5 Motivational Tips to Crush Your Weight Loss!

Have you ever just felt like your are frazzled, or like you don't know what to do? You feel like there should be a magical feeling because of the topic of weight loss, but it's just not there. Have you ever lacked the drive or motivation to go work out, eat better, and do those things for proper and quick weight loss? If you answered yes to any of these questions or you just need some motivation, then look no further than here! We will give you 5 motivational tips to help you crush your weight loss!


1. Don't Give Up!
"It's hard to beat a person that never gives up!" Babe Ruth
If you have ever wanted to give up before in your life, then you know what its like to be in the seat of a failure or things being hard. Babe Ruth had a lot of success, but with that success came a lot of failure in order to get to the point of being one of the best players in baseball history. When you feel down and like you want to give up, remember who ever remembers the people that give up. No one ever does. Obesity and your weight loss can't win if you don't give up!


2. Fail Forward
"I've failed over and over and over again in my life...that's why I succeed!" Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan said that he has failed over and over and over again and that, that is the reason for his success. You see, if you fail and learn something from your failure, you fail forward. You apply to your life what you've learned and the same goes for weight loss. Find what doesn't work and find the one way that does. Don't stop until you perfect that one thing that works!


3. Stop Complaining
"Success trains, failure complains!"
Success trains and failure complains. If you want to succeed in your weight loss, stop complaining about how you look, how you want to look, or how someone else looks better than you. Go and train yourself instead, and you can reach those goals of looking better than those complaints that you would have otherwise had. Get going and stop complaining.


4. Act Like a Champion
"PrACTice like a champion."
Practice like a champion! If you want to be a champion of weight loss and you want that body that you have been dreaming of forever, then start acting and practicing to be like that body. Practice and practice some more, those things that get to your weight loss goals. Act like you have things together. I found that when i lost a lot of weight, I didn't take it seriously and I ended up gaining weight back because I didn't see myself as a skinnier person. Mindset is everything!


5. Be Consistent
"Success isn't always about greatness; its about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success, greatness will come." Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Being successful isn't about sheer greatness, its about finding that one thing that works. Then, once you have done that, just perfect that and be consistent. If you consistently put out hard work, success will come naturally. If you are sporadic in your training and weight loss, then your success will be sporadic. Be consistent and your success will be consistent.


We hope that you have enjoyed these tips and have gained some motivation to crush your weight loss and ultimately beat obesity! You can do it. The main thing is to find that one thing that does work and then pursue that with everything that's in you. I find in my own life that if I find something small that works, I then compound that one thing, perfect it, and in no time flat, I find that transfer into success. Those that have done great things and have been successful, especially at weight loss, have implemented these tips. Greatness follows those people that get up and get going on their weight loss!

Transformation Inspiration

Jillian Michaels once said, "The past doesn't define you, your present does. It's okay to create a vision of the future because it affects your behavior in the "now," but don't dwell on past mistakes. Learn from them and focus those lessons in the moment. That’s where change can really happen." Your past doesn't have to define your future. There are several lessons that we need to learn from. We will take a look at some inspiration tips and lessons that will really get you going on your transformation process. 



1. Goals 

Set and have goals that are attainable or reachable. The great coach and legendary football genius, Vince Lombardi put a point of view of goals in this way, “Success demands singleness of purpose.” This means that in order to succeed, we first have to put and have a purpose in a single goal. This can be something small for right now. Have a goal to lose five pounds in the first month. Goals are mini steps to get to the bigger steps life changing events that will provide the transformation that we need!

2. Shopping
Look at smaller clothes that you want to fit into. Let the clothes be another goal and something that you look forward to after losing some weight. Most of us want to lose weight for looking better in clothes, swimwear, for a wedding or special occasion, but the point is that we want to look better in clothes. Go shopping and take pictures of smaller clothes that you want to fit into eventually. This is a great visual for those that need some inspiration.

3. H2O
Drink enough water to feel better in your life and to help your body run at top performance. You will feel so much better after you get to the point of feeling energized and exuberant. Our body is made of 75% water! Optimal performing bodies will help you feel better about yourself and will help to propel your transformation and will be an inspiration to your weight loss. Water is like premium gas while soda and sugary drinks are like low grade gas. 

4. Research
Research famous people that are your body type and build and have their picture as yet another goal to reach. I used to keep a picture of Chris Hemsworth and Hugh Jackman on my cell phone to inspire me. I was built exactly like the both of them, but I had a lot of weight, just like the pictures of Hemsworth and Jackman before their movies came out that they premiered in. I could not believe their transformation. It was a huge inspiration for me to see what I could become with some hard work!

