90-Pound Weight Loss Journey

Patrick Campbell shares how he lost 90 pounds by focusing on basic health practices and using an accountability service called My Body Tutor.

"I'm down about 90 pounds total, but 40 since I last saw you guys. As Gucci Mane once said 'money makes you handsome,' so like all cliched post-exit founders, I had to get healthier and take it seriously.

I use My Body Tutor. It's been about a year-long journey. It started with breaking all these conventions where I can't BS myself out of doing the right thing because I'm going to have to talk to Haley tomorrow about it. She's not going to be sympathetic - she's going to ask 'why'd you do that?' and say 'you shouldn't do that.'

When I ask Haley about esoteric things like the cold plunging movement, she just brings it back to basics: fitness and strength training. Health is in your control. We're bombarded with either quick fixes or very marginal stuff, but unless you have the basics in place, it doesn't matter. Haley has helped keep me accountable - we're going to do Peloton today, we're going to do this, we're going to do that."
