Nothing is impossible and once you see it start to happen, there is nothing that can change your mind. You have unlimitless power! Enjoy this video, it will inspire you and hopefully awaken the powerful person within you!

Tell The World About Your Weight Loss Journey-The Best Motivator

Here's a very interesting weight loss journey by Adam Waters. He was 32 years old in 2003 and decided to take action by making a video diary and posting it. This technique works because you're telling the world what you want to do and it's a very motivating and makes you accountable, the term "failing is not an option" sticks in your brain every day.
Weight loss is a journey and 3 months may seem like a long time but it goes by very fast especially if you can see the physical transformation before your eyes. So take a before and after picture and stick to the program of your choice. Baby steps turn into leaps and bounds... You can do it!

Here's a great quote from Adam:

"I am not "special" and neither is the transformation. Thousands of people all over the world do this kind of thing all the time (myself included, 7 years ago). This transformation has more to do with the mind than the body. The body is merely a physical representation of your daily thoughts and actions."

Adam also gives credit to Tom Venuto author of Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle. I follow this book as well and it's by far the most comprehensive and in-depth resource you'll ever read and I can guarantee you it works, you will be totally motivated. It focuses on weight loss, your mindset and eating whole food according to your body make-up. As you can see from this video Adam's physique is all natural. Take a look, it will inspire you!

A Motivational Weight Loss Message From Tom Venuto-Author Of "Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle"

Why Some People Quit And Some People NEVER Give Up

By Tom Venuto, CSCS, NSCA-CPT

burnthefat.com

Throughout my 18 years in the fitness industry as a trainer, nutrition consultant and motivational coach, I have noticed that some people who start a nutrition and exercise program give up very easily after hitting the first obstacle they encounter. If they feel the slightest bit of discouragement or frustration, they will abandon even their biggest goals and dreams.

On the other hand, I noticed that some people simply NEVER give up. They have ferocious persistence and they never let go of their goals. These people are like the bulldog that refuses to release its teeth-hold on a bone. The harder you try to pull the bone out of his mouth, the harder the dog chomps down with a vice-like grip.

What's the difference between these two types of people? Psychologists say there is an answer.

An extremely important guideline for achieving fitness success is the concept that, "There is no failure; only feedback. You don't "fail", you only get results."

This is a foundational principle from the field of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), and the first time I ever heard it was from peak performance expert Anthony Robbins back in the late 1980's. It's a principle that stuck with me ever since, because it's a very, very powerful shift in mindset.

A lot of people will second-guess themselves and they'll bail out and quit, just because what they try at first doesn't work. They consider it a permanent failure, but all they need is a little attitude change, a mindset change, or what we call a "reframe."

Instead of saying, "This is failure" they can say to themselves, "I produced a result" and "This is only temporary." This change in perspective is going to change the way that they feel and how they mentally process and explain the experience. It turns into a learning opportunity and valuable feedback for a course correction instead of a failure, and that drives continued action and forward movement.

It's all about your results and your interpretation of those results

Dr Martin Seligman, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, did some incredible research on this subject and wrote about it in his book, Learned Optimism. Dr. Seligman noticed that the difference between people who give up and people who persist and never quit is what he referred to as "explanatory style." He said that explanatory style is the way we explain or interpret bad events or failures.

People who habitually give up have an explanatory style of permanence. For example, they hit a plateau in their progress and explain it by saying, "diets never work" or "I have bad genetics so I'll always be fat." These explanations imply permanence.

Other people hit the same plateaus and encounter the same challenges, but explain them differently. They say things such as, "I ate too many cheat meals this week," or "I haven't found the right diet for my body type yet." These explanations of the results imply being temporary.

People who see negative results as permanent failure are the ones who give up easily and often generalize their "failure" into other areas of their lives and even into their own sense of self. It's one thing to say, "I ate poorly this past week because I was traveling," (a belief about temporary behavior and environment), and to say, "I am a fat person because of my genetics" (a belief about identity with a sense of permanence). Remember, body fat is a temporary condition, not a person!

People who see challenges and obstacles as temporary and as valuable learning experiences are the ones who never quit. If you learn from your experiences, not repeating what didn't work in the past, and if you choose to never quit, your success is inevitable.

Weight Loss And The Dangers Of Eating Fast Food

The dangers Of eating fast food? it's processed, and these foods are over processed at the cost of nutrients. Flavor is also destroyed, so before suppliers try to feed us this nutrient poor food, they add things like salt, sugar and fat for better taste. Weight loss will become an uphill battle.


* Artificial flavouring, colouring and preservatives, most made from fossil fuels are very risky for adults. Another bad side is children suffer even more as their growing bodies and brains do not process and eliminate these chemicals as effectively.


* Fast food is the king of saturated fat which helps to build up toxins in our bodies along with clogged arteries and poor immune systems.

*Overall risks are abundant and the drive-thru window should be avoided.

* Below is a very interesting video I found on YouTube about a young man who starting collecting fast food hamburgers back in 1989 and put them on display, he has his own museum!

You will never head for the drive-thru window again once you see this video, at least I'm hoping you won't.....

This will sum up the dangers of eating fast food. Your weight loss campaign can do without saturated fats clogging up your arteries.
