The 100 pound Apple Watch Weight Loss Transformation #Helpful Post

so before I had something to track me I

constantly struggled weight lost my

entire life so I've always been like a

heavy kid like I've tried losing weight

I'd cut stuff I'd go exercise but I'd

always stop and I'd always put it back

on and sometimes I put on more weight

than when I started so the series for

Apple watch has been out for about a

week now while there's been a ton of

heat on the iPhone I think the general

consensus is that the watch has been a

hit we've seen it all over Apple

keynotes

those stories on how the watch saved a

life how it impacted someone I thought

it'd be cool to actually find someone

like that me Gregory who lost 100 pounds

using the Apple watch my starting weight

was 280 I'm down to 175 now took about

two years to get there but I've

maintained it you know ballooning a

little here and there but maintaining

175 and still looking to get better

though now for me the biggest benefit of

the Apple watch has always been that it

encourages you to be active because

chances are you are more than likely

less active than you think I always

thought I moved around a lot or more

than the average person I think a lot of

people like to overestimate how much

they're actually moving around so for me

when I got home and I saw that I only

took like 2,000 steps I was going oh man

and then you see that the calorie rings

only a hundred filled and you have to

burn 600 calories it's a little

disorienting that first I'd start going

on walks too short little walks

15-minute walks on my breaks and that

would help fill the gap eventually I

just want to lose more and start going

more so I'd start walking home from work

and would about be like an hour walk and

you get like 10,000 15,000 steps and

after a while I just got tired of

walking all the time and took up a lot

of time so I just started running and I

picked it up from there started going

half mile mile two mile and then

eventually 5k so when I saw Gregory

story it really motivated me I've been

up the fitness game a little bit more

than I would have liked to admit lately

so to see him go from a mile to two

miles to a 5k oz like jeez he is

completely out doing that his step my

game up

I sent the tweet out I sent a tweet

sharing the video that I actually had a

hard time making telling people about

how I lost the weight so I did want to

share it with my audience and let them

know where I came from and how how heavy

I was how much I progressed and it was

important to me so at most I was

expecting a like

all of a sudden sitting at work and all

of a sudden I see a message and I'm like

oh shoot my heart rates pumping up I can

I couldn't handle it I can't believe I

let myself get that heavy I barely

recognize myself when I look at older

photos and sometimes people will say in

my life that you weren't that heavy and

then I'll remind them and I'll show him

a photo and they go wow that was you I

have a friend from college Evan he lives

in Massachusetts and we haven't seen

each other for a while and you know

we're sitting there and it's like the

elephant in the room no one brings it up

and then we're sitting on a drive back

home one day and he's goes man you lost

a lot of weight huh if I could do it at

280 I think a lot of people can do it

I'd say find something that works for

you if it's an Apple watch that can help

you track your movement or if it's

something like MyFitnessPal that can

track your calories just try something

start doing it every day and keep at it

so with that I thought it'd be awesome

to bring Gregory out to hang out and run

with them see what he does on a

day-to-day because right now my cardio

and endurance I'm gonna admit is trash

so Gregory is gonna kick my butt

all right so brought the kickoff this

run with Greg I'm a little worried that

it's gonna kick my butt but we'll see

what happens I'm gonna try and run two

miles with them let's see how it goes

Mansa were like six seconds in his pace

though like I knew was gonna kick my

butt but going man so I'm bringing this

pace down right now we're about a little

under half a mile I'm breathing need of

tea and he's just chugging through it

like a champ man I got all the credit in

the world great like I knew I was out of

shape but holy crab is just like a giant

slap in the face like dude you got a run

more Joshy murdered me like destroyed me

like I just go home after this

yo Sal was expecting like this calm

peaceful jog

you know he's downplaying it the whole

time it's no big deal I just kind of I

run for fun my pace isn't that fast I

say go it's not that fast

dude there's like Blair Witch footage of

me trying to catch up to you and you

just like knee high running uphill just

booking it so

damnit I'm sweating so much from Gregory

this mic won't stay on so you do that

like if I didn't screw it up you would

have been going the entire yeah

you stopped a couple of times stop with

you and walk I never stop do my whole 5k

let's go straight through he was telling

me how it slows them down and makes him

feel it's actually harder when you slow

down just keep going get over with oh

man I feel so bad like I need to get my

stuff together

either way though man like already from

the get-go a hundred pounds is like a

it's an amazing accomplishment so you

should be so proud for that but the

endurance you built up kind of blew my

mind thank you so everybody out there
