\"LosingYep.\u00a0 I managed to lose 50+ pounds in the last 6 months.\u00a0 This wasn’t the first time I attempted to lose weight but, for the first time ever, I had a huge motivator that allowed myself to take the massive action that was needed to make a lasting change.\u00a0 Why am I writing about it?\u00a0 Because I get asked how I did it.\u00a0 I hope what I have done can help you find your own path to where you want to be.<\/p>\n

How did I get here?\u00a0 Well, I ate more calories than what my body needed and I didn’t have a very physical life style.\u00a0 This is the reason that every expert on the planet tries to tell us causes weight gain and we are all like “nah, I burn more calories than that!”\u00a0 A huge number of calories comes from the liquids that we drink.\u00a0 This was where I was getting most of mine – the never ending pop binge.\u00a0 I was drinking several of these a day.\u00a0 While food was a part of it the drinks played a much larger role.<\/p>\n

I tried cutting back on the drinks here and there but never committed to giving them up.\u00a0 I tried different forms of exersize to combat the intake of calories and found moderate success with them (walking and DDPYoga<\/a>).\u00a0 However, I still lacked that switch that my brain needed to make all of this a lasting change.<\/p>\n

On December 19, 2013 that switch was thrown.\u00a0 I was visiting my doctor for a routine checkup.\u00a0 There was a bit of concern about my blood pressure at the start of my appointment but it was still low enough for them to think that it may have been nervousness.\u00a0 By the end of the appointment it was still elevated.\u00a0 On top of the normal discussion about how I should lose weight we were now talking about my blood pressure.\u00a0 He gave me a deadline.\u00a0 I had a few weeks to get to work on dropping some pounds, which he thought would lower my blood pressure, or we were going to be talking about taking pills to control it.\u00a0 I was not about to start taking pills for something that was within my own control.\u00a0 My major motivator had been put into play and I understood it was time to get serious.<\/p>\n
