From 260kg to 140kg: BA Member Crushing It

From 260kg to 140kg: BA Member Crushing It

If there's something we love more than a feel good story of a bloke killing it on Blokes Advice, it's a follow up post showing the boys he's kept the good stuff going.

You might remember Dane Lyons from a couple months ago when we shared the story of him losing 106kg. At the time he told BA that 'he wasn't stopping there', and it turns out the man was correct.

He took to our private Facebook group a couple days ago with an update. Judging by the nearly 7000 post reactions, you lot are as proud as us.

Dane's continued his fitness journey and is now down a staggering 121kg from his peak weight of 260kg at just 21 years of age. In his post to the group he opened up a little further about some of the bad life choices that got him to that stage, which included drinking up to 4L of JD and 30L of Coke every week.

"Scooter bound, couldn't walk, couldn't run, couldn't do anything, couldn't even live."

Dane says it best himself, "Fuck, if i can do this, y'all can as well". He mentioned in his post that the initial support the brotherhood at BA gave him when he first shared his journey was unbelievable and made him want to hit his goals even harder.

At it's heart, Blokes Advice is about connecting average blokes who are facing the same challenges life throws our way. Keep at it Dane, keen to see you turn yourself into a beast in the future!
