"New ID Required. Reason: Weight Loss"

Here’s an incredible story we recently found…

About a man who needed a new ID because he lost so much weight. It’s one of the most incredible before/afters we’ve ever seen.

For the past year or so, every time I've had to show my driver's license, I get one of two reactions: quizzical, skeptical looks, followed by a raised eyebrow; or a (usually) friendly comment about how I look nothing like my photo anymore.

But in the last few months especially, my ID has started to be more of a hindrance than anything else. It culminated in December when I very nearly wasn't allowed to board a flight to Texas because the agent at the security checkpoint couldn't verify the ID was mine.

So, I finally bit the bullet last week and went to the DMV to take a new photo. In DC, you can't simply request a new photo to be taken if you don't like yours. So, on the application the employee had to make a note about why I was getting a new photo while my license is still current.

And on the form she wrote "New ID required. Reason: weight loss."

The new ID arrived in the mail today. It's a little thing, but holding the two photos side by side was a good reminder of how far I've come on this journey. Also: holy hell, my hair back then....

How to “Spot Reduce” Stubborn Fat

Before you ask, yes… it's possible.

We won’t get too deep into the science behind why it works. But you can combine targeted Red Light Therapy treatments with a healthy diet and consistent exercise to get dramatic results.

Targeted at-home treatments like you can give yourself with a Red Light Therapy belt are one of the easiest ways to accelerate fat loss. One of our favorite belts? Mito’s Red Light Advanced Red Light Therapy Belt.

Belts can be a better choice than panels because of their versatility. You can strap it to the exact area to get rid of that stubborn fat.

That’s all for today!