Now that we have looked at 4 tips for transformation inspiration for your weight loss, go out and implement these great tips that will make your weight loss combustible and easy. You will feel a get-up-and-go attitude about the whole thing when you start to dig into these tips. These are ridiculously easy to do in your own life that we highly encourage you to do these. Go out and be inspired to greatness. I find that the visual help that these tips provide is very beneficial because you get to see results that are right in front of you. Enjoy these tips and please comment your tips and helps for weight loss!

Start Your Weight Loss Fresh for New Years

It's been said many times that we are going to set New Year's resolutions to lose weight, lose the muffin top, lose the extra weight, stop eating so much, and on and on and on. Little do we know that we fail to take into account the lack of control, discipline, knowledge, and strength to keep going in our weight loss, even after the first few days or weeks of our year. Start your year off fresh. Here are 3 powerful steps to solidifying weight loss for the beginner, the intermediate and the pro.

1. Knowledge
The first step to solidifying your weight loss is to gain the knowledge about what type of weight loss you are going to try to accomplish. You may be a pro at losing weight (have lost weight and know the general gist of things), or you may be a complete and utter beginner. Either way, you have to know your enemy to defeat your enemy. As the years go by things change; something that may have worked last year might not work this year. Get the 411 on the weight loss program of your choice!

2. Strategy
Along with the first step comes the second step, and the second step is to know the strategy for the previously gained knowledge. You have to know what you're going to be doing (knowledge), and you have to know the strategy (plans and means to carry out the prescribed knowledge), and you come out on the other side with the correct formula to then commence and be successful in solidifying your weight loss.

3. Execution
The last key and part to solidifying your weight loss is the execution. In order to solidify the overall weight loss you have to gain the knowledge of the weight loss program, make a strategy or study strategies to get you to the end result, and last but not least, you then execute that strategy. By executing the above strategy that was made doable by the knowledge about what you're doing, you find yourself solidifying your weight loss and succeeding in your weight loss!

You will find these to be 3 of the most powerful weight loss tips you will ever read about in your life! They are simple, to the point, and are very easy to implement in your own life. If you want to solidify your weight loss in the coming New Year, follow these simple steps to the weight loss that will change your life forever! Let 2016 be the New Year where your resolutions are absolutely and chaotically obliterated! Go and get it!!!

Happy New Year!

Gain Immunity and Lose Weight with These 7 Tips

How many of you guys have been sick with a cold or flu and your diet and weight loss seems to grind to a halt? Do you struggle with remaining healthy? If you're like me, then you are someone that finds it hard to be sick and lose weight at the same time. Today I wanted to write a blog post about how important it is to remain healthy in order to lose weight. We will give you some tips on how to remain healthy in order to lose weight in this cold and flu season. It's very depressing to me because I was getting back to my weight loss and then I got sick again. I've been struggling with being sick for about a month. It really hinders your weight loss. Let's beat it!

1. Wash Your Hands
This tip may be an oxi-moron and is one of the oldest tips in the book, but its effective! By washing your hands for more than 30 seconds, with hot water and soap, you destroy and eliminate most of the germs on your hands.

2. Stop Chewing Your Nails
If you are someone that chews on your nails, you are someone that is very vulnerable for getting sick, even above those people that don't wash their hands as much. Your fingernails are crevices that are filled with bacteria and flu and cold germs.

3. Drink Vitamin C
By drinking vitamin C or taking vitamins as a supplement in your diet, you can boost your immunity and keep your body from getting the cold and flu. Vitamins can be found in fruits, vegetables, supplements, and the antibodies in yogurt and iced tea are great for giving your body a fighting chance.

4. Stop Touching Your Face
I couldn't believe how important this tip was in my own life. I didn't think that I touched my face that much, but I do. When you touch your nose, mouth, and even your eyes with dirty hands, you will find yourself getting sick or starting to feel bad.

5. Stay Away From Sugar
Sugar is a fuel for bacteria and germs because sugar lowers your immune system and makes it weaker. The reason is because your heartbeat works harder when you eat sugar and your body tires out quicker.

6. Go to Bed
Your body burns a candle when you are up and about. When you wake up early and go to bed late, you force your body to work and stay up on low fuel. You body utilizes all strength and energy to staying awake instead of giving some of it to your immune system. I would suggest getting 8-12 hours of sleep per night in order to get adequate rest.

7. Drink Water
By drinking water, you allow your body to run more efficiently. Water is like a fuel source for your body that becomes a harder to come by because we drink less during the winter and spring time because we don't sweat much. Drinking water purges the body of impurities and helps you to utilize more energy.

