Before & Afters | Charles D'Angelo

Tom Arnold

Total Weight Loss: 80 Pounds

Non-Scale Wins: "I couldn't see the end of this like he does, to lose 80 lbs in six months, but thought I’m going to try this,” Arnold remembers thinking. “I needed to transition my body.” When he began his journey with D’Angelo, Arnold had trouble focusing on his own needs. He said he wanted to make a change for his kids. “Charles kept saying, ‘No, you deserve this,’ ” Arnold says. When D’Angelo encouraged him to feel healthier and happier for himself, it reminded Arnold of the attitude he needed to succeed in his sobriety. “You’ve got to be a bit of an asshole and say, ‘I’m not doing this for anyone—I’m doing this for me."

Total Weight Loss: 100 pounds

Non-Scale Wins: “I stopped using food like a drug. The biggest shift I made in this whole thing wasn’t just on my plate, but in my head. Raising my standard in my health changed everything. I decided I wasn’t going to tolerate anything less than my best in all areas of my life from then on. As I started living healthier, I started to enjoy my life. I always knew what I should be doing, but needed to learn how to stop the pattern of sabotaging myself.”
