Mat's Quest
It's never too late!


          
 Heart, Head, & Accountability!
 


Mat's Quest....

  OK.... So what is this "Quest" all about? In December of 2007, I made the decision to change the direction of my life. More importantly the direction of my health. I spent many years of my life well over three hundred pounds and,  most over four hundred pounds. March 10th, 2008, I underwent a surgical procedure called the "Gastric sleeve". In the following twelve months, through lifestyle change, exercise, determination, and the support of my family, and friends, I have lost  two-hundred and forty pounds. After my jorney to Nepal, Everest Base Camp, and climbing Imja Tse, what is next?


What is Mat's Quest? Mat's Quest was developed to be a motivation to morbidly obese Americans, and show what is possible through Head, Heart, and Accountability. Mat's Quest is a resource for Patient Advocacy, Fund Raising, and Diet and Exercise plans. If you or a loved one needs help in any of these areas..... USE THE CONTACT FORM!

Others..... There are 20 or more story's about people we have worked with in the last year. Two gentlemen have lost 220 pounds between them, and I have two lady's who have lost 100 pounds. This is what motivates me!
