Hi, my name is Chad Soileau & in March 2006
I weighed 464 pounds. 464
will always hold a special place in my heart because it was this
number that made me realize that unless I made some drastic
changes in my life I wasn't going to be around in 5 years. I
have since lost over 260 pounds and live a healthy active
lifestyle by running, cycling, swimming, weightlifting and
boxing on a daily basis.
