Episode Notes

Adam aka The PHD (Previously Heavy Dude) hit a rock bottom moment in his life where he weighed 327lbs. He then went on his own 100-lb weight loss journey, started a gym and bootcamp, and helped his hometown lose over 35,000 pounds in five years. Now he is a coach and the host of the The Million Pound Mission podcast where his goal is to inspire one million pounds of healthy weight loss.

Quotes to remember:

“Goal-setting is really like goal-guessing.”

“You gotta show up for you and realize that your goals and your hopes and dreams, they’re worth it.”

Accepting personal responsibility is the hardest exercise to do
The one thing we can control is our show-up rate
Measure progress looking back to where you started, not to where your goal is
One domino can knock down another that is twice its size
Getting the initial momentum is what you want to focus on for any major change

Make your goals emotional by asking yourself why over and over until you feel its emotional power
