between the ages of 18 and 21, I gained 35 pounds. Later, I got a job that involved traveling. Staying in hotels and eating fast food added up to another 30 pounds. After I got married, I just continued the cycle and went up to 286 pounds. | What Was The Hardest Part About Getting Started | I love carbs and cake and little snacks here and there. Giving that up was definitely the most difficult thing for me. I'm also an emotional eater, so when I was feeling down it was hard not to turn to food for comfort. I had to stick to a strict plan so I wouldn't fall off the wagon. It wasn't easy. I kept failing. I'd say to myself, "OK, I'm going to have a cheat meal." Two days later, I'd do the same thing. I remember finally just looking at my wife and saying, "I need a gym membership. I need to start doing this, and I need your help to keep me accountable." She said, "OK, but you're not going to like it at all." She ended up being a real inspiration to me, always helping me through the rough times, helping me stay on the right track. I was inspired by my kids, too. I didn't want them to pick up any of my bad habits. There were so many times I'd still slip up with my diet, but I didn't let those mess-ups define my journey. I set small goals and strived to reach them. Often I wanted to just quit and grab a whole cake and eat it. But my family was far more important to me than food and laziness. | Bodybuilding.com Signature Supplements & Clothing | ► Signature 100% Whey Protein: http://bbcom.me/2H8tLtc ► Signature Pre Workout: http://bbcom.me/2H8tWom ► Signature Amino Plus Energy: http://bbcom.me/2H8ug6y ► Signature BCAA: http://bbcom.me/2H8uuuq ► Signature Fish Oil: http://bbcom.me/2Hc92F4 ► Signature Creatine Monohydrate: http://bbcom.me/2Hc9bbA ► Signature Multivitamin: http://bbcom.me/2HbfdsH ► Bodybuilding.com Clothing: http://bbcom.me/2H8I15r ========================================­===== | Bodybuilding.com | ► Supplement Store: http://bbcom.me/2H9rqOJ ► Sales & Specials: http://bbcom.me/2H8uyua ► Fitness Articles: http://bbcom.me/2Hbffkj ► Premium Fitness Plans: http://bbcom.me/2H8HTTv ========================================­===== | Follow Us | ► Twitch: http://bit.ly/2q1dttE ► YouTube: http://bit.ly/1RSJFa4 ► Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1lomhpr ► Instagram: http://bit.ly/1LzBxab ► Twitter: http://bit.ly/1RSJQlL ► Google+: http://bit.ly/1NRe8qu ► Pinterest: http://bit.ly/1OOZgY4 ► Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1NRebm0 We are Bodybuilding.com.

Cary went from motocross and free time to kids and family time. Along the way, his diet slipped—until tragedy led him to take control. Read Cary's Full Story | http://bbcom.me/1pzSuNj Cary Higginbotham was in good shape throughout high school and college. His weight had never been an issue. "At 5-foot-11, I'd stay between 175 and 185 pounds, and I always felt athletic," he recalls. "I even raced motocross when I was in college and during the first few years of my marriage, which kept me in great shape." Soon, however, things began to slow down. "My weight issues started out as the now-popular 'dad bod,'" he says. "I was still working out occasionally, but I was eating whatever I wanted. Initially, I only gained a few pounds." But poor diet combined with inertia caused Cary's weight to increase. Healthy activities took a back seat to adult responsibilities, and a desk job and diet of sugary drinks and fast-food lunches set Cary back even more. Binge-watching TV on the couch replaced an active lifestyle. It wasn't until his mother passed from heart complications associated with type 2 diabetes that Cary decided to implement change. This is Cary's story.
