"Bout 2 months ago post injury I got mad depressed, started eating bad, drinking a bit too much and got up to 276 LBS," Turner said in the first photo.

"Small sacrifices!" Turner said in the second photo. "Cut out all the drinking, consistent with my diet workouts and mental health! Back down to 255 and feeling like myself again!"
