Following simple steps like drinking fewer alcoholic drinks, eating smaller portions and walking his dog more often helped this man lose 220 pounds.

After his engagement ended, Jarred Aslett examined his life. He had been slowly gaining weight since graduating college and now weighed 480 pounds. That made doing things that he loved, such as hiking, surfing and snowboarding, too difficult. At times, he drank too much alcohol to cope. After evaluating his health, he reduced how much he was drinking and signed up for a gym membership while focusing on his mental well-being.

Jarred Aslett tried snowboarding at 480 pounds. It was so hard to snap his bindings he only went on one run before he gave up.At the same time, he joined his brother at the gym. The first time, they worked out for an hour and a half. While Aslett could move for 90 minutes, he still struggled both physically and mentally.

“We just walked a mile and that would be good,” Aslett said. “Now we’re doing 4 or 5 miles a day, no problem, and I take her on hikes on the weekends.” At the same time, Aslett also changed what he was eating, cutting down on junk and fast food and reevaluating his portion sizes. “Therapy has been the most important part of this transformation. Where I grew up being a man, you don’t talk about your issues, you just stuff them down, which led to me drinking,” he said. “It gets harder before it gets better when you’re working through it. … It has definitely been very helpful.”

Jarred Aslett made his Instagram account public and that helped him be accountable about his weight loss. He loves talking with people and learning about their experiences, too.When Aslett first started working out, he went to the gym with his brother, which motivated him to continue. After he started losing weight, he made his Instagram account public. Sharing pictures and updates kept him consistent.

I use to weigh 168 lbs around the tough year of Covid and now I’m 124. Working on yourself works…

If it's true this is fantastic good for him. Has different color hair too.

It’s a choice. Great job on making it happen!

Good on him!

Don’t let laurabush say she cares about any children or girls. Her husband W Bush & she started TWO decades long wars. They killed innocents so their friends could stabilize & collect money there. If there were no Bushes as Presidents there would be no wars! laurabush

Great job!

I always see how people keep talking about lisamiaBTC on Twitter so I decided to give it a try and it worked out perfectly for me also, she knows in and out of cryptocurrency....contact her for more details about Bitcoin investment, nobody handles business like she do.

Isn't this the same as arsonist putting out fire?
