Well, it is finally here. My web site is up and I am now taking subscriptions to my monthly coaching newsletter. My site is www.askcoachb.com.
This newsletter will guide you through to living a healthier lifestyle. it is not another diet or exercise program. I do not believe in diets and do not train anyone to diet. I teach people how to change thier lives a little at a time so there is very little effort. It becomes second nature after awhile.
The exercises are set up to be completed in 10 to 20 minutes. Anyone can do them from the young to the old, the fit to the not-so-fit, men and women. You determine your intensity which determines your results. No equipment or gym membership is needed. You save thousands a year over traditional methods that don't work for everyone.
On top of all that, you will get two reports for free when you sign up. These reports provide you with the tools needed to start losing weight NOW! There is much more information on my site so go to www.askcoachb.com now.
For $9.95 a month you have little to lose (except for weight) and a lot to gain. You can also email me directly at coachb@askcoachb.com. What are you waiting for? It is almost the new year!

The Only One That Matters is YOU!
There are so many reasons that people go on diets or start an exercise program. They may want to look good for a vacation, family pictures, class reunion or any other event where they don't want to look "bad". Other reasons are because someone says something to them. It could be someone being mean or someone who means good. It could be a friend, a spouse or even your doctor.
Most, and I mean close to all, fail to accomplish their goal or stay at the proper weight. It is because they are not doing it for the most important reason. YOU!
You have to want to do it for yourself, not for someone else. If you want it, you can do it properly and stay with it. This is the number one reason why people who have become successful at maintaining a healthy weight stay there with little to no trouble.
A case in point is from the show "The Biggest Loser" which just ended the season a couple of days ago. A couple of weeks back, one of the trainers (Bob) was trying to explain to one of the women that she needs to want to lose the weight for herself, not just to win the game. He used the first season winner as an example. That person was so intent on 'playing the game' that when he left the show, he didn't know what to do. He gained all of the weight he had lost plus!
To add more to this point, the woman who won was not concerned with the game. Her first priority was to repair her relationship with her mother. She accomplished that and realized that as they got deeper into the season. Her second focus was on losing the weight. This became her only focus after her mother was voted off. She wanted to feel better about herself. The result was that she lost almost half her body weight. The women who was so intent on winning the game came in third.
Bottom line, look deep down inside. If you are overweight you know you have some problems. Look to find what causes you to eat poorly. Don't say that you are happy with yourself if you are overweight to obese. You are lying to yourself and anyone else you say this to. But that doesn't matter. You need to want to get healthy for yourself.
Once you have decided this, act on it. My monthly newsletter will be available next week. It will guide you to a better and happier lifestyle. It is going to be an easy transition. No diets, bland or complicated foods. No spending hours in gyms or running miles and miles. It will become second nature and you will wonder why you didn't do this before.
Stay tuned to this blog for the release of my web site.

Weight Watchers is Finally Getting It!
I always let everyone know that I don't believe in diets. So why would I be writing about Weight Watchers?
The answer is simple. They finally woke up and realized I am right! It has been on the news here more than once that Weight Watchers is changing their program. Not a little change, but a major overhaul. They are changing the program to advocate a healthy lifestyle.
Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, South Beach Diet and countless others all claim that you will lose a lot of weight over a short period of time. If you stick with the program and follow exactly what they say to do, you will. I have never disputed that people lose weight.
The problem with diets is that they are too restrictive. Plus, when someone says "I am going on a diet", it indicates that some day they will be off the diet. And they will. They will also gain back all the weight they lost plus a few extra pounds.
This is because it is designed for short term results. A better approach is what I have advocated. Learn to live healthier. In other words, develope a healthy lifestyle. This is done gradually over time. You need to unlearn bad habits and replace them with good ones. Unless you know what to look for, you need to have a lifestyle coach.
I am not sure exactly how Weight Watchers intends to run their program. They are not releasing the details until the new year. But what I can pretty much guess is that it is going to cost a few bucks! They have a lot of overhead to cover. They are releasing this because they want to increase revenues.
Your alternative. Go with my program. I have been coaching healthy lifestyles for a long time now. It is not an experiment. It is also not a way to "get rich". Anyone who knows me understands that I have a passion for helping people. That is why I am going to be unveiling my newsletter within the next couple of weeks. It will teach you how to live a healthy lifestyle simply. It does not have to be hard.
Keep following this blog. Shortly I will reveal a charter member price and some free bonuses for subscribing to my newsletter. The web site is almost complete and when it is done, my blog followers will have the first opportunity to get in to this program that will change your life forever.

Gain 10 Pounds Over the Holidays
Well, another major "eating" holiday down and three more weeks of parties, treats, and another "eating" holiday. You see it many times about diet tips and to eat this and try that. The problem is that trying these tips is just like trying a new diet. It is hard to do!
If you don't already live a healthy lifestyle, my tip to you would be to spend the next three weeks looking into how you can start one. This is contrary to what most trainers and diet gurus will tell you. That is becasue they want your business and they want it NOW!
On Thanksgiving Day most Americans consume 3,000 calories on average for one meal. That is more than most people should consume in a single day! There are ways to cut back but it is about learning how over time. Not overnight.
Another statistic shows that the average weight gain over the holiday season (Christmas season) is 10 pounds. That is a lot for that short of period. However, if you try the recommended tips and tricks from the gurus before you are ready or before you know why, you will probably give up quickly and end up gaining more than 10 pounds.
My recommendation is to enjoy the holidays. I want you to suceed in making a positive change to your life. Make a New Years resolution to live a healthier lifestyle. Then sign up for my monthly newsletter and I will coach you from month-to-month on the best way to accomplish this so that you do reach your goals.
My program is not a lose weight fast gimmick. Losing weight too fast is not good for the body and in order to achieve rapid weight lose requires great sacrifice. Then when it is over you still have not learned how to live healthier on a daily basis so you will gain all of the weight back plus several more pounds.
Keep checking back to this blog each week. I will have my web site up with all the details in about 2 to 4 weeks. I am going to be offering charter memberships and special bonuses. Until then, enjoy your family and friends.

