Chandler had already lost weight four or five times before he found The Call To Rise. Each time it came back within a few months. One bad day at the office would turn into a full week off track. Then the scale crept right back up.

(Have you lost the weight before, only to gain it back? See what makes this time different at www.thecalltorise.com)



In this episode Chandler shares how he lost 25 pounds in 100 days inside the Call To Rise program. He learned to cook simple meals like chicken and rice with his dad. He stayed on track through a full week without power after tornadoes hit Illinois. At a festival with friends who looked fit on paper, he had more energy than any of them. Brian and Chandler talk through the middle gear mentality that finally broke his all or nothing cycle. This happened right before Chandler moved from Illinois to Indianapolis for a new job in political and addiction policy.
