Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right now. As I was talking to Paige Lopez,
- 0:02Speaker 1: the founder CEO, at a week in one eighty, I
- 0:04Speaker 1: mentioned someone very special, and that is my coach, the
- 0:09Speaker 1: woman that puts up with me from one week to
- 0:11Speaker 1: the next and encourages me and tells me it's gonna
- 0:15Speaker 1: be all right even if I put on a couple
- 0:17Speaker 1: of pounds in a given week. She's the one that goes,
- 0:19Speaker 1: don't worry next week. I'm like, okay, good and she
- 0:23Speaker 1: see me do that a couple of times. Her name
- 0:24Speaker 1: is Jen, and Jen, bless your heart. I told Paige
- 0:30Speaker 1: how grateful I was to her for he founding and
- 0:33Speaker 1: having this company and allowing me to do what I
- 0:36Speaker 1: needed to do to make such a positive change in
- 0:38Speaker 1: my life. But my gratefulness extends to you because talking
- 0:43Speaker 1: to you each week and the encouragement you give me
- 0:46Speaker 1: is it's a big deal. And you know we talk
- 0:50Speaker 1: for twenty thirty minutes sometimes, but from one week to
- 0:54Speaker 1: the next, you have really, really, really done a lot
- 0:57Speaker 1: to keep me going and keep me focused, and I
- 0:59Speaker 1: appreciate you for that.
- 1:00Speaker 2: It's been a pleasure. Pleasure really is online watching literally
- 1:04Speaker 2: the transformation unfold in front of me week after week
- 1:08Speaker 2: has been just so inspiring. You've been fearlessly motivated, and
- 1:15Speaker 2: it has just been Yeah, a pleasure to work with you.
- 1:19Speaker 1: And sometimes I've been a pain in the butt. Be honest,
- 1:21Speaker 1: you know, I'm surprised you've gone this long without sending
- 1:24Speaker 1: people to my house to smack me around. I mean,
- 1:30Speaker 1: because there are times when when I know, I because
- 1:34Speaker 1: my life is so ridiculous. I have got so many
- 1:36Speaker 1: things going on, and I will say, instead of losing weight,
- 1:40Speaker 1: I'll put on a pound, or I'll put on two pounds.
- 1:42Speaker 1: One week I put on four pounds, and then the
- 1:44Speaker 1: next week I took them right back off again. And
- 1:48Speaker 1: I've got that's got to be kind of frustrating on
- 1:52Speaker 1: your end when you see somebody charging forward like a locomotive,
- 1:56Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it's thrown into reverse. You
- 1:59Speaker 1: finished that call with me, and I don't know you
- 2:02Speaker 1: know how much coffee you drink on a daily basis,
- 2:04Speaker 1: but I'm assuming you're mixing it with tile and all.
- 2:06Speaker 1: After that.
- 2:07Speaker 2: The great thing about this program is that it works,
- 2:11Speaker 2: and nothing is linear, right. There's going to be ups,
- 2:14Speaker 2: there's gonna be downs, and that's just the way life rolls.
- 2:16Speaker 2: And I know you have not just you. I mean
- 2:19Speaker 2: everyone has their own challenges. But I mean, let's be fair,
- 2:23Speaker 2: you have a lot going on in your life right now.
- 2:26Speaker 2: I mean, not only do you have two jobs, but
- 2:29Speaker 2: you're helping to raise five children, what two to thirteen?
- 2:34Speaker 1: I believe yesteen and.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Yeah, five children, Chuck, and two jobs, you know, and
- 2:42Speaker 2: I think there's been some you know, health things, you
- 2:46Speaker 2: know that you've had to deal with, whether it be yourself,
- 2:48Speaker 2: your family, or whatever. And so there's never going to
- 2:51Speaker 2: be a perfect day or a perfect program, like you
- 2:56Speaker 2: just have to trust that it works. They'll be setbacks
- 2:59Speaker 2: and that's okay because that's that's what life is about.
- 3:02Speaker 2: It's just about rolling with the punches. And if there's anyone,
- 3:05Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just amazed. Every time I got off
- 3:08Speaker 2: the phone with you, I'm like, oh my gosh, I
- 3:10Speaker 2: just want to shout out to the world, like how
- 3:14Speaker 2: other people who have dealt with what you have dealt
- 3:16Speaker 2: with and still been on the program. I mean, you've
- 3:19Speaker 2: been diligent. I'm like, how on earth? I ask you
- 3:22Speaker 2: every week and you know that, Chuck, right, I'm like,
- 3:25Speaker 2: how are you doing this? How are you doing this?
