    "1. They want to pay it forward.

    The idea of paying it forward commonly occurs at the happy ending of these fitness success stories, says Duffy who has seen firsthand people who became personal trainers or aerobic instructors as a result of their life-changing experience. These people have been at both ends of the spectrum—they've been overweight and unhealthy and they've realized how much happier they are in their new bodies. Many of them are inspired to share that feeling with others and help effect the same positive changes they instilled in themselves onto others who are still struggling."


    Beautiful. All of it, but especially this, IMHO.

    Yep, agree with almost every point.

    Though one can achieve lifestyle change through slow incremental change. It doens't have to be totally abrupt. I would argue slow and steady postive changes is a better way of going about it; instead of changing your lifestyle you evolve your lifestlye, it makes it much harder to go back to what you were before.

    Agree with the pay it forward point. I have no intent to do the personal trainer thing, but would love to write a book, since I do understand a high demand, low supply niche quite well (heavy strength training at home with little/no equipment), even though my only real qualification is former skinny guy that was a former fat guy.

    I'm 55 pounds down of the 75 pound goal that I began with. My wife and I attacked our bad habits together and I feel this article really captures the ingredients to our shared success. Great article to share.
