WEIGHT-LOSS JOURNEY

  • In July 2016, he had lost over 100 lbs
  • Tony now weighs 180 lbs
  • His goal is 160 but he has lost over 120 lbs so far
  • Tony does some basic exercise
    • Crunches, push ups, squats, and runs a couple times a week, staying in Zone 2
      • He is now getting into hiking as well
  • Tony proves that exercise is a poor way to lose weight, and while it can supplement weight loss, DIET is absolutely necessary 
  • Tony cannot believe how he could have changed so quickly
  • It's all about cutting out the sugar and the grains!!!

WHAT EXERCISE MATTERS?

  • Stay the course on Zone 2
  • Sometimes you have to slow down to go faster
  • Learning how to run properly after weight loss is also very important
  • Tony is setting his sights on Mt. Rainier
