A 45-year-old dad from Ohio decided to lose weight after he experienced health problems and realized he could not keep up with his active kids. Matt Manning entered a contest on Bodybuilding.com in hopes of not only losing weight but winning $50,000. In a matter of four months he lost 45 pounds and even earned a six pack that you have to see to believe!
You will NOT recognize him in his after photo…TRUST me.

Manning started his weight loss challenge in January weighing in at 213 pounds and 26 percent body fat. To reach his fitness goal, Manning followed a strict diet, followed portion control, exercising regularly, and intermittent fasting which meant he sometimes only ate between 8 AM and 4 PM.
However the journey was a lot more difficult than he expected and he said, "It has to come from within. You have to have that want to. It has to be internally driven. But then you have to do things to build support around you."
The dad accredits his wife, Candice for supporting him and keeping him on track. Today he no longer suffers from cholesterol or blood pressure issues after completely changing his lifestyle.
Little did he know that all his hardwork and dedication would earn him the grand prize of Bodybuilding.com's contest. His kids are even blown away by his transformation and have offered the biggest compliment of all. "They said I look like a superhero now (laughs) which is– when they saw the after pictures. My daughter saw the after pictures she's like 'Man you look miserable, I'd be miserable too if I looked like that."
What an inspiring weight loss story! What amazes me is that this dad didn't just lose weight. He toned up and looks like a COMPLETELY different person! I'm sure he's going to continue on this healthy lifestyle path now that he sees what his body is capable of. The good news is his health is back on track and he can keep up with his kids this time!
