overweight fitness professional ????

Know exactly how you feel! Former all-county athlete and now I am unhealthy, need to quit with the excuses and take care of this!

Yes I also understand. Was an acsm certified fitness professional and now find myself needing to lose 50 lbs. Fr sent

I am totally encouraged by your story. Thank you for being so honest. I think that is what most of your clients really want to hear because you understand their struggle, their journey. I love it that you are here! I am sure you have a truck load of wisdom to share with us.

honestly it wouldnt matter to me, but then again i'd only ever go to a trainer for strength and powerlifting help.

but i suppose if you're the type of trainer o have people doing tricep kickbacks and partial squats on bosu balls, then yeah i guess those clients would expect to be seeing someone who looks trimmer than them

You're already ahead of the game since you know what to do, but it's easier said than done. Having the support of others makes a huge difference! Good luck! You will ace this!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when my trainers can relate and share their struggles. I take their advice much more seriously because they can relate- they lived it. It reminds me that I can achieve the results I want if I put the work into it.

I think its awesome that you are on here sharing like this! Looking forward to seeing the changes and learning what I can!

The deal is I know we will have slip ups. I think if I have 5 good days and one bad eventually we will get there. I think I really started three weeks ago. When my daughter got out of school and started tennis camp I joined where she goes (summer membership was inexpensive...) I've been dropping her off at 7:45am and working out for 45 minutes... quick shower and off to work. I am moving so much more. I got on the Higi scale last Tuesday and I weighed 222lbs! This was after running first 1 mile then 2miles the second week about five days so I was heavier than that I am sure. Do you have Higi's where you live?:happy: It is pretty cool- takes blood pressure and weight and then emails the results to you. I had done it for the first time July 2nd of last year and I had gained 13 lbs over the year. Bad habits, laziness, comfort. My daughter is an athlete and going to be a hell of a tennis player (if she chooses to keep going...) She will be 9 later this month. Three years ago I was a pretty good example to her- about twenty lbs overweight but working out pretty regularly and playing tennis myself. When she got more serious we had to move her training...it was not as convenient for me... I am working on changing that.

Hello BRE

I always read forum replys by others before i comment.. MFP is awesome.ecosystem of exercise belief systems in need of a fresh voice..

Your plight is exactly what I write about and allude to in every solution I convey..

You see I am also a fitness trainer. . I semi retired in 09 to complete a book that is now being finalized for Amazon fall winter this year.
Its time to return and repeat what I was successful at AGAIN

Yes over 5 years later to formulate and write not for the chosen few but for ALL so that every page provides a learning relationship with their body that defies what you and I went to school for.

The problem you have isnt implementation.. The problem you face has nothing to do with know how..The issue at had is not even that your current BMI puts you in conflict with your chosen profession..

The problem is what is being taught in all those dated text books is not contemporary enough for todays lifestyle.. The definition of fitness is not a definition..The idea never has been fully fleshed out..Now that Obesity is now an epidemic the fitness powers that be have no tools to solve it.. NO anything but finger point ,use food diaries and stand behind an always failing calorie counting mudslide that blames end -sers ad-nosium for their lack of will power , self discipline , and what not..

The powers that be cant see nothing wrong with the Calorie formula..they belief Its you.. you're the dastardly over eating villian..its you - you shameful double digit sugar eater.. cant stop eating those fudge brownies..

AH thats a bunch of BUNK..I have met people, trained people, live in the homes of people who follow the calorie PILTDOWN nonsense to the letter- result DEAD END You know it but you are not suppose to breath fire and say..that theres somthing not quite right..

Well I didnt finish my degree because in the masters program I attened at at ASU the Instructor Gave me a "D" .Not because I was some kind of average student slacker.. But because one of my editorial pieces appeared in the same Magazine opposite his ..Mine landed me the personal training Gig with the Director of Monday night football..and ABC..

It also allowed me to be the go-to personal trainer for an amazing resume of people that allowed me to live a surreal and mythological life and semi-retire quick .. a life I cannot ever forget.

Lets just say I was able to live next door to the king and queen of Saudi Arabia for over a year.. following the forward thinking of my editorial


Im sharing this..because.. the materiel you were groomed to teach is il defined , il conceived and is not contemporary enough for todays lifestyle..and is failing the masses en mass by leaps and bounds..

Instead of exposing all its Evils . Friend me.. take the red pill Im holding in my key board hand .. But

Do so only if the solution I am about to provide to your situation is of any merit. And that you believe it will get you to a lower BMI and install the courageous aptitude to exert, pit, test, and retest your physical equivalent of will power over free will..better than what you are doing now..


Here goes..

I would recommend you calculate your protein number ( Pn#) first.. this is mother natures metabolic master Key. This master key gives you access to what is going on hormonally behind the scenes.. The hormone you will most focus your efforts on is the lipolytic enzyme.

This enzyme is the only hormone agent of the body that communicates with unwanted body ft Its the only hormone agent that can translate and transmit intentions to unwanted body fat. And its the only hormone agent that can deweaponize unwanted body fats hormonal force field and command it to stand down.

