    I have severe. Was over 120 interruption per hour. All docs and techs said I was highest they had seen. I have to have pressure at 16

    What qualifications do you have to diagnose somebody
    Else with sleep apnea.
    It's none of your business. He'll be out of your truck
    In one week.

    At 21 I was 135 soaking wet. At 30 I was 6 foot and 150 perfect.

    Fast forward to today, 185 after losing 45 pounds over the last 11 months. Im still working on that Protein is king and fat/carbs are not. Im trying to win the battle for the future what there is of it. Obesity is such a high threat to health.

    My family have had several who died from Obesity before 40 and there are a number who are over 6 feet and are big. It is one of the hallmarks in my family. I did not get it until much later in life due to premature birth of 3 months which usually are not survivable. They used a artery in my leg with the smallest needle. I spent 5 months hanging on that stupid needle because if you break that artery in a adult today, he or she is bled out and dead in 1 minute to 20 seconds give or take a little bit. It's crazy. They used that procedure to support my lungs with a absolute flood of oxygen.

    Well... At 285 lbs I ran a 5.0 40 yard, deadlifted 785 lbs and bench pressed just under 500 lbs when I was training for foot ball... I'm a big dude, not a fat dude. When I was 19 at 255 with a body fat of 5% the military wouldn't accept me because I needed to be 230 or less.... Everyone's built differently. If you guys met me in person you'd understand.

No way in hell I was competing in his category. There's a video of him jogging around his farm with a 8ft section of light pole on his shoulders. ####in super beast lol
