A 110 Percent Mentality

“January 18, 2022. I stepped on the scale: 309 pounds.
Two years earlier I had retired from the Marine Corps after 39 years of staying under 220.
I had become what I used to discharge Marines for.
That morning I made a decision: I would attack my body the same way I attacked every mission in the Corps—with a 110% mentality.
110 pounds later I’m 199 pounds, have a six-pack at 63, and feel better than I did at 35.
If a hard-charging Marine can do it after retirement, you can too.
My book shows you exactly how.”

From 309 Pounds to a Six-Pack at Age 63: Retired Marine Colonel Drops 110 Pounds Using the Same 110% Mentality That Forged U.S. Marines

“Marines don’t give 100%. Marines give 110%!”

That scream from Drill Instructor Sergeant Antoinette still echoes in Colonel Dan Hunter Wilson’s head—nearly 45 years later. In January 2022, the 6’3” retired Colonel stepped on the scale and saw 309 pounds. The man who once ran a perfect 300 on the Marine Corps PFT, led Marines in Fallujah, and retired as the senior Colonel in the Corps had eaten himself into obesity in under two years.

He didn’t make excuses.

He didn’t buy pills.

He didn’t get surgery.

He simply decided to attack his body the same way he attacked every mission in 39 years of active duty—with his 110% mentality.

The result?

110 pounds gone.

Cholesterol from 235 to 171.

Blood pressure from 185/121 to 106/75.

Resting heart rate in the 40s.

A visible six-pack at 63.

And a book that is already changing lives.

A 110 Percent Mentality: My 110-Pound Weight Loss Journey is not another diet book.

It’s a battle plan written by a warrior who refused to stay soft.

Inside you’ll discover:

• The exact “Daniel Diet” (yes, straight from the Bible) that Colonel Wilson used—vegetables + lean protein + portion control that tastes so good cheating never tempts you

• The Basic Daily Routine that rebuilt his body, mind, and spirit (includes a 5-minute ice bath at 42–45°F every morning for unbreakable discipline)

• The wake-up run + garage circuit + 2 hours of Pickleball + iron + wind sprints schedule that melted fat while building muscle

• How he used faith, accountability, and ruthless consistency to power through every plateau

• The same leadership principles he used to turn civilians into Marines—now applied to turning your body into a fighting machine

This is NOT theory.

This is a retired Colonel who packed his seabag for 39 years, led in combat, trained thousands of Marines, and then proved the same principles work in retirement when the stakes were his own life.

He lost the weight slow and steady (never more than 10 lbs a month) so his skin tightened naturally—no loose skin, no Ozempic face, just lean, hard, Marine-ready muscle.

And now he wants to help you do the same.
