Father shares inspiring weight-loss journey and life transformation

>>> > > > WE ARE BACK WITH A REALLY FANTASTIC TRANSFORMATION IN OUR COLLECTION “” TAKE IT OFF TODAY.”” YOU ARE ABOUT TO FULFILL A DAD OF TWO THAT TRANSFORMED HIS LIFE AFTER WAKE-UP CALL FROM HIS PHYSICIAN. >> > > FOR THE MAJORITY OF MY LIFE, I'' VE ALWAYS BEEN OVERWEIGHT. AT MY HEAVIEST, I WEIGHED 400 EXTRA POUNDS. I OFTEN FELT SO WORN OUT THAT I WOULD NEED TO SIT DOWN TO ACCOMPLISH THE CUISINE OR TELL MY CHILDREN THAT I WAS AS WELL WORN DOWN TO PLAY WITH THEM. MY SPOUSE WOULD URGE ME TO BEGIN STROLLING, BUT I DISLIKED DOING ANYTHING. IN JANUARY OF 2021, I LASTLY VISITED MY DOCTOR. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH CHOLESTEROL, AND KIND II DIABETES. AND AFTER THAT HE INFORMED ME I WAS ONLY EXPECTED TO LIVE UNTIL MY 40s.

THAT WAS THE MOMENT I KNEW I NEEDED TO MAKE A CHANGE. SO I CHANGED UP MY DIET, BUT MY BIGGEST OBSTACLE WAS THAT I WAS ADDICTED TO SUGAR. I TYPICALLY ATE CONCERNING 200 GRAMS OF SUGAR A DAY. OVER TIME, I DISCOVERED HOW TO CONTROL MY PORTIONS, WHICH GRADUALLY ELIMINATED MY GRAVINGS. I BEGAN WALKING, RUNNING, SWIMMING, AND EVENTUALLY STARTED TOUGHNESS TRAINING. LAST SUMMER, I ALSO FINISHED MY FIRST TRIATHLON. TODAY, I HAVE SHED LITERALLY HALF MY BODY WEIGHT, LOSING 230 POUNDS IN 2 YEARS AND I HAVE ACTUALLY NEVER EVER REALLY FELT BETTER. >> > > WOW >>! > > QUITE THE TRANSFORMATION. THIS WAS BYER TWO YEARS EARLIER AND BELOW HE IS NOW. >> > > HI, LOOK AT YOU! >> > > HI, HOW ARE YOU? THANK YOU FOR COMING. >> > > CONGRATULATIONS! >> > > SO NICE TO MEET YOU AND HAVE YOU RIGHT HERE. >> > > HAVE A SIT-DOWN. SO YOU LOOK FANTASTIC. HOW ARE YOU FEELING. DO YOU FEEL AS WONDERFUL AS YOU LOOK? >> > > I MOST DEFINITELY DO. I MEAN, THE REALLY FEELING OF IT, IT ' S IN FACT AMAZING. AND I WISH TO SHARE IT. >> >

>> > I ENJOY THAT. > > AS YOU SHOULD. AND NOT JUST SHARE IT WITH YOUR LOVELY HOUSEHOLD BUT TO SHARE IT WITH EVERY PERSON SEEING. LET'' S OBTAIN INTO THE NUTS AND BOLTS HERE. YOU CONFESSED IN THAT SHOT THAT SUGAR WAS YOUR WEAKNESS. YOU YEARNED FOR SUGAR. YOU COULDN'' T QUIT SUGAR. HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO SUPPRESS THAT FOOD CRAVING? >> > > IT TAKES SOME TIME. IT TOOK ME DEFINITELY A LOT OF DAYS AND YEARS AND MONTHS, MONTHS AND YEARS RIGHT NOW. I FOUND OUT TO TAPER IT DOWN. AS A HUMAN BEING, YOU TIN NOT STOP EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME. YOUR BRAIN IS NOT ACTUALLY MEANT TO PERFORM THAT. IT TAKES SOME TIME, BUT LIKE I HAD TO CUT IT BIT BY BIT. AND THAT'' S HOW IT STARTED. >> > > YEAH >>. > > SO YOU MOSTED LIKELY TO THE DOCTOR, INITIALLY, OR I CHECK OUT, AMONG THE FACTORS IS BECAUSE YOU WERE ACTUALLY WORN OUT EVERY ONE OF THE TIME. WAS THE WEIGHT AFFECTING YOUR SLEEP? >> > > YES, SO, AS I– I MEAN, WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS LIKE, I HAD TO ACTUALLY TAKE NAPS.MY NAPS WAS NOT EVEN REGULAR NAPS. I NEEDED TO LIKE TWO-HOUR NAPS. >> > > I WAS LIKE RESTING FOR TWO HOURS, IN THE AFTERNOONS, EVERY DAY. EVEN AT JOBS, ON MY CHAIR. AND AFTER THAT– IT WAS CRAZY. >> > > YOU WERE SOMEBODY WHO HAD NEVER EXERCISED PRIOR TO, AND ALL OF An UNEXPECTED YOU BEGIN WITH THE TOUGHNESS TRAINING. AND AFTERWARDS I CHECK OUT THAT YOU IN FACT COMPETED IN A TRIATHLON. AND CURRENTLY, IS IT REAL YOU'' RE TRAINING FOR ANOTHER ONE? >> > > YEAH. SO LAST YEAR I DID A NINE-MILE, I BELIEVE IT WAS. THIS YEAR I'' M DOING >> A 32-MILE. > > >> WOW! > > CHALLENGING MYSELF. >> > > WOW! SO, I'' M REALLY REGARDING THERE WITH MY TRAINING. >> > > HOW OLD ARE YOUR YOUNGSTERS? >> > > I HAVE A 5 AND A 9-YEAR-OLD. >> > > A 5 AND A 9. SO YOUR CHILDREN ARE OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DADDY HAS BEEN THROUGH? >> > > THEY ARE SO INSPIRED BY ME, THEY ARE REALLY DOING SOME THINGS ON THEIR OWN RIGHT NOW, LIKE THE PUSH-UPS AND STUFF.THEY SEE ME DOING

