130: How to Better Conquer the Ups & Downs of a Weight Loss Journey with David (Member Interview)


Listen Later

If you’re trying to lose weight, do you have a plan for when you plateau? Or when you travel? 

 

While these might be the last things on your mind at the beginning of your weight loss journey, they can sneak up on you. And having a plan can be the difference between keeping the weight off or putting it back on. 

 

Today’s guest, David, knows all about the ups and downs of a weight loss journey. After his daughter was born, he ballooned up to 300 pounds. After realizing he had to be there for his daughter, he made some dieting tweaks and lost 50 pounds. 

 

Problem is, he plateaued for years… until recently! Today, he weighs less than he ever had since his daughter’s been born… his aches and pains have vanished… and he’s far happier than he ever remembered being. 

 

And you know what? 

 

Since David travels frequently for work, he’s also cracked the code to maintain your weight while traveling. 

 

If you’re struggling to lose weight, or just need a dose of inspiration from someone who’s been in your shoes, listen now. 

 

Here’s what David and I share in this episode: 

 

  • How to travel without gaining weight 

  • Why it’s possible to lose weight and still feel crappy 

  • How to create the right environment - in your home and at work - to make losing weight easier 

 

And more. 

 

Other highlights include:

 

  • How David lost 50 pounds after realizing he couldn’t pick up his daughter’s toys without losing his breath (and how he rekindled his weight loss journey after plateauing) (3:16)

  • Why Man Flow Yoga eliminated David hip and lower back pain (when walking, other yoga classes, and even lifting weights didn’t help) (9:10) 

  • How “bribing” yourself when you can’t find the motivation to start a weight loss journey can kick you into gear (18:20) 

  • Why you need less time strength training than you probably think (23:36) 

  • This simple “Worth It” mindset protects your health and fitness from spiraling out of control when you travel (24:51) 

  • A simple and surprisingly effective way to calm your anxiety down (34:27)
