MONCTON, N.B. A Moncton man has one last goal to accomplish after losing more than 200 pounds over a two-year period. Connor Terry, 22, spent his high school years trying to keep on top of his mental health, living with anxiety and depression. The physical kind of went by the wayside, he says. I wound up gaining up to 435 (lbs). That was my heaviest weight. A couple years back I just couldn t really take it anymore, I couldn t breathe when I was laying down. Terry made a point to try and be more active, going for daily walks, each time challenging himself to go further and further. He found an interest in powerlifting and eventually competed in the sport.
