Just four years ago, Cole Prochaska weighed more than 585 pounds. The scale could not measure his full weight. He lived a very inactive life and ate around 5,000 calories a day. Walking was difficult, he felt isolated, and everyday life was a struggle.
In 2021, Cole reached a breaking point. A long-term relationship was ending, and he realized he needed to change for himself. He started with one simple goal: walking. At first, he could only walk a few blocks, but he promised himself to keep moving every day, no matter what.
Walking soon became a daily habit. Cole now walks at least 10,000 steps every day. He also completely changed how he ate. He cut out sugary drinks, snacks, and fast food. He switched to water, controlled portions, and focused on protein. Later, he added gym workouts. Slowly but steadily, the weight began to come off.
By 2023, Cole had lost around 360 pounds. He says he now feels like “one person” instead of three. He can move freely, travel, and enjoy life in ways he never could before. His transformation has drawn praise and support from people around the world.
Cole says his journey is not finished. He is dealing with excess skin and hopes to have surgery in the future. Still, his message remains simple and clear: keep walking, stay consistent, and real change is possible.