Implement these tips to remain healthy and lose weight. The cold and flu season is fully underway and we need to help our bodies combat colds and flus. Dieting and weight loss is really hard during the winter and spring months, but tips make it easier to stay healthy and remain strong during your weight loss and dieting. Comment and share your tips! Please share these tips with your family and friends! Thanks!

Fresh Tips 4 Weight Loss!

How many days do you let go by as losses because you just don't know where to get started? We go through our days and we do whatever we want to do and whenever we want to. I think that if we had a few fresh tips for weight loss, then we would have a base for getting started in our weight loss journey. If you have had trouble and your halfway through your weight loss journey and you're stuck, get reading. Whether you are starting, you're in the middle, or you are at the end, this blog post is for any and everyone that needs to lose weight. We are going to give you 4 fresh tips for weight loss and dieting.

1. Drink More Water!Water is the single greatest energy and fuel for your weight loss. Water lubricates your joints, your body, and helps your body to run as efficiently as possible. Water is the single greatest thing that can happen to your weight loss, your diet, and your lifestyle. By drinking water instead of sugary drinks, you can save hundreds of calories per day. You can lose so much more weight by cutting the sugar and drinking water. Don't drink too much though, too much water is detrimental.

2. Put the Electronics AwayIf you guys would put the electronics away, then you can work out and burn more calories. You have to GO OUT and GET YOUR NEW BODY! If you will get up off of your butt and you would choose something that you enjoy doing while working out you will find that you will accelerate your weight loss. Fat would melt off of your body!

3. Wait Until Your Stomach GrowlsIf you wait until your stomach growls before you eat, you will find that you are only eating what is essential. Eat when your hungry, not when you are bored. By eating when you're hungry, you alleviate the problem of your stomach storing the food that you're eating on top of the food that's in your stomach from being fat that stores in your stomach.

4. Throw Away Your Over-sized Clothes
Throw away your over-sized clothes to start to rethink and visualize your weight loss. When you wear over-sized clothes, your mind doesn't think that it can lose weight. You are already defeated because you're already thinking that you are fat and you have room in your clothes after all! Rethink your weight loss, losing fat, losing weight, and go out and buy some new clothes. Buy clothes that fit you comfortably.

I hope that you guys have enjoyed this blog post about 4 fresh tips for weight loss. Implement these tips to help you guys get started, push through the middle of your weight loss, or finish your weight loss journey. You guys can do this and you can get the body that you guys want. Get ready for spring and summer, they are coming quickly! Comment and like this post and please share this great blog post with family and friends!

New Year's Resolutions...Set it Now?

My question to you is, "Why don't we get started on New Year's resolutions now?" It would make perfect sense, wouldn't it? We always set a resolution at the beginning of the year, and we normally don't have time to get it accomplished. So, by offsetting the resolution making, you give yourself enough time to accomplish the resolution. We are going to talk about some tips for smashing your New Year's resolution in the mouth and get er' done! Let's go!

1. Smaller Plates
-Using smaller plates allows you to see what exactly your eating. We often eat with huge plates and we find ourselves going back for seconds when in fact we are eating thirds and fourths.
-Smaller plates for the holidays will allow you to eat a little bit of everything in moderation; a little bit of turkey, cranberry sauce, maybe a roll, you get the point.

2. Get Up
-If you get up in the morning and have breakfast instead of sleeping in, then your metabolism starts early and you will find it easier to maintain that metabolism.
-Getting up off the couch will allow the blood to flow and will help your metabolism kick into gear even more.

3. Cut Sugar in Half
-Cutting the sugar in half will more than double your fat loss because sugar enters the bloodstream and goes straight to creating fat.
-In addition, sugar is what feeds cancer cells and makes your body vulnerable to being sick and unhealthily overweight.

4. Cheat
-Cheat? I thought we were supposed to be doing good, not bad? Cheating, or rewarding yourself for doing good in your diet will allow your body to take pride in your work at losing weight.
-Your mind will quickly perk up when it is rewarded for keeping your body on the straight and narrow.

5. 4-6 Smaller Meals
-Eating 4-6 smaller meals allows your metabolism to go bonkers because by the time your food from one meal is done digesting, your stomach will have something else to digest.
-Save 1 big meal for dinner and make the other ones smaller.

6. Don't Watch TV
-Watching TV allows for you to see all of the cooking shows and commercials that come with watching TV in general. The first thing to come on a commercial is food.
-Getting off of the tube will allow you to work out and burn some calories as well.

