GWL Club Members Lose Big!

OK, so the weight loss numbers that our new members are posting are even surprising me. I am not sure why I am surprised because it is the reason I created this program. But until you have actual members going through the program, there is always that anxious optimism. Here are some observations through the first four weeks of the program

  • The average weight loss per member is 14 pounds! This isn't bogus water weight or some "cleanse" diet.
  • The exerspy, in conjunction with the Weight Loss Tracker is a game changer. One member told me it is like a cell phone. The iPhone is cool but without the AT&T service plan, it is pretty much worthless.
  • The GWL Club is changing the way people think. It is amazingly adaptable to their life as opposed to being asked to adapt to a new program. One member told me he simply stopped bringing change to the office so he was not tempted to use the vending machine. It is a small victory but they all add up.
  • You do not need a gym membership. My favorite comment came from a woman who lost 9 lbs. in two weeks. She told me she had a gym membership and had not used in months. When I asked her if being on this program encouraged her to go back to the gym, she still had not - which made me feel even better.
  • When I asked members if people were noticing their weight loss, you could almost see the smiles through the phone. One story in particular made me laugh about a guy who took his teenage daughter to a fast food restaurant. When he ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with no fries and fruit, she asked him what was wrong. Classic.

The Power of Giving

For those of you who read me regularly, you're well aware of my growing appreciation and excitement for my new Guaranteed Weight Loss Club and coaching program. One of the great joys of my weight loss journey has been realizing that others have been able to learn from my experience, apply it and achieve their own weight loss success.

A few years ago, when I encountered the first customer who told me how much I was helping them, it was awkward. I kind of brushed it off and told them it was nothing. The more and more it happened, the more energized I became to share my knowledge and continue my mission of spreading health, wellness and weight loss. Like growing any new company, it's never easy, and my journey has endured its own highs and lows.

I guess where I'm going with all this is that it's taken me almost four years to realize that I am in a wonderful position to help people. What now feels like common sense to me, is eye opening for a lot of people who struggle with their weight. I'm beyond trying to come up with new and exciting ways to disguise the same sound advice I know works. I've realized it's like watching a great production or key note speech. The reason they are great is because they have practiced the same material over and over again so it comes across effortlessly. The simple fact is this: I know this topic as good as anyone in the market and the passionate facts are what people not only need but want.

Enlyten Yourself & Get Great Deals!

I went to Dallas last weekend to meet the owner and executive team from Enlyten. It meant time away from my family on a weekend and a packed agenda in the comfort of a windowless hotel board room so I was a little reluctant. Thankfully, it was one of the best business decisions I've ever made.

As most of you know, I started selling the Enlyten Perfomance Strips just a couple of months ago but remain astonished by how much people love the product. Even better than the great products are the people behind the products. We've all witnessed great products fail because the owner couldn't get out of their own way. We've also seen marginal products survive because of the ingenuity of a stellar management team. It's rare when you can combine the two, and I think that's exactly what I witnessed this past weekend.

The CEO, Lynn Mitchell, and his team are so focused on supporting their customers and distributors proven by some incredible announcements they made over the weekend. The first one is the best because it directly impacts you - 10% off anything you order. Simply click here and enter promo code: mystrips and you'll get an automatic 10% off your order. Simple right?

Chris Chirstie, You Won - Now Lead by Example

If you've read my previous posts you know I have a high intolerance for politicians. Sure, I voted this past Tuesday in the small mayoral election in my town. But I voted for the Independent candidate for the first time in my life  (coincidentally, he got 12% of the total vote which was pretty impressive). If you read the paper or watched any cable news network over the past two days, you couldn't avoid the discussion about the gubernatorial race in Virginia and New Jersey and the fact that Republicans won them both (I guess we all need a break from the H1N1 coverage). Like everything in politics, that set off a huge debate on what it means on a variety of levels.

Since I live in Maryland, I have no idea what went on with the New Jersey election, but I gather it got pretty heated towards the end like most highly-contested races. There was even one story floating around about how Corzine was playing the "fat card" to try and discredit Chris Christie. Making fun of someone who is obese never helps the situation. Equally derogatory is the notion that it's not the individuals fault. It is their fault and it is in their control to change it.

I'd like to make a public challenge to the new governor and ask him to leverage the most powerful form of influence anyone can use: lead by example and lose the weight while in office.

What Is Your BMI?

Now that I’m spending a lot more of my time coaching clients on how to lose weight, I find myself asking the same series of questions. The good news is most people have no idea what the answers are and the better news is that I can share some wisdom to help them develop a game plan to succeed.

You can probably guess one of the questions that I ask everyone is, “How much to do you weigh?” Seems like a straight forward question, right? You would think, but, rarely do I get a straight-forward answer. The more common response is “I don’t know” or “About XXX pounds” or my personal favorite “40 pounds more than I want to be”. Hmmm...if you don’t know how much you weigh today, then 40 lbs might be too much or perhaps it’s not enough. Sadly it’s usually the latter.
