From the headquarters of the Guild of Champions, this is the Chris Terrell podcast.

I am your host, Chris Terrell.

And if you're new here, I've lost 125 pounds after an entire adulthood of constant constant yo-yo dieting. Up-down, up down, up-down again. My gosh. Finally, I just got sick and tired of that, decided I wanted to lose weight and keep it off. I didn't want to gain it back. I really see it's the gaining it back bit. That's the part I didn't like. I mean, yeah, weight loss sucks.

But it really sucks to lose weight only to gain it all back. Eventually, I just started to hate dieting because it just seemed like it always ended in failure. Then one day, something changed. I decided to focus on something different. Now, if you're looking for weight loss advice

from somebody that learned this stuff from a book

that's never had to do this before,

well, you're in the wrong place.

Because here, you're going to learn practical,

common sense weight loss advice

from a daily practitioner of this stuff.

Someone that actually does this,

someone that's battled weight and lost a lot before finally making some permanent,

lasting, and meaningful changes to my life and I stopped at all wasting time hunting around

for the quick fix. I stopped looking for, oh, tell me this two changes I'll make that solve

all my problems and I stopped being so naive realizing, tell me this two changes I'll make that solve all my problems,

and I stopped being so naive, realizing that this problem of my weight, I spent decades creating it.

And not only that, it was created by lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of tiny little changes that I needed to undo in my life.

Now, before I get to the topic this week, I would love to tell you about a couple things that were pretty exciting that happened here.

The first is, my story was highlighted on Good Morning America, which was so cool.

Such a neat thing to see it up

on the screen.

I interviewed with them for an hour.
