| Getting Started |
|
Joe and I have been working together for about two weeks now, and he's lost an incredible 11 pounds in that short amount of time with a whopping 6 lb. drop in Week #2 alone. His numbers are off the charts - but that's not what impresses me the most about Joe. You see, he had an exerspy collecting dust long before we started working together and knew "he should be doing something". As is typical, our first discussion focused on how to get started and what to do. These conversations often meander with lots of different thoughts and emotions because there is usual an inner struggle of what to do and how to do it. Joe was no different, but we ended the call on a positive note with the agreement to touch base again in a week. As is also common with many new dads, Joe got off to an inconsistent start. I shot him a couple of emails emphasizing the importance of consistency on both logging his food and wearing his expersy which was showing some gaps. A few days later he confessed he was disjointed, and we set up another call. From that point forward, Joe has been in overdrive. He has incorporated his entire family, become completely committed to the process, raised his awareness to a whole new level and the results speak for themselves. There's no secret to his success. If you were to look at his activity monitor, you would be impressed, I am. He burns between 3750 - 4000 calories on most days...and he has a desk job! It's really impressive and that's only half of it. His nutrition is near perfect without depriving himself but rather educating himself to lower calorie alternatives. That's how he's lost so much weight so quickly - HUGE calorie deficits. I could share some great quotes from Joe but why don't you check them out for yourself at our new Facebook fan page and join the discussion. We've also added a cool new page to take the pledge and share your own story. Our goal of 1 million pounds is a big one, so I need all the help I can get spreading the word. Healthy Jumping...

It seems I often get questions from people who want to lose weight about how to get started. I guess this makes sense because getting started and not getting started usually separates those that talk about it versus those that actually take action and begin the journey. I also get this question as a last resort from those still searching for a magic pill solution who are hoping my response is a specific remedy. Sorry, those answers end up in the overflowing "failure bucket".
On the topic of getting started, I wanted to share an inspirational story of one of my new dads who is doing a tremendous job in his first couple of weeks. His name is Joe, and he is the perfect new member of the group because he's admittedly overweight, wants to make a change and has two kids he loves deeply and doesn't want to let down. In fact, in one of our first discussions, he shared with me that he quit smoking about six months ago because his kids pleaded with him to do so. This is just the type of story I'm looking for when evaluating a dad's level of commitment.
