Nick Laustrup, who says his drinking and his weight became a problem after he was released from the military, lost 105 pounds

Wellness Wins is an original Yahoo series that shares the inspiring stories of people who have shed pounds healthfully.

One particular day, I remember watching interviews with successful people and trying to understand how they got to where they were. I felt like something was wrong with my life, but I couldn’t put a finger on it. The interviewer asked the actor whether he was more of a beach ball in the waves or a panther on the hunt; essentially, do you wait for life or do you go after the things you want?

For my exercise routine, I try to keep it simple because I enjoy spending time outside of the gym. You can either work out hard or you can work out long, but you’re kidding yourself if you think you can do both. You will burn far more calories super-setting exercises for 45-60 minutes while taking very little rest breaks. You’ll never go wrong with high intensity. My particular workout routine is an upper/lower split several times a week.

Interestingly, when I achieved peak fitness levels, it became effortless to make friends and it seemed like people were more willing to acknowledge my viewpoints. Feeling good about yourself and what you’ve accomplished gives you higher self-esteem. Your increased confidence makes other people confident in you. When you say you’re going to do something, people will be more inclined to believe you. It's the law of attraction. Believe in yourself and others will, too.
