Kerry Hoffman has lost 154 pounds and he was inspired to do it after the birth of his daughter. He has always been a big guy. In high school he weighed 250 pounds, but kept in shape playing football. He got married in college and life happened as it does for all of us. He put on weight by eating unhealthy high-calorie foods. He didn't feel good, but kept on doing as he was doing until his father died from liver disease and two weeks later his baby girl was born. He knew he had to do something. And the amazing thing is that he did!
Wait until you see the dramatic difference that Hoffman was able to achieve.

What a difference, right?
Hoffman shared with the Huffington Post that topped the scales at 343 pounds, went to the doctor and found out he had diabetes, which runs in his family. He was immediately put on medication and he vowed not to let the disease beat him.
He started exercising, counting calories and challenging himself to eat delicious food that was also healthy. He knew that in order to be successful at losing weight and keeping it off, he had to make a major lifestyle overhaul that he could keep to for the rest of his life.
Well, amiguitas, he not only lost the weight, he cured himself of diabetes with all the changes he made. He's become an inspiration to friends, family, co-workers and fellow church-goers.
I'm sorry that his father died before he got to meet his granddaughter, but how amazing is it that Hoffman is now a fit and healthy father who will hopefully be around to meet his own grandchildren some day?
