Weight loss can be a perpetual, frustrating, roller coaster. One week you discover you lost 5 pounds and two week later, you discover you gained back the 5 pounds you lost only to gain another 2 pounds the week after that.
Or perhaps you had successfully lost 10-20 lbs or more only to find yourself gaining...
I have to say the last year has gone by so quickly. The incredible daily positive encouragement I have received from all of our healthy lifestyle experts was more than critical along this journey.
The positive energy in the healthy lifestyle world is one of the most attractive reasons to starve and sweat....
Two weeks to go.
The two biggest obstacles have been Recovery and Energy Levels for consistent daily workouts. My original excuse of not enough time is funny now. I seem to make more work-out time now that I have less time than ever with a new office and coaching gig.
I am not sure that the pictures or...
Beer, Ice Cream, and Nachos. Fitness and Healthy Living is not that difficult.
As promised here are the multiple choice, question and answer subjects that even the fitness world does not want to answer. Fitness experts tend to communicate in absolutes which can sometimes alienate the average,...
4 Weeks ago I posed to the experts if it was possible to lose 40 pounds in 26 weeks or less. Overwhelmingly the answer is yes. The last 4 weeks have been the beginning of a last ditch effort to make my goal weight in this 52 week series. My plans have been thwarted and derailed by Holidays,...
I only have less than 26 weeks to lose almost 40 pounds. Is it possible? What do I need to do to lose that much weight in a short period of time? Can I do it in a healthy way? Will the weight loss last? What are the odds I decide to just give up and eat ice cream all day, everyday for 26 weeks...
Here we are, exactly one half year into my quest for a healthier life.
Please forgive me readers, it has been three weeks since my last Fat-2-Fit confession. I have fallen into the: ‘I feel better, losing the weight was easy, and I will never go back to my bad eating habits’ false sense of...
Name one food that is believed to be healthy or good for you, but is the worst thing you could ever ingest. Why?
Sugar substitutes like equal, sucralose, saccharin, nutrasweet and others are the WORST possible things (I can’t even call them food) to put into your body. Many people they are better for...
After so much serious debate and informative health industry information, this week was of a much lighter fare. We asked the experts, what was the best workout song ever? From Rocky to Hip-Hop, from the 80′s to even more classic, the tastes of the experts is all over the board. Do you agree with...
Here is what we asked the experts last week.
So experts, what is the most common excuse you hear from folks keeping them from their fitness goals? What is your solution to remove that obstacle when you hear it?

1.) I’m just too busy
2.) I don’t know what to do
3.)...
More than one-third of the way through this pilgrimage to a healthier lifestyle and my motivation is at an all time low. Twenty weeks is a long time to fight my chocolate and carbohydrate addiction (like bread and beer). I have found a pile of excuses to blend with masterful procrastination perfection in...
Last Week’s Question was so vigorously debated that it took time to follow the threads through the emails that make up the expert commentary we bring to you each week. Here is what we asked and the information about a product that is in all the headlines right now, completely unedited and as it...