- 3:26Speaker 2: How did you lose three pounds? And you're like, but
- 3:28Speaker 2: it was just three pounds, And I'm like, Jock, you've
- 3:30Speaker 2: lost three pounds and X, Y and Z happened. So
- 3:33Speaker 2: I'm always amazed at how you just I mean, you're
- 3:36Speaker 2: like the most resilient person I've had, So are you
- 3:40Speaker 2: paying the neck? No, I'm always eager to kind of
- 3:45Speaker 2: peek in and see that you've you know, survived the
- 3:48Speaker 2: week and you have you show up. You show up
- 3:52Speaker 2: just with verb and energy and vibrancy, and you use
- 3:57Speaker 2: that word. You're like, you feel vibrant now. And I
- 4:00Speaker 2: feel like in the beginning there might have been I
- 4:05Speaker 2: can't really recall the level of it, but I believe
- 4:07Speaker 2: there was some sort of hesitancy there that this would
- 4:10Speaker 2: work for you. Yeah, I was, Yeah, you were, you were,
- 4:14Speaker 2: And then that was cool for me because that that
- 4:17Speaker 2: promotes a challenge for me, like to help you gain
- 4:20Speaker 2: the confidence in yourself that you can do this, and
- 4:24Speaker 2: you did it, showed up and you were like, I
- 4:27Speaker 2: think I might want to get into a size forty,
- 4:28Speaker 2: but I don't. I think that's a pipe dream. And
- 4:30Speaker 2: I think that was like almost forbad on what you
- 4:32Speaker 2: said yep, and you're what size of you in today, chuck?
- 4:37Speaker 1: Thirty eight?
- 4:38Speaker 2: Thirty eight?
- 4:39Speaker 1: That is three followed by an eight. Yes at thirty eight,
- 4:44Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm stupid, gleeful, giddy because I never
- 4:49Speaker 1: ever thought the thirty eight would happen. I really didn't.
- 4:52Speaker 1: And uh, yeah, those three pound weeks were a bit
- 4:56Speaker 1: frustrating because I always, you know, I want to reach
- 4:58Speaker 1: for the stars and I but the three pound weeks
- 5:01Speaker 1: or what took me from two seventy eight when you
- 5:03Speaker 1: and I started together to two thirty today? And yep,
- 5:06Speaker 1: you know, I'm a heartbeat away from hitting that fifty
- 5:08Speaker 1: pound mark. And yeah, I just I cannot believe the
- 5:12Speaker 1: me that is in the mirror now.
- 5:14Speaker 2: I was that person that I mean, I'll be honest.
- 5:17Speaker 2: I didn't have, you know, a lot of weight to
- 5:19Speaker 2: lose or anything, but I felt it was important and
- 5:22Speaker 2: I think we all do, you know, we need to
- 5:24Speaker 2: know the structure of the layout of the program, you know,
- 5:27Speaker 2: the eating consistently throughout the day, the weighing new proteins,
- 5:30Speaker 2: you know, I all of that was fascinating to me.
- 5:33Speaker 2: I had died in the past, but not quite to
- 5:35Speaker 2: this extent. So My husband was like kind of fascinated
- 5:38Speaker 2: by what I was doing, and I was basically cooking
- 5:40Speaker 2: for I. Basically he's a shue. He likes to cook
- 5:43Speaker 2: to but I do most of it. And he got
- 5:46Speaker 2: on the program with me, okay, and he lost forty pounds.
- 5:50Speaker 1: I got frustrated in not being able to get past
- 5:53Speaker 1: you know, when I was up at two seventy eight
- 5:55Speaker 1: because I was I wasn't eating much. I was eating
- 5:58Speaker 1: the wrong stuff at the wrong time, is exactly what
- 6:00Speaker 1: it was. There was no breakfast within an hour of
- 6:03Speaker 1: waking up. I would wake up, you know, you get
- 6:06Speaker 1: up at six am, and I would finally eat at
- 6:09Speaker 1: nine pm. And it was usually something that came at
- 6:12Speaker 1: me through a fast food window and I would cram
- 6:14Speaker 1: that in my face and then go to sleep on it.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Our body literally needs the protein, it needs only a
- 6:20Speaker 2: certain amount of carbs, and you know, just the mindfulness
- 6:24Speaker 2: that goes along with what we're putting in our body,
- 6:26Speaker 2: you know, for our health. I think that that that
- 6:30Speaker 2: you gain that sense of awareness and body awareness too,
- 6:35Speaker 2: like when you eat something that your body does. You know,
- 6:37Speaker 2: when you're eating clean like you do on this program, Proteins,
- 6:42Speaker 2: carbio vegetables, healthy fats, like, that's what your body creates.
- 6:47Speaker 2: And then when you reintroduce certain foods, maybe you do
- 6:50Speaker 2: have something that's you know, a little higher in carbs,
- 6:51Speaker 2: a little high in sugar, you might find your body
- 6:54Speaker 2: doesn't exactly react well to it. At least I found
- 6:56Speaker 2: out that way. Like bread. I'll have bread, occasionally, I'll
- 7:00Speaker 2: have pizza. No problems with that. No food is bad,
- 7:04Speaker 2: but I do find that bride does not make me
- 7:07Speaker 2: feel great, so I steer clear of it.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Within moderation. No food is bad. And that's that is
- 7:12Speaker 1: something else that uh, you know, we talked about. And
- 7:17Speaker 1: I when I eat a couple of squares of pizza,
- 7:20Speaker 1: I can eat a couple of squares of pizza, whereas
- 7:23Speaker 1: a year ago, I'm not joking, jin I would have
- 7:25Speaker 1: eaten the pizza. But you restructure yourself with Awaken one
- 7:32Speaker 1: eighty you you you change your your your body just
- 7:37Speaker 1: it doesn't want it anymore. And this is what Paige
- 7:40Speaker 1: and I were talking about. With all, you know, the
- 7:41Speaker 1: craze with the shots. Now everybody's taking the diabetic medication
- 7:44Speaker 1: so they can lose weight. I was so happy to
- 7:47Speaker 1: not take diabetic medication. Anymore. It was wonderful and I
- 7:50Speaker 1: don't need it because I changed my body, I changed
- 7:53Speaker 1: my eating patterns. But when you stop taking shots, you
- 7:56Speaker 1: put the weight back on. With Awaken one eighty, changing
- 7:59Speaker 1: your yourself, your mind, your patterns, and everything else. I will.
