Having been involved in the fitness industry for over 12 years as an athlete, fitness fanatic and personal trainer, I have developed an appreciation for the struggles people encounter with weight loss and maintenance. For some people, being overweight can be downright depressing.

Growing up I struggled emotionally and physically with my weight. I can remember lying on the grass in front of my house at the age of 11 so upset about being made fun of at school because I was overweight that I was crying. From 12 to 15, I started exercising and dieting (or in the beginning starving myself – the only dieting I knew). I was trying to lose the extra weight with little to no success.

Everything turned around for me when I started working out in high school for football. I worked out three to four hours a day, so eating had little impact on my weight (needless to say, I didn’t change my eating habits much). I was able to lose the extra fat I was carrying around, but wasn’t able to perform up to the level I wanted to in sports.

After finishing high school, I started creating my own workout programs and began to understand more and more about building muscle and decreasing fat. I became more athletic and fit over the next year, working out less but smarter, and I saw bigger gains in achieving the appearance I wanted. Still I put no emphasis on eating.

For the last four years I have dedicated myself to finding weight loss solutions for the average person. I wanted to be the premier weight loss expert. By studying and experimenting with the top programs in the industry, I have come to the conclusion that there is much to be desired with them. There are too many companies and too many products trying to take shortcuts in helping people get the weight off and keep it off. Many of the best trainers out there refuse to deal with weight loss as their primary target because they think a majority of people wanting to lose weight are only looking for the magic pill. And they may be right. But my hope is to prove them wrong and teach you not only how to lose the weight, but how to keep it off.

Starting April 1st I will be revealing the secrets I have been using to help individuals lose up to 30 pounds in a month and 120 pounds in eight months. Join the movement toward a healthier life. Before April 1st you need to make sure to take a picture of yourself, measure yourself (follow the link and it will explain where to measure), and take your weight. I would also recommend writing a couple paragraphs about your health and fitness levels right now to remind you about how you felt at the beginning of the 31 Days.
