Hey Iv been over weight my hole life even as a baby I was really big Im in my late 30’s now divorced with two kids and wonted to get back into the dating life but found myself think I’m disgustingly over weight and I wasn’t attracted to myself how could anyone else be attracted to me. I ended up with depression witch made me end up gaining another 15kgs to my already large 98kg body. I was in the danger zone no doubt about it I thought of surgery because well lets face it it’s the quick way of doing things, the only problem is it doesn’t take the fat of your heart.
So I looked all over the internet and found heaps of different ways to lose fat lets say the only thing I lost was lots and lots of money out of my pocket. I felt hopeless till a friend of mine gave me a website to look at http://ebook.losefatnotfaith.com/?hop=klb3nn3tt .
What else did I have to loose $39.95. So I gave it one last try and I mean this was it I was going to try this one last program if it didn’t work it was surgery for me or even worst ending my life I couldn’t deal with my life being this way. What people don’t understand is that being over weight is not just a problem in your life it becomes your hole life. It becomes what you eat, where you go, what you where, who you talk to but most of all it was destroying my kids life they were the only thing I had going in my life my only joy being over weight stopped being about me but became about them.
I m telling you as I am typing this I am sitting here in a size 8 dress now 52kgs healthy and loving life and back in the dating ring I can take my kids places and them not be ashamed of me GUYS ARE LOOKING AT ME WOWWWWWWW lol !!!!
Guys I m telling you go to this site http://ebook.losefatnotfaith.com/?hop=klb3nn3tt
Spend the $39.95 its so worth it you deserve to be the best version of your self. And sure different things work for different people but I have given this site to 32 other people who’s life are changing as we speak. Surgery is the quick option but this is the best option you not only loose weight but you have that sense that you have achieved so much more. All the best guys with this program Im telling you the only thing you will loose is weight.

1. Don’t do crunches until you take the weight off or you will just end up with a hard thick gut like a weightlifter. Guaranteed. Don’t try to lose weight and build muscle at the same time or you will end up misshapen.

2. Rather than attempting to apply one single plan to everything you need to think in phases and cycles. Take some weight, then tighten up, then take some more off, tighten up, etc.

3. Get swimming, it’s brilliant.

4. Get your cardio from something other than an elliptical trainer – which takes your muscles and joints through their full range of motion in a non-predictable manner. That’s the key to health.

5. Be holistic. Forget machines, embrace life and make your excercise part of your day. Ride a bike, take a walk, play fetch with a dog – just get out of the house. Good health is not just about body fat.

6. Figure out something which motivates you. No one can motivate you to proper intensity but yourself. Period. If you can’t motivate yourself then you need to repair that flaw first because that’s going to be a barrier to your long term weight regardless of your short term results.

7. Go slow. Healthy weight loss is the goal. Whatever you do, do not yoyo. Being a little overweight is healthier than losing weight and regaining it because each time you yoyo back up, you retain a slightly higher level of fat than before. It’s your body’s attempt to survive in the face of sudden caloric reduction.

8. Don’t listen to people who oversimplify this issue. It is neither easy nor simple. Changing your life is hard. But you can do it. You can do anything with your life you choose to do. So just man up and make a choice. From what I’ve read here you haven’t made the choice yet so I predict a relapse. Until you make a permanent change in the way you think, it’s all just lip service.

9. Don’t reward yourself for small short-term gains. That’s the sort of thinking which drives the yoyo cycle. Set only mid-to-long term goals and celebrate them voraciously. Losing 20 pounds in a month doesn’t mean a thing. Keeping 20 pounds off for 5 years is awesome.

10. Best of luck. I think you need to muster a bit of spine personally but who cares what I think, it’s what you think that matters and it’s nice to see you addressing such constructive stuff. I wish you every success!

I was at 195 lbs. 2 years ago. I was the skinniest kid in high school and graduated at 135 lbs. I felt like crap. I then went skiing and hit a huge mogul came down on the backside hard and cracked my foot. Put me out of commission for the winter and into the following spring. Life was rough. But something came over me. I realized how fortunate I was to be able to actually have 2 feet. Sounds funny but having 2 feet and being normal again was a big time rush for me.

I was determined to lose weight. I am now 160 lbs and well on my way to 155. I have been losing an average of 2-3 lbs per week and I finally figured out what makes me lose weight. It is all about finding what works. I feel awesome and have tons of energy.

The trick is actually easy. It is a lot like blogging. People know how to blog but they quit 6 weeks into it. You have to make some mental changes.

I have a schedule if you want it Jeremy. I can’t guarantee it works for you but I am losing 2-3 lbs per week and still have energy

All the best, Jeremy.

I’d help but I can safely say I should be in the participant category as well.

And yes, it’s all about motivation. I too know what has to be done … it’s just bloody doing it.

Here’s how I lost 30 pounds for my wedding – I walked for two hours a day along the beach, cut down on the sugary drinks (that was tough) and drank water.

That was 12 years ago. I’ve put that all back on and then some.

Good luck Jeremy! I recently lost 50 pounds, going from 230 to 180. We’re about the same height and in similar businesses. My initial motivation was something called “The Hacker Diet” which is something John Walker put together after he founded and sold Autodesk, then looked at his picture on the cover of Fortune or some similar and said “Crap! I’m fat!” He put it together in terms that are real, and mathematical and make a lot of sense. This is no “grapefruit” diet or fad thing. It just comes down to the fact that 1 pound = 3500 calories. So, reduce your intake by 3500 cal per week, and lose one pound. This one simple fact made me look at everything I ate in a new way.
Other things I did: bought a high quality digital scale that works down to the decimal – so you can see that you lost 0.4 pounds in a day, for instance. I also was VERY careful about keeping a daily log of my weight.
