Ep 9 How I lost 150 pounds | Robert Chase (33 yo)

MOVE EAT GIVE by Interrupt Hunger

In this "How I did it" episode, Robert Chase, a 33 yo firefighter paramedic (who at 4 yo, happened to be the Ring Bearer at our wedding) shares how a moment of self-reflection on his 23rd birthday prompted him to make significant lifestyle changes, leading him from 340 pounds to 190 pounds. Then "not being happy being small" proceeded to add muscle as he became a 260 pound "Strongman".
He talks about the importance of finding workouts you enjoy and finding a community where you feel you belong. Robert also shares about his dream deploying to Antartica in October for 6 months at McMurdo Station!
