Hey there! My name is Raheel Siddiqui and I am from the Gaithersburg, MD region just outside of Washington, D.C.
I am recently an online fitness coach and have also lost a total of 175 pounds!
I went from 405 LBS in 2011 and currently weigh at around 230 LBS. I am in the greatest shape of my life and I am looking to help others in their fitness and health journeys.
I am also looking to get into speaking at more engagements/conferences to speak to obesity and health & wellness management for others all around the world. I really feel as though my story will impact others across the globe, and I am looking for multiple platforms to share my story. Please feel free to share my email with anyone who would be interested in speaking with me about my journey!
Below is a summary of my story.
Again, here are some quick FACTS about me that I want to share with you to help give you a background about myself:
· I lost 175+ on the exact diet and exercise plan that I consistently use on a daily basis from 2010 until TODAY.
· I have battled severe injuries such 2 herniated discs in my lower lumbar spine which had caused sciatica down my left leg into my toes. The pain was EXCRUCIATING for nearly 8 years.
· In January 2020, I decided to get operated on by the most BRILLIANT surgeon in the WORLD here in the North Potomac, MD region just outside of Washington, DC/NOVA (DM me for his contact information if you or anyone you know has any spinal/herniated discs issues in the DC/MD/VA region)
· My doctor told me back in January 2010 that if I didn’t lose the weight when I was 405 LBS, I would be “DEAD by the time I was 40”. Low and behold, I JUST turned 40 on 9-1-22!
· I lost my father in my hands back at a family wedding in July 2011, not without promising him I would take care of health before it was too late.
· I have a beautiful wife and 3 year old son that keeps MOTIVATING ME EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE to be GREAT and help inspire others!
· I battled depression, anxiety, extreme obesity for nearly 27 years of my life…but overcame it…by sheer DETERMINATION.
· I used to weigh 405 LBS, now I currently weigh at 230 LBS and am in the BEST SHAPE OF MY LIFE.
· I was in MEN’s HEALTH MAGAZINE (TWICE) in 2011 & 2012…And my local NBC News in Columbia, MD did my transformation story back in 2011 when I lost my first 150 LBS!
