22-Year-Old Who Weighed 435lb and Attempted Suicide Loses 235lb in 2 Years, Becomes Powerlifter
So, too, does losing 235 pounds (106 kg) when you’re overweight.
At the height of his weight gain, Connor Terry, from Moncton, Canada, tipped the scales at 435 pounds (197 kg). That was two years ago.
Now, at age 22, he’s shed over over half his previous body weight and become a powerlifter, participating in his first powerlifting competition in August.
But it didn’t come easy.
Terry faced obstacles as a child before he gained all that weight. He faced mental health issues—anxiety and depression—in high school.