- 8:06Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a fatty guy ever. Again,
- 8:08Speaker 1: It's not going to happen just because I'm not going
- 8:10Speaker 1: to sit down and consume the entire of anything.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Yeah. I feel like that's a byproduct of this program
- 8:16Speaker 2: as well. You just you you gain the knowledge and
- 8:20Speaker 2: the education around what healthy eating looks like. And instead
- 8:24Speaker 2: of wondering how, you know, how do I get rid
- 8:26Speaker 2: of this weight, it's like, well, you now have a
- 8:28Speaker 2: kind of this program will always be there for you.
- 8:31Speaker 2: You know, the if anything, if you did gain a
- 8:33Speaker 2: few pounds, like you know exactly how to take it
- 8:35Speaker 2: back off. So that that's just you know, empowerment right there,
- 8:39Speaker 2: which I think is one of the reasons why I
- 8:42Speaker 2: really love, you know, this job is because I don't know,
- 8:45Speaker 2: I don't just get to see people transform. And it's
- 8:48Speaker 2: not just the weight. I know we have weight goals,
- 8:50Speaker 2: but it is you know, we want to get you
- 8:53Speaker 2: through certain weight and the healthy ranges, you know, which
- 8:57Speaker 2: is great, but it's all of the behind the scene stuff, right,
- 9:01Speaker 2: It's it's the non scale goals that you achieve that
- 9:05Speaker 2: you're you know, you don't even realize you You like
- 9:08Speaker 2: when you told me one time, like you walk by
- 9:10Speaker 2: the mirror, you didn't even recognize yourself. It's like, whoa,
- 9:12Speaker 2: who's that guy? You know? But also the empowerment that
- 9:16Speaker 2: comes from learning through the program. You know, you you
- 9:22Speaker 2: now have the power to like what you have the
- 9:26Speaker 2: ability to know what you're going to put in your
- 9:27Speaker 2: body and you know how it's going to respond, and
- 9:30Speaker 2: you know like you can you can do more with less, really, and.
- 9:33Speaker 1: You're not starving. And I want to make sure that
- 9:35Speaker 1: I say that very clearly to everyone. At no point
- 9:39Speaker 1: after probably the first week, and it was all in
- 9:42Speaker 1: my mind the first week, I was like, man, I'd
- 9:45Speaker 1: like to have more to eat. But after I got
- 9:48Speaker 1: past that first week or so, seriously, I have not
- 9:51Speaker 1: been hungry. I have not gone, oh, I've got to
- 9:53Speaker 1: have food. You're very fulfilled. This this whole thing is
- 9:57Speaker 1: planned out very well, the timing. If you follow the plan,
- 10:01Speaker 1: you're not walking around starving all the time. I promise
- 10:04Speaker 1: you that I wouldn't tell you that if it wasn't true.
- 10:08Speaker 1: I'm not one to throw around the L word very often,
- 10:11Speaker 1: but I told Paige I love her for having this company,
- 10:14Speaker 1: for the difference that she's made in my life. And Jen,
- 10:16Speaker 1: I want to tell you that too. I love you
- 10:18Speaker 1: for the for the weekly encouragement, for sometimes just listening
- 10:22Speaker 1: to me whine, for everything that you did to take
- 10:25Speaker 1: me from what I was to what I am and
- 10:27Speaker 1: what I'm going to be the rest of my life.
- 10:30Speaker 1: I'm so appreciative.
- 10:32Speaker 2: And I agree, Chuck, I agree. We have definitely a
- 10:35Speaker 2: Cyndiata kind of a relationship. You know, we week after
- 10:39Speaker 2: week though. I have to tell you, it has been
- 10:41Speaker 2: a pleasure for me working with you because you know,
- 10:45Speaker 2: you just show up and shine no matter what, like
- 10:50Speaker 2: just consistently motivated and you know, fiercely determined, and it's
- 10:56Speaker 2: just been really a delight just to see that show
- 11:00Speaker 2: up in you week after a week, and we show
- 11:02Speaker 2: up together. But you have done all of the work,
- 11:06Speaker 2: so you should be so proud. I'm so proud of you.
- 11:08Speaker 1: That is Jen. She is my coach. And thank you,
- 11:09Speaker 1: Jen for your time tonight. You've been a very very
- 11:12Speaker 1: big part of this big change that has occurred.
