Matt is excited to make lasting lifestyle changes that will not only benefit his health, but also the health of his young family.
Growing up and in college, he was active and involved in sports, but a desk job and demanding schedule after graduation led to less time for physical fitness. After the birth of the first of his two sons, he said he made even more excuses about not having enough time to make health a priority.
His wife Blakely has managed to maintain a healthy weight over the years and is very supportive of her husband's new challenge. At a starting weight of 272 lbs., Matt is focusing on his health so that both parents can set a good example for their kids.
“I still think of myself as a 20-year-old in a physically fit body. When I look in the mirror and see the weight, it weighs down my self-image.”
Through the A New Way to a New You program, Matt hopes he can be a healthy leader for his family.
