Rob :Cooper’s Summary
I once weighed 475 pounds, then took action at age 21 and dropped over 300 pounds of fat. At my lowest weight of 187, took up bodybuilding and gained over 50 pounds of lean muscle. Was vegetarian for 12 years where I learned a great deal about nutrition, how the body works and how to burn fat quickly and effectively.
I now blog the entire experience, the lessons, the myths and misconceptions about weight loss and inspire others to take action on their health using natural foods, whole food supplements and physical fitness.
I left the supervisory position to study Computer System Technology at Edmonton's Northern Alberta Institute of Technology where I graduated with Honors in 2000.
I was employed by Market Web Solutions and quickly rose to become Chief Development Officer of the newly growing company. In charge of Development and production web servers, SQL servers, Mail servers and client machines I also developed Active Server Page website for clients with a SQL back end.
In 2001, I was asked to return to Nait to teach Web Development (BCS450) part time in the evening which I did for 2 years.
After volunteering for 3 years, I became a facilitator at North America's fastest growing personal development company Peak Potentials. I was asked to be a member of their traveling road crew who setup, ran and facilitated all the various personal growth events the company had around north america.
While traveling, I built my internet empire and after leaving Peak Potentials, have now turned my full attention to teaching others how to create blogs, market them and share their passions with the world.
I currently have a team of writers sharing their passion for improving others' lives blogging on www.formerfatguyblog.com a new project as I teach them and others how to create blogs on www.blogbuildingbasics.com