7. Stop Lying to Yourself
-When we are in dieting or weight loss mode, we often lie to ourselves saying, "Oh, well those extra calories don't count for much, I'll eat it anyways." You are only cheating yourself.
-Be honest with yourself. When you do, you will not feel guilty and like eating.

8. Be Self Conscious
-Being self conscious is the feeling you get when you feel like, "a bug in a jar." Make yourself feel guilty when you eat bad and don't do it again.
-Guiltiness is not bad, it means that you care enough to do it right!

9. Set Reasonable Resolutions NOW!
Now that we have talked about some tips on how to accomplish the New Year's resolution, let's talk about setting them. Set the resolutions now. Procrastination now will only lead to procrastinating on your weight loss or diet in the future. Take action and go out and conquer the world. Get the beach body that you deserve. You deserve to look good and feel good, and to be able to look in the mirror and say, "I am beautiful," or, "I am handsome!" You need to put the footsteps to your words about wanting it, you have to just do it.

10. Conquer Them Early
My last point in this blog post is to conquer the resolutions early. As I alluded to earlier in the post, you will procrastinate on the dieting or weight loss if you procrastinate in making the resolution now. Write it down on a piece of paper and post it to the wall that you will see every day multiple times a day. I would suggest putting it in the kitchen! By seeing the resolution, you trick your mind into constantly wanting to accomplish it. This works!

I want to wish you all a great day and I hope that you guys take into account what we have talked about with making the resolutions now. I have given you the gun, the ammo, and have set you on the right path. If you stick to these tips, you can't go wrong in your weight loss and dieting endeavors. If your still not convinced that you should make your New Year's resolution now, think about this question, "Why do I want to diet or lose weight?" It will be a surefire way to respond with making a resolution.

Here's to your success!

5 Tips to Beat Obesity

You may have heard that it was said, "You are what you eat." This isn't always true, but there is something to be said for eating too much or eating a bunch of food that's bad for you. You won't become a fatty, greasy piece of pizza if you eat it, but you may become obese or overweight if you eat too much pizza, too often. You won't become a carrot if you eat it either! You can become someone that obese if you eat obese inducing foods. Not to worry, we are going to give you 5 tips to jumpstart you on your beating obesity.

1. Listen
A lot of us, when we are looking for something to eat have a little voice in our head warning us not to eat what we are looking at. This little voice seems to disappear after we begin eating, and then it shows up near the end of our meal, right before dessert. Listen to that voice the first time if you know that the food or drink is going to be bad for you. If you decide to eat that bad food, eat a little bit of it and be done. If you go to a restaurant, eat half of your meal and then put the other half in the box.

2. Work-out
Working out is a long lost thing of the past. I mean, you have a few guys that work out hard, they look good, but we need more of those people. If you need something to help you help you to get started, start with trying to do 20 pushups. If that is easy for you consider doing the Batman workout. The main thing is to get off the couch and get going. You can't lose fat when you do nothing to burn the fat. We have tons of workouts to help you. Get up!

3. Invest
Invest in good food for your diet. So many people buy fatty, junky, and poor quality food that the body absolutely despises. Your taste buds may think that it tastes good, but your body is screaming and yelling that it is poison and detrimental to you. Invest in some fresh produce, good whole grains, nuts, and other good foods. Stop paying very little for food that just isn't worth giving a second thought to and invest some money in good foods.

4. Slower is Better
Losing weight slower is better than losing it fast because you never really get used to being lighter than you were. When you lose weight fast your body doesn't get the message until months after you have lost the weight. By then you have started to go back to eating your junk food. Eat your good foods, work out, and lose weight as it comes. Losing your weight slower is way better than losing it fast. Fat doesn't burn that quick anyways!

5. Run
This tip may be something that not everyone can do. If you can't run then jog or walk. Get out into that summer heat and burn some fat off. Take plenty of water as you can become dehydrated while running, jogging, or walking. Don't just sit at home and watch this beautiful season go by without taking full advantage of it. Run like Usain Bolt does when he runs his record pace. Uh...maybe we can't run that fast, but we can still run and workout to get to a place where we are fit and built.

I'm glad you guys have joined us in our weight loss journeys. These tips have helped me immensely and I urge you to please use these tips and share them with family and friends. Implement these tips to get the body that you want and beat obesity with a vengeance. We all dream and wish that we could have a body like Batman, Thor, or maybe even Captain America, but keep in mind that it takes dedication and a will to want to change your body. Let's do it!

