Hello and welcome to the Chris Terrell podcast. My name is Chris Terrell.

If you're new here, I've lost 125 pounds myself. I'm a weight loss coach and I teach other people

how to get the same sort of results that I did, which is to lose the weight and keep it off. Lose the weight and keep it off. Far too often a lot of people just get

focused on how can I lose the weight? I just got to lose the weight. Let me just get the weight off my body.

Let me just get the weight off my body. That's not going to work. Because if all you do is focus on

weight loss, weight regain is highly probable.

It is not a guarantee. I'm not going to sit here and say it's an absolute. I'm just going to say

it's highly probable. And all of the data would seem to indicate that. Now, as I started my own

personal weight loss journey where I told myself, this is the last time. I'm not doing this again. This is the last time. I started reading and learning and researching about weight loss. And of course, I came across the same troubling statistics that I'm sure many of you have come across as well that, well, if you're a big person, you're likely to gain the weight back. And I'm like, well, I didn't need to read that. I already have enough fear about regaining weight as it is. I don't need any of these

articles and doomsayers and naysayers and everybody else telling me what I got to do. I just want

to lose the weight, keep it off, and live my best life. So before I get into some things you can do to prevent that from happening, to prevent you from losing your weight and regaining it, I need to do a little admin and housekeeping.

First, if you are not a member of my Facebook group, I really would love to have you come be a member of my Facebook group.

You can find a link to that in the show notes or you can go to christerilcoaching.com, click the three little lines in the top to open up the menu and click on free content. There is a direct link to it there. Also, if you would like to help the podcast, giving me a rating and a review on your podcasting app would mean the world to me if you were able to do that and just help me get this podcast in front of other people. And if there's an episode that particularly resonates with you that you enjoy, I would love it if you could share the podcast. I've had some people reach out because it weren't entirely sure how to share an episode of the podcast. I looked at the analytics. Most of you listen to this on iPhones. So I'm going to walk you through it. If you have an

iPhone in your pocket, go ahead and pull it out, tap on the three dots on the bottom right on the

screen where you can see the podcast playing. And in there, you'll see the share button. Tap it. You can

tap the Facebook icon, tap the messages icon, you can copy the link. And you can share that episode

on your social media, getting the

podcast in front of other people. So if there's an episode that's been particularly helpful for you,

consider sharing it. If you just find the whole show to be helpful, consider texting a link to

a friend or a family member or a loved one and say, hey, this person really helped me. Maybe

they can help you. Also, I'm just going to give a little

tease. I have an online program coming out next month, July, July 7th, very big day for me. More on that
