Former Fat Guy

Lets dream for a moment.

What would it be like if you were suddenly in your best shape. You took the "magic pill" and all the fat dropped off over night and was replaced with the perfect amount of muscle? Just enough muscle to make you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

How would it change your life?

How would it make you feel?

What would you do differently? Or would it even change anything?

Imagine being able to do all the things that you've always wanted to do.. climbing mountains - pushing yourself to get to the top to enjoy the view and spending time with your kids on the trail and in nature.

Have you ever wanted to skydive? Being in your perfect shape, you'd be able to enjoy the thrill of flying through the air as free as a bird, and then piloting your very own canopy once deployed.

What about being able to fit comfortably into amusement park rides and spending the whole day at the park - walking around, doing the rides and experiencing the thrills of it all.

There is no "magic pill" for weight loss. It takes time, motivation, energy and commitment to learning about how the body works, what food to eat for fuel and doing a regular exercise program.

My favorite quote is "every good program requires a plan and sufficient time to implement"

Achieving your dream body doesn't happen over night. Months of dedication to learning about nutrition, health and exercise and then putting it into practice. Keep what works and discarding what doesn't work. Never saying "I know that", but rather researching different programs to keep yourself in the loop and then trying it to see if it works for you.

Tracking your progress, so you know if it's fat you're burning, or muscle. Knowing for sure that when the scale goes up, that it's muscle and not fat. Using the mirror and your clothes as indicators to your success, not the scale.

I've been there.

I know what it's like to grab a pillow and keeping it in front of me to hide my weight, or standing behind "the bar" so people wouldn't see my gut, or avoiding malls and shopping centers because I couldn't walk very far before being covered in sweat and just plain feeling uncomfortable.

On my blogs and websites, I've chronicled my research into this whole weight loss and exercise monster and have come to present to you all the natural health and weight loss techniques available to lose weight, get into shape and develop your dream body.