9 Weight Loss Tips

I thought you guys would probably like to know that you aren't the only one that needs tips for weight loss.
I searched through the internet hundreds of times for weight loss tips.
I would like to share the weight loss tips that have personally helped me.
So, here we go!

1. Start Today Don't Start Tomorrow
Starting today instead of tomorrow gets you going on your weight loss instead of procrastinating.

2. Stick to Low Fat Foods
Sticking to low fat foods is pretty essential for weight loss. Eating fat while trying to lose fat is just stupid.

3. Eat Low Cal.
Eating lower calorie foods is also an integral part to weight loss. The calories that are extra are calories that keep you from losing weight. It takes 3,500 calories to burn 1 pound of fat.

4. Stop Lying to Yourself
Stop lying to yourself when it comes to foods that look good. Just because it looks good does not mean that it is good for you!

5. Don't Listen to Your Gut
When you listen to your gut, you will find that you eat a TON of food that is really not essential for daily living. Stick to drinking water when you get what you think is hunger pangs. They see if you are hungry after the water.

6. Beer...Extra Calories
Beer is extra calories that can be avoided by drinking water. I know that it may be hard to put the beer down. Just try to cut one or two out of your life a week to safe some calories.

7. Work Out
You can not lose weight when you don't work out! You can't expect your body to get rid of calories when you don't participate in the one thing that will make the calories and fat go away. Get going!

8. Run With a Friend
Running with a friend will help you to keep going when the going gets rough. That accountability partner is what will help you get through.

9. Push Harder
Push harder when you think you have nothing left. That is the one time when you will realize that adrenaline will kick in and enable you to go further than you thought you could!

EXTRA: Go out and get it! Anything worth having is worth working for!

10 Weight Loss Tips for Women!

If you are a woman that has trouble wearing certain pieces of clothing because you don't think you look good, then this blog post is for you.
If you are someone that just needs a few tips because you don't have a clue on what to do, then read on.
Here are the 10 tips for weight loss for women!

1. Go Walking
If you are someone that loves to walk and doesn't mind a little sweat, (Many people don't like sweat even though they know that weight loss comes with it) then take a little walk around the block or a five minute walk. Even a five minute walk can be beneficial and can add up to big weight loss in the end!

2.  Add, Don't Subtract
Adding fruits to a meal for desert or as a snack can be beneficial because your stomach fills up quicker.
Also, adding vegetables to your soups and stews is good as it gives a healthier stand point.
Add fruits and vegetables to start toward energy, to feed the muscle, to burn the fat.

3. Drink More Water
This is a somewhat cliche tip for women and men in weight loss, but it is essential.
Water is like the lubricant of your body and even more energy that your body gets as it runs more efficiently.
Drink 48 oz. a day or three water bottles.
This goal is great because its a good amount of water without going overboard.

4. Eat When You're Hungry
So often we eat and splurge, even when we aren't hungry.
This tip goes hand in hand with #3 as we are often thirsty, not hungry.
Take a sip of water and step back before you go and splurge.

5. Share Your Dinner
Share your dinner with your husband.
By sharing your dinner, both of you are happily satisfied instead of overstuffed.
For those of you that love eating a huge plate worth of food, get used to eating half of it.
This will add up in the long run.

6. Stop Eating 3-4 Hours Before Bedtime
This tip is something that not many of us really consider.
By eating right up to when you are going to sleep you consume the calories and fat that, in turn, sticks right onto your stomach, adding to the fat.
Stop eating 3-4 hours before bedtime to give adequate time to digest.

7. Enjoy a Treat
Sometimes you just want a treat or to treat yourself to something that tastes good.
Reward yourself for doing well on your weight loss at least once a week.
Many people are loss-a-holics that go cold turkey, and they don't reward themselves.
You set yourself up for failure when you don't get a reward because your body begins to wonder what it has to do to get something good.

8. Food En Fuego (On Fire)
Add spices or chilies to your food to add a new spice.
Hot or spicy foods take longer to digest and boost your metabolism.
Make it spicy and enjoy a new flavor to savor.

9. Use Something Besides Food to Cope with Stress
Many people eat loads of food within a few minutes because they have a test in school coming or a deadline at work coming up soon. Read a good book or listen to music that relaxes you.
Keeping a journal or meditating can also be great for getting rid of stress without eating.
Avoid the unnecessary calories that come from eating from stress.

10. Eat at Home
Fast food is a ginormous amount of calories and fat that you absolutely don't need.
Eat at home and make a home cooked meal.
It will be healthier and will be better for you in the long run.

Women, get on these tips and act now!
Lose those pounds and boost that weight loss.
