Ever since we announced our new program for 2009 everyone has been asking me, "What makes your weight loss program the best?"
So here it is:
With my new program, I am officially waging WAR on the quick-fix, yo-yo diet culture that many of you have been seduced by in the past!
Absolutely EVERYTHING we do is consistent with long term, permanent weight loss!
- We focus ALL of our efforts on losing body fat and we preserve 100% of our lean, metabolism-boosting muscle!
- We help you to develop SUSTAINABLE eating and exercise habits!....Helping you to develop a healthy routine that you'll be happy to stick with for a lifetime.
- We help you to GET YOUR METABOLISM BACK, so you'll be burning fat 24 hours a day!
- The entire program is taught in a managable, step-by-step system. Each week has a specific goal so you won't get overwhelmed and you can STICK WITH IT!
- We make a LIFETIME commitment to you by giving you UNLIMITED access to all of our systems and weekly coaching calls!
So there it is...If you want to continue to be overweight while living on diet cokes and slim-fast shakes, my program's probably not for you....But if you're looking to shed that extra body fat and keep it off forever, give me a ring!

New Year's Resolutions
Are you a person who always has a new years resolution? Have you ever made a new years resolution for weight loss?
Do you usually stick to that resolution? For how long?
If you're like many people out there, you typically make a new years resolution that is very hard to stick with. If you're looking to make a new years resolution for weight loss this year I've got 3 tips for you:
1) Make sure it is something you can keep track of. For example, if your new years resolution was to "exercise for at least 30 minutes 200 times over the course of the year." That is a resolution that you could easily keep track of. Everyday you exercise you could put an E on your calendar. You'd know that you had to keep on a 4 workout-per-week pace if you wanted to reach your goal.
2) Make sure it is something that you can control directly. My example of exercising 200 times is something you can control directly. Losing a certain amount of pounds, or a certain amount of body fat isn't. It's true...by eating right and exercising you will definitely be able to lose weight and body fat, but don't make that your primary goal. Focus on what you can do to lose that extra weight and body fat.
3) Don't go crazy! I hate to burst your bubble, but if your new years resolution is to exercise 7 days a week for 2 hours a day, you're chances of falling short of that goal are very high. Just think...all you have to do is miss one workout! If you set a more manageable goal, you'll still get some great health benefits....and you'll feel better about yourself when you achieve that goal!

Weight Loss Tip of the Week - Hold Yourself Accountable
Sure your serious about your weight loss goals! You ate a salad with dinner and you had an apple for dessert...but what about that bag of chips and those bon bons you ate as soon as you got home from work? Oh yeah, you forgot about those!
If you're not holding yourself accountable it's very easy to slide off the weight loss wagon. Here are 3 ways that you can hold yourself accountable. I suggest doing at least 1, but ideally all 3 of these things if you are serious about your weight loss goals:
1) Keep a food journal. This means that you write down everything you eat. It doesn't have to be fancy, just keep an 8x5 notepad in your pocket or in your pocketbook. You'll be amazed how well you eat when you know that you'll have to write it down.
2) Get a weight-loss coach. Someone who can support you, hold you accountable, and give you advice on how you can change your eating habits and lifestyle to better achieve your goals. How do I know so much about weight loss coaches?...Because I am one! haha!
3) Get a weight-loss buddy. A weight loss buddy is someone who has similar weight loss goals, or someone who is very supportive of your goals. This should be someone who you can trust, who is never going to grow tired of you talking about your weight loss challenges, because believe me....there will be challenges!

How to Handle Thanksgiving
If you're like most of us, there's one day a year when you eat more food than the average grizzly bear eats in a week...and that day is Thanksgiving!
It's a real conflict of interests...you want to eat all the food that everyone's worked so hard to prepare, but you still want to be able to fit in your car for the ride home. So what do you do?
Here are some tips I have for people who want to survive Thanksgiving without throwing their weight loss goals out the window:
1) Don't arrive starving. I'm not saying you should eat a huge breakfast, but eat something so you don't lose your cool when you see all that food in front of you.
2) Take a look at all the food, put all of your favorite things on one, perfect plate...eat it slow, and enjoy it!
3) When it comes to dessert, go with a small portion.
4) Have a "buddy"...someone else who has a weight loss goal, who you will "report back to" on Friday. It's best if that buddy is eating dinner with you, but even if their not, having a buddy will do wonders.
5) Don't snack on junk food. Next to every bowl of chips there's usually a fruit or vegetable platter.
At the end of the day, that's all it is...one day! Try to do your best, but even if you fall off the wagon, you can always jump back on that wagon Friday. Just make sure you don't turn a 1 day binge into a 2 day, or even a 2 month binge!