Take Me Off Your Email List
Everyone who has followed my blog knows that I am creating a newsletter to help anyone who wants help in living a better lifestyle. Statistics have shown that obesity is on the rise. There are also studies showing that weight problems rise even more during economic tough times. This is due to the fact that everyone looks for "cheap" meals which almost always happen to be very high in calories, fat, sugar and carbohydrates.
Now I am going to stray from what this blog is about. I get these "chain emails" from friends and family and their friends and family and so on. They range from polictial to religious to items about animals, kids, global warming, the war, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. I don't mind much. I'll glance through them and then delete. I usually do not pass them on though unless I think there is some real value to someone.
This is where I have a problem. I used these emails to obtain a list of people to start sending out early notices and information about my upcoming newletter. They are the same people who are on every list. And we don't get just one. So what I am getting at is these people don't mind getting these mindless, and sometimes highly controversial, eamils. They don't ask to be removed from the email list because they keep getting them. So why do they want to be off mine? I am not asking for anything. It is not controversial, political or religious.
The point is that something of value, where there is greater than a 60% chance they need, they don't want! Why? I am sure they are many people who can give me their theories but will we truly know? Probably not. Does it matter? No.
The final point here is that I am available to help whoever wants my help. If you are even slightly over weight and say you are fine with that then so be it. You are not only lying to me but to yourself. No one is happy being over weight. There may be pyschological issues to deal with but you are not happy. Or you may have just settled on this state because it is easy.
If you ever get a chance to meet me you will see that I mean what I say. I truely want to help as many people as I can. Maybe it will be you or someone you know. I don't want people to waste a lot of money and not see any results. My system works for those that choose to participate. Keep following and you will soon see my new web site and program for those that wnat to change.
Have a safe Thanksgiving and don't eat too much!

Lose 25 lbs and 3 Inches From Your Waist!
A study from the University of North Carolina discovered the people consume 450 calories a day from beverages. This is two times as much as what was consumed 30 years ago. This will add an extra 23 pounds of weight per year that needs to be burned (most likely just carried around as extra weight)!
Beverages are the most difficult calories to gauge because there are no visual clues like other foods. However, these are the easiest to cut from your diet. Reviewing what you consume and making better choices will help you lose weight. People have lost as much as 25 pounds and 3 inches off their waist from just changing this one aspect of their daily diet.
Here are the 20 “worst” items to drink:

The Worst Drink in America by the Numbers:
73: the number of ingredients in this milkshake
66: teaspoons of sugar in this drink
11: the amount of Heath Bars you have to consume to equal the calories
12: average number of minutes to consume the drink
240: minutes on the treadmill, running at a moderate pace, to burn off these calories
My advice is to stick to water: no calories, no fat, and no carbohydrates. If you need to have a little more flavor, make sure you check out these 3 items on the nutrition label. You need to get these as low as possible. When you cut out these calories, you will lose weight.
This is a sample of the coaching tips I will be giving in my newsletter. Stay tuned for the first issue to come out soon. Until then, follow this simple tip and see the results

Rising Risk for Obese Kids
Ultrasound imaging reveals accelerated evidence of heart disease in obese children. What this means is that they have middle-aged arteries! A glimpse inside the neck arteries of obese children and teens reveals cardivascular systems more like 45 year olds. This has been seen in children as young as 10 years old!
Obese children and teens, especially those with abnormal cholesterol levels, should focus on diet and exercise to prevent early aging of their arteries, new research suggests.
A study at the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Medicine says that more than half of the 70 youngsters ages 10 to 18 enrolled in the Children’s Mercy Hospital study had a “vascular age” about 30 years older than their actual age, putting them at risk for early heart attacks, stroke — and death. That finding might also hold true for many more young people in the United States, where more than a quarter of kids ages 2 to 19 are considered obese.
Changing diet and increasing exercise can slow and perhaps stop deterioration. This new research is a reminder to take steps to prevent obesity and high cholesterol before children’s arteries grow older than their years.
This is a sad state. Parents who keep feeding their children a poor diet and not get them to exercise are only hurting them. They are actually putting them in danger of shortening their lives. But I believe the problem is with the whole family. Typically, fat parents will raise fat kids. This may be a bold statement and hard for people to hear but it holds a lot of truth. If you don't believe me, spend some time at one of the Walt Disney parks and just observe the people.
One way to reverse this is to live a healthy lifestyle as a family. Eat balanced meals and better snacks. Does that mean a child has to forgo the cake at a birthday party? No it doesn't. If you eat well all week, ONE piece of cake will not hurt. Do some physical activity as a family.
My monthly coaching newsletter is a great place to start. There are tips on how to change to a healthier lifestyle so that it becomes second nature. There are great tasting, easy to make recipes that the family can enjoy. The exercises can be done by anyone at any age and in any physical condition. Make it a family affair.
My newsletter will be out soon. Follow this blog for future news. Until then, celebrate life; be good to yourself.
