Obesity has become one of the biggest hurdles to get through in today’s fast-paced world. However, if you are truly determined to achieve a goal, nothing can stop you. The transformation journey of Anthony Lopez is a standing testament to it. Lopez lost 600 Lbs to pursue his dream of becoming a bodybuilder.

He put in years of hard work and yearning to lose weight. After fixing the bad habits he had over the years and hitting the gym consistently, he is close to achieving what he had hoped to. However, being obese affected him in more ways than one before he embarked on his fitness journey. Recently Lopez talked about these struggles in a podcast.

Anthony Lopez survived on junk food during his childhood 

Appearing as a guest in the recent episode of Flex Lewis’ podcast, Straight Outta Lair, Anthony Lopez talked about his journey as a bodybuilder. When Lewis asked him about his condition and when he became obese, Lopez replied, “I’ve been overweight since I came out of the womb.”

According to Lopez, he was a big baby from birth, and the fact that he and his mother would survive mostly on junk food, added to his misery. This apparently was one of the reasons why his entire family was overweight. Although, he did see the funny side of things and joked, “I set the bar of the weight in my family.”

Anthony Lopez’s fitness journey

Anthony Lopez began his journey to becoming fit when he realized that he could not get heavier than this. It was not as if he was not content with himself, but he just knew it was not right for him. In an interview earlier, he once stated, “I loved myself at that size. I just needed to realize that I had a problem and had to fix it.”

He then came down to 260 lbs and set a goal to get down to 210 lbs. And well, looks like it worked out pretty well for him. He finally points out that the two main keys to achieving your goal are consistency and dedication, and the rest eventually falls into place. He added, “I had to fix years of bad habits, years of using food as a crutch losing over 100 pounds, then using the sleeve as a tool. I’m busting my bu*t daily in and out of the gym to show that it’s never too late to fix a problem you caused.”

As Lopez continues his journey, he serves as a reminder that is never too late to start on the path towards fitness. What do you think about his journey so far? Let us know in the comments below.
