Sport: Bodybuilding
Age: 18
Products used: AminoBoostXXL, NO7Rage, MuscleDefender, WheySmooth, FirstString, Joint Flexibility Plus

"As we all know it is very hard to find the synergistic supplement stack. dotFIT guided me to two 1st place victories in the March 2009 NPC Western States Natural Bodybuilding Show. The AminoBoost is perfect with the NO7Rage pre-workout along with just the AminoBoost post-workout before cardio. The WheySmooth protein is the best tasting protein I have ever had. Stack WheySmooth with MuscleDefender and you'll be ready to train again! Both flavors are out of this world!

The vitamins I take from dotFIT help tremendously as well and I think no matter what your goals are, vitamins are a necessity. In particular, I personally noticed a significant difference in adding the Joint Flexibility Plus to my daily intake. Within the first week of taking it, I could feel a major difference! In the off-season now, as I'm getting ready for my next show, I have no problem putting down two FirstString shakes a day! The thing I like about them is that they are easy on the stomach, but still contain high macro nutrient ratios, keeping the calories up. Perfect for pre/post Workout or as a meal replacement!
If you haven't tried any of these products, you need to! "

"After 28 years in the fitness industry and writing two books on how to lose weight and get fit, I finally found the solution to getting optimal results and it's called dotFIT! This truly unique program will help you achieve your goals or you will know exactly why you didn't. The fitness intelligence technology will also tell you how to adjust your program accordingly. After a month on the program, I was not on target to achieve my personal goal of dropping 10 pounds so the program actually told me that I had to choose between increasing my activity level, reducing my caloric intake or extend the amount of time it would take me to achieve my goals. I made the necessary adjustments and got to my goal weight in two weeks. Am I a believer? I am now a part of the dotFIT team. You bet I am!"

"In mid 2004 I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure (CHF), which was pretty much of a shock at 59 years old. I decided to do some of my own research on the Internet, and learned to my dismay that if you developed CHF before you were 60 years old, generally you had 5 to 7 years to live. My ejection fraction, which as I understand it, is the amount of blood being pumped from the heart, was 19% as determined by my first heart cath. Not good. A normal ejection fraction is about 55% - 60%, so my heart was functioning at about 1/3 of normal. The cause? The doctor didn't know, but I said I was either born with it or it might have been a virus. As a practical matter-it didn't matter.

The biggest immediate threat to my life was cardiac arrithmia, and in December of 2004, my new best friend became my pacemaker/defibrillator. My cardiologist prescribed Lipitor and Coreg, which I was told was pretty much of a miracle drug for CHF.

To condense a few years into a few paragraphs there were lots of struggles, most of them mental, but a few physical as well. One of the side effects of Coreg was depression which I had struggled with previously, and that meant taking on an anti-depressant as well. When my Coreg was being increased over time, it was difficult to concentrate and I just couldn't get enough sleep. As you might expect, I put on a few pounds, but not a lot, maybe 5 or so. But, somewhere along this journey, there was a sort of awakening. I needed to start taking better care of myself physically.

Certainly, my wife and kids with their regular exercise routines and healthy eating, had a positive impact on me. I had said many times, if I could just get rid of that small tire around my 38 inch waist, I would be so happy. I was 5' 10" and weighed just a little under 190 pounds.

In January of 2008 my most precious, pregnant daughter, gifted me her well worn calorie-tracking armband. This was an eye opener for me. I had heard numerous times from my son that weight loss was all about "calories in and calories out". I am absolutely convinced that our nationwide obesity problem is mostly related to having no idea how many calories we are taking in----and once they are in, how difficult it is to burn them off. Again my very influential son said to me, "It's a lot easier not to eat the calories in the first place than it is to burn them off!"

So I started eating more consciously. I carefully began watching the number of calories I burn while keeping an eye on the calories each food I normally eat contains. I made some simple portion size and meal timing adjustments to create a lasting calorie deficit and prevent hunger, and I now exercise at least 5 times a week (some cardio and some resistance training).

As of this writing, I am 63 years old, I weigh 167 pounds, I have a 32 inch waist, and this morning I FOUND AN AB!!

Thanks to the weight loss, better food choices, exercise, Coreg, and the Pacemaker/Defibrillator, my ejection fraction is at 50%, just 5 percentage points shy of "normal'! I'm told that's a little unusual, but I'm certain it's a result of all of the steps I've taken over the past couple of years.

(Oh, and I also experienced one more side benefit. In the past, I grew colon polyps like a wheat field--- 17 of them in 3 years. This past year-none. The Doctor tells me it's the change of diet and the weight loss. The good news just keeps on coming!)

LISTEN UP CHF PATIENTS. I am the classic example of, "If I can do this---so can you." The best recommendation I can give is to be very aware of your "calories in and calories out", keep a positive attitude, and believe you can get better."

