Hello. My name is Chad Smith, and I am the singer and bass player for the band Hemlock.
As of today I have lost 100 pounds! I was at my heaviest at 310 pounds. I am happy to now be at 210.
We shared my success today on Facebook for our friends and fans to see! I made sure thank Dr McDougall and Forks Over Knives for the guidance and inspiration!
My wife and I watched forks over knives and took it to heart.
We lost weight, we gained weight...and we realized we were eating Vegetarian and mostly plant based...but that we still had a lot of processed foods. Oreos are Vegan after all. lol.
We are both turning 40 this year, and we wanted to get our selves together. We started following the McDougall plan for maximum weight loss. And the weight dropped...and is still dropping!
So today I reached my goal of losing 100 pounds. I went from wearing a 2XL that was tight on me to being comfortable in a large T-shirt. I am 6 foot 2, 210 pounds, healthy, happy, and ready to rock!

This is my FB post
"For those of you that know me, you know that I always strive to be a happy and optimistic person. I love to play music and travel the world and I give everything I can into our band Hemlock and the live show. Not saying that I wasn't happy in the before photo, but I just felt tired all the time and felt like I couldn't give my 100% to Hemlock. Living on the road and eating WAAAYYY to much fast food caught up to me....which was kind of funny ...but I realized LIFE, MUSIC and TRAVELLING the WORLD was WAY more important than the junk food. I realized I was holding myself back.
Hemlock was on tour in Europe in 2012. They were feeding us some much healthier food over there. On that tour, my wife and I also watched a documentary called "Forks Over Knives". It made me realize that I needed to show my body more respect by what I put into it. We changed the way we were eating and the weight just started dropping off. I had lost 70 pounds over the next few years. I knew I should lose more weight...I still had some unhealthy chubbiness on me, but I seemed to be stuck. We started following Dr. McDougall's plan for eating (it was very similar to what we were already doing, just a few great changes). In the last 3 months I was able to lose the last 30 pounds. So I am now down 100 pounds from my heaviest.
I've gone from maxing out a 2XL T-shirt to being comfortable in a Large T-shirt. 310 pounds to now 210 pounds!
LET"S ROCK!!!!!!"
