Two fathers and friends decided to take their bond to the point of taking charge of their health, and together managed to lose 300 pounds (about 140 kg) through walking.
The two friends did not have any surgery or medication.
“It’s a daily challenge, but it’s important to seek help. […] We went to see a nutritionist and at first it was painful, so much so that I would walk two blocks, come back home and I would have pain everywhere, but I kept going and at some point, you see that it gets better and you push the distances a little further,” explained one of the two men.
Their initiative dates back a year and a half. Pierre, the second father, had the idea because of a photo that had an impact on him.
“It’s a photo that was taken by a friend during a Rouge et Or game, and when he sent it to me afterwards, I was scared. I was scared for my health, I was scared of dying, and that was the trigger,” he said.
Both men are very proud of their accomplishment.
