About this listen

In this deeply personal year-end reflection, Coach Mark Carroll shares the entire journey of how he went from five years of depression, weight gain, and inconsistency… to getting in the best shape of his life at 37 years old.


This episode goes far beyond a transformation story- it’s about reclaiming identity, rebuilding confidence, and facing the psychological battles that come after the fat loss phase. Mark talks candidly about fear of regaining weight, the emotional toll of being out of shape, and the mindset shift required to not just lose 17kg - but maintain it.



In this episode you will hear


  • Why 2025 was the year Mark decided to fix himself, not just help others
  • The full breakdown of how he lost 17kg (37+ lbs) in 6 months—without skipping a single day
  • Staying dialed in during his wedding in Hawaii and another cut for a Bali trip
  • The photo shoot that marked the leanest, most muscular version of himself—ever
  • The surprising fear of reverse dieting after success (and how he handled it)
  • Why most people regain weight—and the exact strategy he’s using to stay lean while building muscle
  • His 12-month plan for 2026: leaner, stronger, and jacked—without rebounding


If you’ve ever fallen off, felt stuck, or feared starting again… this one is for you.