IT AND CURRENTLY THEY ' RE DOING IT ON THEIR OWN, WITHOUT EVEN ME TELLING THEM. > > YOU ' RE THAT EXAMPLE FOR >> THEM. > > HOW WOULD YOU STATE YOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH> HAS CONNECTED INTO YOUR WEIGHT LOSS? > > IT HAS CERTAINLY TRANSFORMED MY LIFE, >> BECAUSE WHEN I WAS OBESE, I WAS MORBIDLY OBESE, SO WHEN I WAS AT THIS STAGE, I SLOUCHED, I DID NOT HAVE INSPIRATION TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. NO SHORT-TERM, LONG-LASTING GOALS, CONSIDERING IT. I JUST FOUND OUT TO SIMPLY LIVE DAY-TO-DAY. AND NOW, TODAY, I'' M LIKE EVEN MORE ENCOURAGED TO ACCOMPLISH THINGS AND INSPIRED AND ESPECIALLY MY MENTAL HEALTH HAS BEEN RELEVANT WHERE LIKE, EVEN LIKE IN THE SIMPLE TASK, LIKE KEEPING IN MIND THINGS, IT TRANSFORMS LIVES. SINCE WHEN YOU'' RE OBESE, YOUR BRAIN DOES NOT WORK THE MEANS IT'' S INTENDED TO. AND YOU PUT ON'' T EVEN KEEP IN MIND POINTS LIKE FOR LIKE YOUR JOBS. SO EVEN LIKE SIMPLE LIKE THAT. >> > > WOW. >> > > I LOVE IT. WE TALK A WHOLE LOT ABOUT HEALTH AND WELLNESS AND WELLNESS ON THIS PROGRAM. IT'' S NOT REGARDING THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE.WE KNOW A LOT OF

FOLKS, OUR WEIGHT FLUCTUATES, WHAT HAVE YOU, BUT WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE TAKEAWAY FOR INDIVIDUALS VIEWING IN THE HOUSE? IT'' S GREATER THAN JUST EXTRA POUND, ISN ' T IT? IT ' S GREATER THAN SIMPLY WEIGHT. > > IT IS DEFINITELY GREATER THAN SIMPLY THE WEIGHT. RIGHT NOW, I'' M GOING THROUGH A CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE I'' M SHRINKING, BUT THE POUNDS ARE REMAINING THE SAME. SO I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE GETTING DISMOTIVATED BY THE RANGE, I WOULD DEFINITELY TELL INDIVIDUALS NOT TO DO THAT. I WOULD LOVE TO ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS JUST TO TAKE THE PROCEDURE, KEEP GOING, STAY CONSTANT WITH IT. BUT DEFINITELY FIND YOUR INSPIRATION. WHAT ENCOURAGES YOU. THAT'' S THE SECRET TO IT.

>> > > WELL DONE, SIR. >> > > I RECOGNIZE. WELL DONE, SO PROUD. AND I RECOGNIZE YOUR OTHER HALVES AND YOUNGSTERS ARE, TOO. >> > > YES.
