Developing the proper mindset is the foundation for any successes that we will have in our lives including fitness and weight loss.

In order to be sucessful with your fitness and weight loss efforts you need to have a good enough “reason why”.

It’s true. You can’t lose weght for the sake of losing weight. There has to be an underlying reason why:

• Maybe you want to look your best on your wedding day or at your class reunion.
• Maybe you have a history of heart disease or breast cancer in your family and you want to do everything you can to avoid it.
• Maybe you want to be the ultimate example for your children.
• Maybe you gained weight because of fear or depression and you want to reclaim your life…

Whatever your reason, make sure it’s a good one.

Why? Because there will be tough times along the road to fitness success. We all have them… believe me… we all have them.

It’s been said that the road to success is paved with hard work and determination.

Yes, there’s work involved and there’s sacrifices that you’ll have to make.

Don’t get me wrong, there are good times too, very good times.
Nothing feels better than achieving your goals and being truly happy with the person staring back at you in the mirror.

However, when the tough times come, it’s that reason why, that very special reason why, that will keep you on the fast track to fitness success.

So, what is your reason why? Leave a comment below. I’d love to hear about it.

This is one of my favorite motivational/inspirational videos.
Check it out…

The message is simple:
Are you willing to do whatever it takes to achieve what you want out of life?

This is a great question to ask yourself whenever you are considering a new project/endeavor.
Whether it’s weight loss, business, or personal achievemnt, the question is still the same.

Are you willing to do whatever it takes to see this goal to completion?

If the answer is yes, then go for it!
If the answer is no, then don’t even bother because it won’t get done.

Asking that simple question will save you time and energy that you can put into projects that you do care about.

At the beginning of 2009, I set the intention to ask myself that simple question.
And, I’ll tell you what… I’ve never been happier!

Now it’s your turn. Set the intention…
Everything you do, do it with purpose or don’t do it at all.

Let me know what you think. I’d love to hear what you have to say.

Have you ever wondered which States are the fattest and which States are the fittest in America?

Well, I have… and thanks to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we now have the answers.

Now, keep in mind, the figures given for these states are percentages of obesity, not overweight, but obesity. The percentage of overweight people in each of these states is much higher.
Also, these percentages are for the entire state, not just a city in that state.

5 Fattest States in America

1. Mississippi: 32.6 percent
2. Alabama: 30.9 percent
3. Tennessee: 30.7
4. Louisiana: 30.7
5. West Virginia: 30.3

5 Least Obese States in America

1. Colorado: 19.7
2. Massachusetts: 21.7
3. Rhode Island: 21.7
4. Connecticut: 21.7
5. Hawaii: 21.7

source: CDC.gov

As you can see… all 5 of the fattest states in America have over 30 percent rate of obesity.
Can you believe that? 1 out of 3 people in each of these states is obese. That is crazy!

The 5 least obese states are doing slightly better with 1 out of 5 people considered obese.

Obviously, we have an epidemic of mammoth proportions on our hands and we need to do something about it.

We need to understand that being fit is not about being vain. It’s not about the muscle head admiring himself in the mirror and kissing his own biceps.

It’s about having vibrant health, being free of sickness, disease, and preventing premature death.
It’s about quality of life… being able to enjoy the days that you’re here on this earth to the fullest!

It’s about being able to add value to society instead of being a burden to it.

How Can We Prevent Obesity?

The first thing we need to do is educate the population as a whole.
We need to give people a reason to want to be fit and healthy.

Next, we need to take action:

• Eat more organic whole foods
• Minimize intake of processed foods
• Start a resistance training program
• Start a cardiovascular training program
• And, understand that it is possible to be fit, happy, and healthy

This last point is a big one.
I see it time and time again. Many people will start a health and fitness program and initially get great results.
But, as soon as they start getting compliments from friends and strangers… they self-sabotage themselves.

They go back to there old ways because there is comfort and familiarity there.

In order to make a positive LASTING change, you have to change your mindset.
You need to understand that yes… it’s not only okay for you to look great, but you deserve to look great.

Once this paradigm shift is made, there will be no stopping you.
You will be able to achieve anything that your heart desires.

Remember, I love you and wish you the best in everything you do.

The FDA has recalled 72 Weight Loss Products due to “risky” ingredients.

“Some of the products claim to be ‘natural’ or to contain only ‘herbal’ ingredients, but actually contain potentially harmful ingredients not listed on the product labels or in promotional advertisements,” the FDA said. “These products have not been approved by the FDA, are illegal, and may be potentially harmful to unsuspecting consumers.”

The FDA went on to state that these products contained prescription strength amounts that exceeded the recommended dosage and could cause health risks to consumers. Adverse reactions could range from high blood pressure, seizures, tachycardia, palpitations and increased risk of depression.

A complete list of all 72 products on the FDA’s national alert list can be viewed here

The Weight Loss Industry Is Banking On Your Failure!
Each year Americans spend more than $30 billion dollars on weight loss products. The sad truth is most of these products are ineffective at best and at worst, well, serious injury and/ or death can occur.

Yes, there’s a lot of confusion and misconception regarding weight loss in the world today. Big corporations use infomercials and other forms of advertisement to mislead you… give you false hope, and trick you into buying their miracle solutions. They know that you are desperate to try anything to look better and feel better. These big corporations care nothing about you. The only thing they care about is their bottom line (profits). They will do or say anything in order for you to give them your money. Think about it: If what these companies sold really did work, obesity, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes would be a thing of the past. Instead, all of these diseases are on the rise with no end in sight.

Remember, the only way to safely lose weight and keep it off is through proper eating and effective exercise.
Stay away from the pills, powders, and potions.
