EP124: From Pre-Diabetic to Peloton: August’s Journey of Health and Transformation

In this episode, I’m thrilled to welcome August, a Weight Watchers success story and an inspiring figure in the weight loss community. August shares his personal journey from being diagnosed as pre-diabetic at 47, weighing over 400 pounds, to transforming his life through consistency, accountability, and a commitment to health.

We dive into how his life as a nightclub DJ, late-night eating, and sedentary habits contributed to his weight gain, and how hitting that pre-diabetic diagnosis became the wake-up call he needed. August talks about joining Weight Watchers with his supportive wife and how the structured plan, coupled with a community of like-minded men, helped him find success and stay motivated.

Throughout the episode, August highlights the importance of small, sustainable steps, leaning on a strong support system, and celebrating non-scale victories along the way. From walking his dog to riding his Peloton five times a week, August’s journey is proof that it's never too late to make a positive change.


Show Highlights:

  • Start slow: August stresses the importance of beginning with small steps and building healthy habits over time.
  • Find your community: Support from his wife and the "WW bro's" group played a crucial role in August's success.
  • Non-scale victories matter: Fitting into smaller clothes and being able to walk longer distances became powerful motivators.
  • Plan for the long term: August encourages focusing on a lifestyle change, not just a quick fix or hitting a goal weight.
  • Keep photos of your progress: A great tip from August—taking progress photos helps you visualize and appreciate how far you’ve come, even when the scale isn’t moving.