"In the past to lose weight, I would always try the "quick fix" or fad diets. I would basically starve myself and/or over-do it in the gym. The dotFIT programs taught me how to control my cravings and not necessarily diet, but control my portions. I was always so scared of the scale in the past. I would limit myself to weighing once a month and would practically ignore the numbers. "Numbers don't matter, it's how my clothes fit"...which is somewhat true, but my clothes were too tight! In this program, I would weigh myself every day. I am no longer scared of the scale! I learned about my body and how what I ate affected my body. I was able to adjust my eating and daily routine based on this. I would highly recommend this program to others and I have! The best thing about my success is that I am excited to try on clothes. I would always be somewhat embarrassed to say I'm a size 10 or a 12. Now I am ecstatic to say I am a 6!!! I started this program at 171 pounds and currently weigh in at 153. It's amazing to me. I haven't been this size since high school. I feel so great about myself. Thank you to everyone that contributed to my success!! "

How dotFIT Me Sets Your Goal & Keeps You on Track
Your estimated average daily energy expenditure (expected calories burned) is a calculation taken from your personal statistics and a complete week's view of your typical daily activities.

Why We Eat When We Know We Shouldn't
I'm full, so why do I keep eating?
There are many things that trigger us to eat. Maybe you were taught to clean your plate, or maybe everyone in your family always ate second helpings. Sights, sounds, smells, situations, locations, emotions- all may trigger appetite, which is the desire to eat.(1,2) It is important to understand what drives appetite so as to minimize the negative impact of an appetite gone awry. Before we get too far into this topic, let's get a little terminology out of the way...
Don't Just Sit There, Move!
Weight control is possible without traditional exercise (though there's no substitute for true exercise). Somehow during the last few decades, somewhere between 20 and 40 years of age, you've gained about 20 pounds. This didn't have to happen--if you had walked an average of 150 more steps daily (which takes about three minutes) during a period you would normally have been sitting, chances are you would still have that same 20-year-old body...

"I am a competitive barefoot waterskier. Weight management is crucial for me - less weight equals better performance and less chance of injury.

One year ago I started training for the World Barefoot Waterskiing Championships in Otaki, New Zealand. While I was training I was able to maintain my goal competition weight, while maximizing my strength and fitness level using the dotFIT program.

In February 2009, I earned a silver and a bronze medal at the World Championships, and I am currently the #2 ranked senior women's barefoot waterskier in the world.

The dotFIT program was a major factor in accomplishing my goals."

Products used: ActiveMV, dotFIT bars, ThermoShock

"I am a world ranked barefoot waterskier and commercial airline pilot. Both of these require proper weight management and nutrition.

Last year, after getting injured, I put on 16 lbs of unhealthy weight in just 16 weeks. When I went to my FAA medical screening the doctor informed me that my blood pressure was border line high. I started the dotFIT program and lost over 41 lbs! More importantly I was able to keep the weight off! I've tried every diet under the sun and the dotFIT program is the only program that worked for me. The main reason the dotFIT program works is because they don't try to fit me into their program - they fit their program to me ! As my dotFIT coach, Tony Chemer, told me, "You can eat anything you want, just not as much as you want!"

dotFIT has changed my life, I was able to reach a #6 World ranking in barefoot waterskiing this year, and I credit the dotFIT program to getting me there !"

Age: 34
Height: 5'9"
Starting weight: 150 lbs
Ending weight: 135 lbs

"At 5'9" and fluctuating between 150 and 155 lbs I considered myself a healthy, athletic, in-shape woman. I lived a fairly active lifestyle, running an occasional 5k and hitting the gym a couple of times per week. I loved to eat and drink and knew if I worked out I could keep from gaining a significant amount of weight.

After moving in with my boyfriend a year ago I fell into a comfort zone of coming home from work and making a big dinner each night. I was introduced to the world of desserts as it was customary for my boyfriend to have something sweet after dinner each night. I had also become a lazy exerciser and was eating as much as my boyfriend, and he's 6'5" tall! Noticing changes in my body composition I convinced myself I was just "big boned" and should learn to love my proportions. I still had muscle tone but there was a layer of "fluff" covering it. Having turned 34 last year I thought maybe this was what I was supposed to look like. It wasn't until I saw a picture of myself tailgating at a sporting event that I realized just how much I had let myself go. I looked 10 years older and uncomfortable in my own skin. I was the heaviest I had ever been and at the moment knew I needed to make a change.

dotFIT's "Weigh the Weight Away" program helped me recognize the appropriate portion size for me. I learned how to cook satisfying low calorie, healthy meals. By checking in with my coach each day and keeping a daily food diary I was held accountable for the food and drink I consumed. As I incorporated healthier foods into my diet, my cravings for high-calorie and high-fat foods subsided.

Through a regimen of higher intensity workouts, calorie counting and portion control along with the DotFit provided supplements I lost 15 lbs in 10 weeks and went from a size 8 to a size 4. I am currently maintaining my goal weight of 135 lbs. The increased activity and weight loss even helped me take over 5 minutes off my 5k race time!

Thanks to my coach and mentor, Mike Oviedo, I am happy, healthy and in love with my new body!!"
