    I would like to be part of this group! I have been kinda "ho humming" along and would really like to have people to help keep me motivated and competitive. I am looking to run my first 5k on 4/22 and then a 4.5 mile fun run in June- I need the daily accountability of a group like this! Please feel free to add me as I will be mostly communicating through MFP- not a big fan of FB.

    Thanks!

    Attention — everyone who says they don’t have the time, need a workout partner, needs a push, wants to change their lifestyle back to healthy, this is the challenge for you:

    I’m here to motivate! Are you satisfied with the effort you’ve made toward your health and fitness? I’m grabbing you by the scruff of your neck, and saying “COME ON! IT’S TIME TO GO!!”

    We have 3 months until the Summer begins. There is NO REASON anyone out there reading this can’t be in the best shape of their life. We have 60 days. I must have your total commitment.

    There are a million excuses:
    I don’t have time
    I can’t workout at home
    These programs don’t work
    I am on the road working and can’t do it
    It’s too expensive
    I am in good shape already
    I have kids and can’t find the time or they will be in the way
    These programs are too intense
    The nutrition is boring and I won’t be able to eat what I want
    Are you trying to sell me on something to make some money
    We can keep making excuses, but here are some counter responses to those excuses:

    I don’t have time – Most of us watch TV 2-3 hours per day, you can do the workouts while watching TV

    I can’t workout at home- Most of us can’t workout in the gym either, these programs tell you exactly what to do and we will use each other for support

    These programs don’t work- Please take a look at this link and see if you change your mind. Old, Young, In Shape, Out of Shape. Any of those guys look like you? If you look close, you will see me in there

    I am on the road working and can’t do it- All these workouts can be done in a hotel room

    It’s too expensive- Is $200-300 a lot to invest in your health and a happier life? Most gym memberships are $70-100 per month

    I am in good shape already - Are you?

    I have kids and can’t find the time or they will be in the way- Wake up early, morning workouts are a great way to kick start your day.

    These programs are too intense- As with everything, you can make adjustments to the exercises and you will see over time, you will be able to do things you never though you could do

    The nutrition is boring and I won’t be able to eat what I want- 80% of your results come from diet. Would you rather learn how to eat healthy now or when it’s too late because the doctor makes you eat healthy

    Are you trying to sell me on something to make some money- Sure, I will make a little bit of money from you purchasing the program. But I am really doing this because I want to see the people around me be healthy, not have to go to the doctor’s office all the time as they get older…and ultimately, I want to see you enjoy more of your life with your kids and grand kids.

    Start Beachbody program on Monday March 12th and commit to doing every workout by the book for the next 60 days with no exceptions. For all the programs, everything you need in terms of equipment is included.

    Take Shakeology every day. This is the cornerstone of my nutrition plan.

    Follow my nutrition plan to meet your goals (fat loss, muscle building, both). Nutrition is 80% of the results and I won’t let you undermine your results with poor or mediocre nutrition.

    Join and participate DAILY in our private facebook group. This will be a private group where you must be accountable to report your workout, how you did on the nutrition, and what you are struggling with. Pics are also a must for accountability at least every 30 days. If you don’t have a FB account, you can create one just for this purpose and use an alias if you’d like. The group will be closed, so only our team will have access to it.

    After you have chosen your program, you will do this program for 60 days from your own home. These programs are designed for you to workout in front of your TV, at your own time and in the convenience of your home.

    It does not require 30 minutes to drive to the gym, 30 minutes to wait for a machine, 45 minutes to workout and another 30 minutes to come home!

    You can knock out your workouts in 1 hour a day.

    You then go into our Facebook Group and log your workouts and nutrition daily, this is how you will be held accountable for your workouts and where you will receive the motivation and coaching you need to be successful.

    Eat healthy and take your Shakeology and that’s it!

    14. No Advertising, Self-Promotion, or Fund-Raising

    a) You may not post any links or mentions of other services, websites, or businesses from which you or an associate might benefit financially or otherwise. You also may not solicit off-Forum contact from which you might benefit, e.g. "message me for more info", “I can get you free samples”, etc.
    b) Requests or solicitations for donations are also not allowed. This includes requesting contributions to “pooled fund” competitions, requests for votes in any venue (online contests, etc.), and even requests for charitable contributions. As you can imagine, we have a lot of people who would like to raise money for worthy causes through the site. As much as we'd like to support these causes, if we were to allow requests for donations, the forums would quickly become full of such requests which would take away from the main purpose of the forums - to support one another.
    c) Posts or messages to members promoting websites that compete with MyFitnessPal are also prohibited.
