“Since I started this journey with BioTrust in May of 2017, my goal and mantra have been to become ‘Less than half the man I used to be!’ I have battled obesity since childhood, and to be honest, I consider myself a food – especially sugar – addict. With the power of my arsenal of BioTrust products and with the help and support of the incredible BioTrust Community and Coaches, I can proudly and confidently say that I have passed that milestone – going from over 412 pounds now down under 200. To say that I’m thrilled would be an understatement. The road will offer many opportunities to stray, but I know now that I must continue: Onward, Forward & Downward!”
