Our inspirational guest, Papa Joe Aviance, lost over 200 pounds and went from a size 56 pant to a size 34 simply by shopping at the 99 cent store and walking. After seeing himself on camera during a music video, Papa Joe realized that at 450 pounds, he needed to make a change for his health. He was depressed, full of anxiety, and had low self-esteem. However, with the advice of a friend, Papa Joe realized that despite being unemployed he could buy healthy foods and exercise while spending almost no money at all. After saving all that money by shopping frugally, he rewarded himself with a new shirt.
