At age 24, while his mates were out playing sports and living life, Dane Lyons was260+ KGs, couldn’t walk more than 200m and was getting quotes for mobility scooters. Dane’s story of transformation to sub 100kgs is a true inspiration. He was putting away the food and booze at a rapid rate of knots, going from a bottle of spirits a day and having flap jacks for tits (his own words), to competing on the world stage in Transformational Body Building. Mary hooks into a no Bullshit chat with Dane with brilliant insights, inspiration and principles for not only anyone struggling with their own weight, but for life in general. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.Leave Mary a message for the poddy at:www.speakpipe.com/AYBMor email:podcast@areyouboggedmate.com.auand follow her on all the usual socials:@areyouboggedmate
