We have tens-of-thousands of touching stories from our customers. Each one inspires us to do our absolute best here at V Shred to provide you with top-notch exercise programs, quality supplements, and only the best community of support and customer service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In honor of Veterans Day, I want to share an incredibly touching transformation from a customer named Chris.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chris is one of our V Shred members and a U.S. Veteran that served our country for almost 14 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

His story touched me so much that I asked him to sit down and do <\/span>a video interview<\/span> that I could share with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

After two tours to Afghanistan, two tours to Iraq, and being stationed all over the world serving our country and fighting for our freedom, Chris was left with PTSD that led to emotional pain, addiction, and a man in the mirror he could barely recognize<\/span>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cI was in a really bad spot after the service.\u00a0 I was using a lot to self medicate. Slowly but surely I put on the pounds and got horribly out of shape,\u201d <\/span><\/i>says Chris.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Chris knew he had to do something to get his life back. He happened to run across a V Shred advertisement for our<\/span> body type quiz<\/b><\/a>, took it, and decided to start the <\/span>V Shred Ripped In 90 Days program.<\/b><\/p>\n

It took him a little while to get going. He even stopped and restarted a couple of times. But with the support of friends, family, and our V Shred community, Chris completed the program, <\/span>and<\/i><\/b> in only 4 months lost 43 pounds!!\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>I know his story is going to touch and inspire you!! <\/b><\/p>\n
