What is going on everybody? Welcome back to the Mindo from Mac Gross

podcast as always. I am your host Mike Milner. Today's episode I'm going to

tell you what it takes to lose a hundred pounds and keep it off for 10 years and going strong.

I'm actually not entirely sure the exact number close to 100 pounds and I am a little

bit great on the exact timeline as well I'm horrible with dates. So I believe that it's been about 10 years.

because I graduated college in 2006 so I was still

significantly overweight in 07-08 I want to say somewhere in the 2009-2010, it's somewhere in that range. So, and then obviously it took me some time to like fully get the weight off because I had the

We're going to say it's been close to 100 pounds

change through that process so I want to talk about it through my own personal lens and experience because I think it's relevant.

Not to say that my experience will be similar to anyone else's but oftentimes when I tell my

story it seems to resonate and you know a lot of people can relate to the stuff that I tried

I don't know countless times that I gained the weight back and felt like I was starting over

the you know the stress the anxiety the relationship with food the body dysmorphia the

orthorexia like all the stuff that I've been through and so there was a lot that needed to change and I just think that sometimes we underestimate really what we're getting ourselves into. Now, granted, my starting point was not similar or it
