WEBVTT 00:03.440 --> 00:06.940 mm . Yeah . Yeah . 00:07.440 --> 00:10.550 I chose to start losing weight because 00:10.560 --> 00:14.530 it was very unhealthy for me . I knew 00:14.530 --> 00:16.252 it was , I think anybody who's 00:16.252 --> 00:18.540 overweight knows that Where they're at . 00:18.550 --> 00:21.050 I'm 60 years old . I wanted to see my 00:21.050 --> 00:24.850 grandkids , you know ? Yeah . I figured , 00:24.850 --> 00:26.850 okay , it's time I've made a choice 00:26.850 --> 00:29.017 that do not have to lose some weight , 00:29.017 --> 00:31.128 at least a minimum like 15 or £20. I 00:31.128 --> 00:33.183 went to my doctor and Um I asked you 00:33.183 --> 00:35.294 know about weight loss medicine , the 00:35.294 --> 00:38.380 pills , the diet pills and I lost 80 lb . 00:38.390 --> 00:40.723 I did the weight loss the old fashioned , 00:40.723 --> 00:42.750 my no surgical intervention . Just 00:42.750 --> 00:45.070 watching what I ate and lots and lots 00:45.070 --> 00:47.292 of exercise . I started working out two 00:47.292 --> 00:50.050 hours a day , hit cardio . I started my 00:50.050 --> 00:51.939 own weight loss group out here or 00:51.939 --> 00:53.994 workout group . What I first started 00:53.994 --> 00:56.000 doing is I started walking and 00:56.010 --> 00:58.290 exercising . I'm lifting weights . So I 00:58.290 --> 01:00.512 also do a little workout routine at the 01:00.512 --> 01:02.401 house and I've continued with the 01:02.401 --> 01:04.623 running . That's been my main source of 01:04.623 --> 01:07.350 cardio . Also ride my bike . I am 01:07.350 --> 01:10.770 retired so I have made the gym my 01:10.770 --> 01:13.210 job now . I eat a lot of vegetables , 01:13.220 --> 01:17.040 lean meats , um Poultry , a 01:17.040 --> 01:19.860 lot of fish . I like fish salads , 01:19.870 --> 01:22.520 things like that . I kept a food diary 01:22.520 --> 01:24.631 just to make sure that I could really 01:24.631 --> 01:26.631 see what I was eating and where the 01:26.631 --> 01:28.742 calories were coming from and where I 01:28.742 --> 01:31.130 could cut . So I was eating 6-8 small 01:31.130 --> 01:33.352 little things throughout the day , so I 01:33.352 --> 01:35.519 wasn't going home and eating a massive 01:35.519 --> 01:38.940 dinner . If you want to lose a lot of 01:38.940 --> 01:41.260 weight , A journal is the only way you 01:41.270 --> 01:44.580 can be a kind of nobody can really look 01:44.580 --> 01:46.660 at a plate of food and say I'm 01:46.660 --> 01:48.827 consuming so many calories and so much 01:48.827 --> 01:50.993 fat and so forth . Journaling is a big 01:50.993 --> 01:53.570 factor I think for weight loss I do it 01:53.570 --> 01:55.910 more so now there are a lot of 01:55.920 --> 01:59.450 journaling apps out there . I 01:59.640 --> 02:01.696 right down , I put down everything I 02:01.696 --> 02:03.862 eat when you can sit there and go back 02:03.862 --> 02:05.807 and look at everything that you've 02:05.807 --> 02:07.940 annotated for that whole day . It's 02:07.940 --> 02:09.940 amazing what you put in your body , 02:09.940 --> 02:12.107 just watching and paying attention and 02:12.107 --> 02:15.340 being aware of what I'm eating . I 02:15.340 --> 02:17.930 still have my doughnuts in my ice cream 02:18.100 --> 02:20.100 and but I just make sure I do it in 02:20.100 --> 02:22.370 moderation and the journal I think is 02:22.380 --> 02:25.680 the key to success attitude in the 02:25.680 --> 02:28.013 journal . This weight loss is permanent . 02:28.013 --> 02:30.180 I have kept it off for the last year . 02:30.180 --> 02:33.400 I feel better about myself image now 02:33.410 --> 02:36.730 compared to what I had at £245 weight 02:36.730 --> 02:40.330 now is £260. My highest was to 85 and 02:40.340 --> 02:44.230 I've lost £25 since last fall . I 02:44.240 --> 02:47.380 started at about £210 and I'm 02:47.380 --> 02:50.600 currently £120 . I started my weight 02:50.600 --> 02:54.470 loss journey at £277 and as of today I 02:54.470 --> 02:58.080 weight £162 . So now I currently weigh 02:58.080 --> 03:01.800 1 87 so I kind of maintain 1 87 1 03:01.800 --> 03:03.856 88 . So the only thing I worry about 03:03.856 --> 03:06.780 now is my pants falling off from size 03:06.790 --> 03:09.740 48 pants down to a size 42 probably 03:09.740 --> 03:11.907 could get into a 40 if I really pushed 03:11.907 --> 03:14.240 the issue . You have energy , you have 03:14.250 --> 03:18.180 newfound youth . Um , getting 03:18.180 --> 03:21.370 up and doing things is great . Sleeping 03:21.380 --> 03:24.500 is great . I'm more apt to go out and I 03:24.510 --> 03:26.732 want to go kayaking or paddleboarding , 03:26.940 --> 03:30.190 um , entering half marathons , just 03:30.190 --> 03:32.301 going out there and doing more than I 03:32.301 --> 03:34.980 did at £245 . What have I gone out and 03:34.980 --> 03:38.480 ran 13 miles ? No . Uh now will I go 03:38.480 --> 03:40.647 out and do it ? Yeah , I don't run the 03:40.647 --> 03:42.980 whole thing . I rocket , I run and walk . 03:42.980 --> 03:44.924 That's how I do my half marathon . 03:45.040 --> 03:47.160 Everybody works , amazed at how much 03:47.160 --> 03:49.438 weight at boston , how good I look now . 03:49.440 --> 03:51.940 I do it for what ? Mhm . Yeah .
