Weight Loss 1 of 3 - Introduction - TheAndySan

http://www.theandysan.com

Due to popular demand, I've decided to do a 3-part mini-series on how I lost over 20 lbs in 2 months without starving myself to death.

The first video will cover the basic premise of the other videos as well as give you guys a quick back-story on what was going on in my life before I made the decision to lose weight.

Initially, I wasn't sure if the Navy was for me, even after I told my mom that I was gonna sign up. I was scared of the long commitment that I'd have to go through or else face very serious career-ending consequences. However, I didn't see any other opportunities for me so I decided to try to lose weight.

When I went to MEPS the first time to do all my paperwork and get weighted in, I was really scared because I got that "this is really happening" feeling when I got on the bus. After I had filled out a ton of paperwork and stuff (including the dreaded "nut grab"), I got weighted in and was at 27% body fat, so I got sent home.

In order to be qualified to join the US Navy, you have to have at most 25% body fat, so needless to say, I was pretty discouraged. After I had gone home and sold all my guitars to make rent for the following month, I told myself that I would take this whole Navy thing seriously and do whatever I could to lose the weight.

So the next time I went in to MEPS a little over a month later, I passed the weigh-in with a 25% body fat. I know that it's right on the dot, but I was never more proud of myself than when I heard that I passed!

In the next video, I will go over my workout routine and in the video after that, I will go over my dieting routine. Hope to see you there!
