My Yearlong Journey from Death to Life

De: Chris Garrido

Narrado por: Chris Garrido

At 49 years old, Chris Garrido weighed 440 pounds, battled type 2 diabetes, and quietly feared he wouldn’t live long enough to see his sons graduate high school. After the devastating loss of his father, Chris faced a hard truth: no one was coming to save him. If he wanted to live, he had to change.

In just 12 months, Chris lost over 130 pounds, reversed his diabetes, rebuilt his health, and transformed his marriage, family, and faith. This isn't a story about losing weight—it’s about gaining life.

Through raw honesty, humor, and faith, Chris shares the setbacks, the victories, and the lessons he learned along the way:

• How small, consistent steps created unstoppable momentum.
• Why nutrition mattered more than exercise (but exercise still changed everything).
• What it’s like to walk into the gym terrified — and walk out changed.
• The ripple effect his transformation had on his wife, his kids, and his entire legacy.
• Why his mantra, “Not Done Yet,” applies to all of us.

Fit by 50 isn’t a how-to manual. It’s a wake-up call, a source of encouragement, and an invitation to start your own journey—not someday, but today.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, ashamed, or “too far gone,” Chris’s story will show you what’s possible. Change can happen in one year. And it can start right now.
