I've had 50 more pounds of muscle on my body before, so obviously I had a huge advantage.

I've never had a journey like this before where I really intentionally went after something like this in a short period of time after losing that much muscle. So I didn't know how much, but I was pretty confident that we'd probably be able to get 25 pounds. And we did 20. We did 20 in the first โ
