Testimonial from a Fan:

Hi Carol!

Let me just say thanks for all the tips for weight loss. it has been a month since i started working out and I have seen and felt changes. (I) got motivated one day when I wanted again to fit in some of my old clothes and so I did. But there a little problem; my weight isn’t really cooperating, it remained the same (still overweight) that was when I tried downloading free podcasts from itunes and immediately subscribed to Fit4Life Radio.

I have learned so much and was more inspired to work out, not just to look good but to feel good and eat good. I very much liked the episode where in you interviewed Robert Ferguson from whom I devised (sort of) my own work out regimen. I love his concept and pretty soon I’ll be fit as you guys, thank u so much! Before I’d been doing cardio (only) but now I’m starting to like yoga as well, which has helped me so much during my cardio workouts.

Thanks again keep it up!

Start your own journey. Listen to the latest episode and let me know how its going. I love hearing about your success!

A celebration and a question. Why IS America so fat? This nation is about to turn an extremely young 234 years old in less than a week and even though we’ve excelled in many areas and are at the top of our game in quite a few, we are desperately failing to make the grade in the way we take care of our bodies.

I won’t bore you with all the statistics that I am sure you’ve heard many times, but here are just a few to digest:

• In the past two decades, the percentage of children who are obese has doubled. The number of obese adolescents has tripled. Source: American Academy of Pediatrics, Trust for America’s Health
  In fact, parents could soon begin to outlive their children because of the epidemic of obesity.
• According to a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, 70% of American women and 90% of American men will eventually get fat.  The Journal of the American Medical Association states that roughly 70% of Americans are either overweight or obese, today!
• The World Health Organization lists overweight and obesity as one of the Top 10 causes of preventable deaths worldwide.

This information will either scare you straight or numb you into doing nothing. I would rather it scare you straight. But information, numbers, statistics and “gloom and doom” reports are no good without solutions. With that in mind, I’m giving you solutions and step-by-step directions to help get you out of the fog and into action.

Since January of this year, the media has reported on a number of celebrities falling below the yellow line by gaining back pounds and pounds of previously lost weight.

Oh, sorry, if you don’t know what the yellow line is, it’s the measurement “The Biggest Loser” show uses to determine if a contestant is eligible for elimination that week. If they fall below, they could get the boot. So, each week, losing enough weight to stay, “above” the yellow line is imperative to their survival, on the show.

But, let’s relate that to real life…Losing weight is hard! I watch each week as not only the contestants, but my clients and hundreds of others struggle to stay above the line.

As Matt Hoover puts it in his heart-felt video, you have to work at it continually. Its an every day job. He goes on to say that when he was on the show, he didn’t have to worry about anything but losing weight. How hard is that when there are no kids to tend to, job to go to or coworkers, family, friends and antagonizers to contend with?

Even Kirstie Alley, who recently appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” apologized for regaining all her weight, plus 10 pounds. I’m sorry that she felt that she had to apologize. She is NOT the only one who has Yo-Yo’d and she won’t be the last!

What’s missing here is a dose of reality. These people are all real, they have lives and struggles and stressors and successes and failures and so do you. There is no magic pill, as proven by the recall of the overwhelmingly successful diet pill, hydroxycut.

The only proven way to lose weight AND keep it off is by committing to a program that combines the following necessary elements:

• A Nutritious diet
• Regular activity which includes strength training and cardiovascular exercise
• Positive lifestyle behavior

Now, if you go back to the videos and links that I have provided and really read them and listen to what they are saying, you will begin to understand that this whole process is part of a bigger picture. The picture is your life! How will you live it?

Look, I won’t promise you that it will be easy or a walk in the park…

…because you will work hard
…you will sweat
…and you’ll even be a little sore at times.

But I can promise you this, if you don’t take action and make getting healthy and staying that way a priority, you will wind up right back in the same position you are in right now.

But, I can’t help you unless you’re ready to help yourself. It all starts with you making a decision this very moment. Click here to fill out this short form and see how you can get started on making sure that you stay above the yellow line.
