Heath Thompson’s fitness journey started in 2014, and 8 years later he has a whole new body and lifestyle.
“I couldn’t weigh myself at the beginning even at the doctor’s office,” Thompson said. “I topped off the scales higher than what they showed. I imagine it was over 500 pounds for sure.”
It took a lot of hard work at the gym to drop more than 250 pounds. He says he’s now at about 265 pounds and 32 percent body fat.
For Thompson, it’s all about the mindset.
“Motivation is something that comes and goes, but being dedicated to a better, healthier version of yourself, that is something you can control,” Thompson said. “Dedication over motivation all day long. It is nice to have motivation, but when the motivation fades over time, which it does, you still have to be dedicated to being a healthier version of yourself.”
Thompson not only hits the gym, he finds other ways to stay fit by mixing up his fitness routine.
