Hi, I'm Phil. Welcome to my website.

Faith, family, sports, & health

Hi there! If you've stumbled to this corner of the internet let me say welcome! My name is Phil Hull and I'm a middle aged husband and father who lives in Carmel, Indiana.

In 2024, I began a journey to get my health under control. My weight had gotten to a very concerning level and at the start of April 2024 I was 490 pounds. I knew my life was in danger and I began to rethink my whole lifestyle. I began a medical weight management program which eventually led to me having roux-en-y gastric bypass in March of 2025. I have lost over 225 pounds since April 1st, 2024.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

— Mark Twain

Faith

I grew up in the Church and I have spent the last fifteen years working in full time ministry after a several years working in management for a Fortune 500 company. I try to be a faithful follower of Jesus and I'm a lot less concerned with following the latest trends in Christian culture. I have been a worship leader since I was 17 years old and I love getting to serve our congregation on the west side of Indianapolis.

Creativity

I love to create and a lot of my professional ministry the last several years is in creating resources and planning events to help people to come to know Jesus and to learn how to live their lives like him. I'm a firm believer in the message of Micah 6:8: "He has told you, O mortal, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?"

Health & Fitness

At my highest weight, I could not even walk around the block once without having to stop. Over the last two years, I have committed myself not only to eating better but also to consistent exercise. I have completed numerous 5K and 10K runs and in October 2024 I completed my first half marathon. While I am currently recovering from total knee replacement surgery, I am looking forward to getting back to distance training soon.

Instagram

I have been documenting my health journey through video updates I am posting to my Instagram page. I share regular updates about my life and health there. I also love to share about things I have learned about myself through my weight loss journey.

A big part of my journey towards health has been addressing my mental health and a lot of the issues that brought me to my breaking point. It's been important to me to not only address the physical aspects of my new lifestyle, but the psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects as well.

If you would like to follow along on my journey as I continue to work towards my final goals and continue to adjust to my new way of living.
