8 months ago I was 245-lbs. Frequent acid reflux and sleep apnea had me feeling like crap and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to be a good dad to my incoming newborn. Since then, I’ve lost 60 lbs., have no apnea or acid reflux, and am loving being a dad! I gotta lift more tho. - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Bloody fantastic

What was your basic strategy?

Incredible accomplishment. Losing weight is no easy task, but having that kind of motivation makes it slightly less difficult. You look pretty Snazzy. Now, go get swole in the weight room, dude!

h-the-great.bsky.social•71 days ago

Well done sir! Been on a similar journey and it’s not easy but definitely worthwhile.

dog1.bsky.social•71 days ago

I'm convinced you got younger 🤣

danielfgom.bsky.social•70 days ago

Massive kudos to you for losing all that weight. It is not easy.

And so glad you’re loving being a dad. Keep up the good work Quinn 👍 💪

callistamoonrise.bsky.social•71 days ago

mattsoft.bsky.social•71 days ago

The crazy thing is 20 pounds was just the beard alone! ;)

Well done! Did you do anything to treat/manage the sleep apnea ?

Congrats.
Aren’t you using your home gym you showed in one YT video?

saifire.net•71 days ago

Wow 😅 I am going through the same transformation as you in the same time period from 257lbs to now I am around 205 lbs. Feels good 😊

Major props!

justingarrison.com•71 days ago

Wow congrats! How much did your beard weigh?

notfridakalo.bsky.social•69 days ago

Damn! Who would have thought that to become a good dad you would have to shed the dad bod. You’ve done amazing!

geodanila.com•71 days ago

Congrats, that's impressive! What did you change in your routine to get to this point? Diet and exercise?

nathanbeddoe.com•71 days ago

I'm losing weight atm, and I can't wait to shave the beard after hitting my goal weight, and seeing what my face looks like.

nathanbeddoe.com•71 days ago

Nice. Looking awesome mate!

outgoingning.bsky.social•71 days ago

Santa became Mr. USA.👍🏻

trickflips.bsky.social•70 days ago

That’s a dramatic difference! 185 at your height is quite skinny! Even just +10 lbs of muscle and I bet you’d feel even better!

drgrahamwalker.com•71 days ago

Amazing! Congrats Quinn! That's not an easy feat to accomplish!
