Can you lose 100 pounds when you are 48? You bet. Listen to Jay who being inspired and supported by his son, made simple and effective changes that changed how he feels, the medication he no longer takes, and his hike in overall happiness.
ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
Dr. Pearson brings us another interview.
Jay played a lot of sports when he was younger.
College days he no longer thought about staying in shape instead he was focused on drinking and having fun with friends.
And then life happens and the focus shifts to work.
He would have little bouts of wanting to lose some weight, but it never lasted.
About 4 to 5 years ago Jay hit the 300-pound mark.
His son decided he would get into shape one day and went from 230 pounds to about 150.
Jay thought there was no way he could do that, but his son told him that he could.
With his sons encouragement and belief Jay decided to give it a try.
Before focusing on getting back into shape, Jay had back pains, knee pain, high blood pressure, & high cholesterol.
Now Jay is the smallest he has been since High School.
Since Jay has lost so much weight he was taken off of the medications that he was put on and noticed how much better he is feeling.
Dr. Pearson tells us that a lot of the time people can eat themselves out of the medications they are taking without even realizing that was the main cause.
Jay started watching what he was eating and became more active.
Jay only did simple exercises and they helped a lot.
You don’t need to do anything physically extreme to lose extreme weight.
The easiest part for Jay was cutting back on junk food.
He started noticing a big difference last year, about 3 months after making changes.
Jay has also noticed that the pain in his back has gone away, but his knees are still a little sore, but that is because of past injuries and the fact that he jogs.
Jay feels healthier and has a lot more energy; overall feels younger.
Have someone who you respect and who has your back alongside you.
And don’t ever give up.
No matter what your age is as long as you put your mind to it and stay the course you can do anything.