Once your protein number is in place..you simply plug in this portion size into the food frequency formula. ( 2 before 12 pm and 2 after 2pm..) eating 5 or 6 times a day is a body building concept not meant for the average joe....besides only 1 % of the population can adhere to how it works

.there is obviously more behind this formula..but works for most of the people most of the time it also compensates for circadian rhythm issues.

From here build a food energy plan.. I wrote what this is in a previous post.. but to be brief.. a food diary records hindsight yesterdays bit map nutrient news.. a food energy plan on the other hand helps you achieve foresight into what will potentially blow you off course or through you from the food energy horse.

With a food energy plan you only need to manage it once per month recording only food frequency misses.. which in turn filters out behavior in panoramic view..

Bottom line: you spend more effective time focusing on getting better at spotting and fixing discipline problems and solving flavor instaed of micromanaging and writning down gibberish behind your failure to comply yesterday.

At the very least a food energy plan ..minimizes food energy fall out


Now the exercise.. I am able to deploy and teach any one in the world in 5 lessons or less the entire galaxy of exercise that gets the job done. This includes knowing the out come in advance before they even start out.
After the five lessons I then become a consultant and can get you to the goal in less than 6 8 or 12 weeks.. with no real change to an existing time schedule..

I super teach this using acronyms, short codes, memory cues, imagery devices and principals that absolutely verify, validate and authenticate the work product all along the way..

You DO NOT just learn exercise as whats being vomited now..Your body can by pass what an exercise is suppose to do...You don't follow a prepackaged scripted routine of lifting this and that .. and go through a beat down to proveyou can handle it.

this method is called creating an addiction to exertion fatigue.. Its barbarian at the gate training.

what you have to do first is teach the body how to release and activate a war chest full of lipolytic enzymes using dormant motorskills..

and learn to do so AT WILL..

Once the fighting force of lipolytic enzymes can with persuasion populate and achieve critical mass .. unwanted body shields lower and fat loss becomes a no brainer.

Bets yet should you fall down on supplying whole food protein basedon the food frequency formula.. Your body will let you know right away within 72 hours..that you should alter course or unwanted body fat being raising the shields and weaponizing all over again.

what I just laid out will allow you to command indomitable life force.. will allow you dismantle on contact any training system out there blind folded..

No more barbarian at the gate approach needed..no more becoming a slave to the process.no more addiction to exertion fatigue in order to achieve results - 100% of the population can tap the food energy behind it no matter what their food energy hand up is

If i were to take you through this step by step using SKYPE.. In 7 days..not 7 weeks but in 7 to 10 days your BMI would be a thing of the past..you would have a more firm flowing feminine physique..and the contained discipline taking a leave of absence would be restored.. because your learning curve, lipolytic enzymes and the your body image would fly through the roof with confidence.


The 3-days above the 7days I use to cover the learning curve float..

As the super teaching is so outside any body's paradigm.. the brain is right there absorbing all im teaching like the scenein the Matrix.. learning kung FU

But the psyche is to busy trying to master it at the same time.It cant believe it.

Yes I can install that kind of life force that will allow you to move flawlessly to your goal.

Your position of leadership demands new new know how.. Your career should be energized by the idea that you can enjoy unlimited economic lift..Your abilities to activate an entire room full of exercisers and non exercisers should be

automatic and "At Will.."

Know one in the world can teach fitness this fast.or.can do what i can do..with a yoga block and little black flight bag

The system I just laid out allows me to come to your gym or any gym on any continent and over see every last persons exercise protocol . uniquely and in individualized fashion.

Provide instruction and know without seeing their food diary or anything they have done previously and know where they have short circuited in ..progress..

All with out one additional personal trainer..

I know because I did it..and can and been able to repeat It

Any where any time and any place.. AT WILL !

Thats my gift to you..All you need to do is believe that the world at large is bigger than counting calories and beating people down to lose weight.

How interesting..

Life force at work in full bloom...

Your over weight issue like bre's is not an eating too much..
Instead of recoiling to words that you cannot stomach as if its your life calling to reject a new heart beat..

You should know just by now you are over weight becasue your hormones - the lypolytic enzymes ones i very well talk about

are the key..

You have been brain washed to believe over eating.. Youareusing texts written by guys from the past that could not see the future.. or better they did and

your response here reflects it nicely..


Evolution means advancing with the times or perish..

If Iwere in your shoes I would be jumping on easily verifiable information rather than hanging on to your over eating night mare.. that rejects the very essence of what you made of - Hormones
lipolytic enzymes you have never heard of

over eating keeps you a slave to the process but is not why you are over weight

What you call self promotion.. I call gifting you absolute dietary freedom.. to both of you..

But as expected.taken the blue pill..the story ends and you belive what you wnat to believe

You cannot detach or accept the truth..
you would rather get hung up on the voice of success and some crazy intent you conjured up than using powerful provable no strings attached information to your advantage..

More life force to come..

and its working
