I’m Arthur Shadwick, The Restart Coach™.

MyPurposeFit was born from my own restart.

I was over 550 pounds. I lost over 300 pounds. But the real transformation was bigger than the weight.

I realized my health had to align with my assignment.

As a purpose driven transformation coach and pastor, I help busy men and women transform their body, renew their mindset, build healthy habits, and align their life with their purpose.

This is not just about losing weight.

It’s about becoming healthy enough to show up fully for your life, your family, your vision, and your assignment.

Your body should not hold you back from your purpose.

Your next level requires a healthier version of you. 🙌🏿

This isn’t a filter.

This is 300+ lbs lost. A complete rebuild of my body, my mind, and my life.

I didn’t have it all figured out. I didn’t have a “six pack” transformation story. I had loose skin, hard mornings, and a lot of starting over.

But I kept showing up. And that’s the whole secret.

If I could do it, you can too.

You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. You’re just under-supported. And that ends today.

I’m offering free strategy calls this week for anyone ready to stop restarting alone.

DM or Comment “RESTART” and I’ll send you the link👇🏿

You may be having a tough day, but you are not defeated! God is with you, God is for you, and His love is stronger than anything you’re facing. Stand tall, keep moving, and walk boldly in your purpose!

Save this for the hard days—and share it with someone who needs the reminder.

She never asked me to change. She just needed me to be here.

At over 550 pounds, I couldn’t keep up with my own daughter. I’d watch her run and play, and the shame hit harder than the exhaustion. This little girl deserved a healthy father — and I wasn’t him.

God used her as my catalyst. Every workout, every meal, every hard day… I wasn’t just losing weight. I was fighting for the right to show up for her.

300+ pounds later, the father I dreamed to be became my reality.

And I still have one goal left: to be healthy enough to walk her down the aisle one day. Strong. Present. Still here.

If you’re in your own battle right now — don’t quit. Your why might be closer than you think.

Tap like if this found you today, save it for the days you want to give up, and share it with a parent who needs this.

6 Signs God Is Transitioning You Into a New Season

1. What used to fit doesn’t fit anymore. Old habits, old places, old patterns start feeling heavy.

2. You feel a holy restlessness. You’re grateful for where you are, but you know you can’t stay there.

3. Doors close that you thought were your way forward. This is the one that surprises you: sometimes God protects you by redirecting you.

4. Your appetite changes. You start craving prayer, discipline, peace, and healthier rhythms more than comfort.

5. You begin releasing what you’ve been clinging to. Excuses. People-pleasing. Fear. The version of you that kept playing small.

6. God asks for obedience before He gives you the full picture. You may not see the whole road yet, but you know it’s time to move.

Hear me: transition doesn’t mean God left you. Sometimes it means He’s making room for what He promised.

“Behold, I am doing a new thing…” — Isaiah 43:19

Save this for the days the shift feels confusing. Share it with somebody who’s in transition. Which number are you in right now?

We’re walking this out together. 🙏🏾

The Bible doesn’t say “go to the gym.”

But it says to discipline your body (1 Corinthians 9:27).

It says laziness leads to failure (Proverbs 24:33-34).

It says your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19).

Let that sink in.

Like it if it hit you, save it for the days you don’t feel like moving, and share it with someone who’s been making excuses.

I didn’t lose 300+ pounds by giving up every food I love. I focused on balance: nourishing staples most days, favorite foods in moderation, and a routine I could stick with.

Healthy habits don’t have to mean all-or-nothing. Start where you are, keep it sustainable, and build from there.

When life doesn’t go as planned…

A detour does not mean God has abandoned the destination.

From this weekend’s message:
1. Release the plan you thought you needed.
2. Trust what God knows when you can’t see what He sees.
3. Don’t confuse a detour with abandonment.
4. Let God redeem what you didn’t choose.

The plan may have changed. The road may have changed. But God is still God, and He is still leading.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5-6

Save this for the day the route changes but the promise doesn’t.

🔥50,000. I keep saying that number out loud.

Not long ago, I shared one simple word: “You may be having a tough day, but you are not defeated.”

14 million views later, that reminder is still traveling. 44,223 shares. 71,657 saves. Over 1.4 million engagements.

But here’s what I know: those aren’t just numbers. That’s somebody’s mother forwarding it at midnight. That’s a man who almost quit deciding to stand back up. That’s a tough day that didn’t get the final word.

Family, thank you. For every share, every save, every prayer whispered in the comments for a stranger, thank you.

If you just got here, you’re not late. Pull up a chair. Around here we don’t pretend the days aren’t hard. We just refuse to call them defeat.

We’re walking this out together. 🙏🏾

Losing more than 300 pounds changed my life—but learning how to maintain that loss has been the harder, more vulnerable journey.

People often see the transformation and assume the work is over. The truth is, keeping the weight off requires daily choices, honest self-reflection, healthier routines, accountability, stronger boundaries, and the humility to begin again when life gets messy.

There have been hard days. Days when old habits felt familiar. Days when I had to remind myself that one setback didn’t erase all my progress. Maintenance isn’t perfection—it’s continuing to show up, even when it’s difficult.

Swipe through these five truths and tell me which one resonates with you most. What has been the hardest part of your own journey?

Give yourself grace, but don’t give up. You don’t need another quick fix—you need support and a strategy that fits your life, health, and purpose.

Your purpose needs your health. 🧡

Today is World Mental Health Day, and I want to say this plainly: your mind matters too.

I know what it’s like to carry weight nobody can see. For years, my heaviest burden wasn’t on my body, it was in my mind. And I carried it in silence, smiling like everything was fine.

If that’s you today, hear me: a tough season is not a defeated life. God is with you. Rest if you need to rest. Pray. Talk to somebody you trust. Take it one day at a time. You were never meant to carry this alone.

👉🏿Save this for the hard days, and share it with someone who needs the reminder today.

I’ll keep showing up here with reminders like this, a few times a week. We’re walking this out together. 🙏🏾
