After gaining unhealthy weight during the pandemic, Cleve Hartwick fully committed to FFP in 2022 and dropped from 219 to 176 pounds, feeling stronger than he had in years. After a setback where he regained weight, a wake-up call reignited his commitment. Cleve rejoined the program, found unwavering support, and realized there was no judgment — only encouragement. Now down to 197 pounds and 24.9% body fat, Cleve says FFP didn't just transform his body, it reignited his positivity.
Cleve mentioned some non-scale victories also:
- Back pain is no longer an issue for me
- My asthma is now under control again
- Clothes are fitting much better
- Improved strength to the point of even better than 1st time with FFP
