About Matt Matt Seaman lives on the Gold Coast, and has forged a path to the top of the IT industry. A talented computer programmer and innovator, Matt has worked with some of Australia 's leading entrepreneurs. Growing up in a small town outside Newcastle in New South Wales, Matt was the youngest accepted applicant to the scholarship programme at Newcastle Grammar School in 1990. Matt's family moved to the Gold Coast in 1991, where he was accepted admission to Trinity College at age 12. Graduating Year 12 at 16, Matt went on to study at Griffith University from 1996 to 2000, gaining a Bachelor of Multimedia at just 20 years old. After a rugby accident in 1994 put him in hospital for nearly a year, he recovered from severe injuries and reconstructive surgery on his hip, back, and knee. During this time, he put on weight, which was a continuing trend until 2004, when health problems related to his obesity threatened his wellbeing. Matt was self employed in his own IT consultancy for over 10 years until being faced with a choice: do something about his health and weight, or lose the battle. This is the story of how he turned his life around.

 

Weight Loss

Starting at 165kg or 363 lbs in March 2006, Matt lost 23kg (50 lbs) in 7 months, between March 2006 and September 2006. on target to reach his goal weight of 130kg (286 lbs) by Christmas 2006.

In fact, Matt not only achieved his goal of 130kg, but went beyond that and weighed in at 123kg (that's 270 lbs) on Christmas Day, a total weight loss of 42kg in 9 months! That's 92 lbs in 9 months!

Since then, his success continues, and has now lost 61kg. That's 134 lbs!

 

My Health

In short, at my heaviest in 2004, I reached 165kg, which is 343 lbs.

After several incidents during which I was hospitalised in 2005, I made the decision, yet again, to do something positive toward improving my health, and managed to get down to 147kg (323 lbs) between May 2004 and November 2005.

But between December 2005 and March 2006, I managed to put all that weight back on.... It was so depressing.

As had happened so many times before, I my weight loss began to plateau. But this time I was determined to find the solution.
