Riley nurse loses 260 pounds, prepping for bodybuilding competition

At his heaviest, 28-year-old Kevin Goode weighed 465 pounds. His doctor told him he likely wouldn't live to see 40 years old unless changes were made. "That was really sobering to hear and what kind of kicked everything into gear for me," said Kevin, who then underwent weight-loss surgery and made significant diet and exercise changes. Kevin has now traded in his 6X scrub top for a medium and is preparing for his first bodybuilding competition in October.
