At 585 pounds, Cole Prochaska’s life was ruled by food. But four years later, after losing 360 pounds, he’s proof that even the biggest obstacles can be overcome. His journey wasn’t easy—it took a broken relationship and a moment of painful honesty to spark his change.
For years, Cole ate mindlessly: five cheeseburgers in a meal, endless sodas, and bags of chips. His turning point came when he realized his weight wasn’t just hurting him—it was pushing away the people he loved. So, he started walking. Just a few steps at first, then more, until he was hitting 10,000 a day.
He overhauled his diet, cutting sugar and processed foods, and focused on protein to build strength. Slowly, his body transformed. But more importantly, his mindset did. He began working out, sharing his story online, and inspiring others who felt trapped by their weight.
Now, Cole faces a new challenge: excess skin. He’s raising money for surgery, the final step in his journey toward confidence. His story reminds us that weight loss isn’t just about looks—it’s about freedom, health, and the courage to keep going.
