			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" hspace="10" src="http://www.unstoppablefatloss.com/blog/uploaded/kimlyons.jpg" alt="Kim Lyons" />Did you make a New Year&#8217;s Resolution to finally get in shape this year? Did you set a specific scale number or body fat percentage that you would like to achieve? Or was it a certain pant size or dress size that you are aiming for instead? Maybe there&#8217;s a specific look that you are going for and you would love to see yourself with six pack abs?</p>
<p>Were you one of those rare people who actually visualized what you are going to look like when you achieve your goal? What helped you create that vision? Do you have an old picture of a <strong>leaner and healthier version of yourself</strong> or are you relying on magazine covers to help you visualize the new flat tummy that you are going to sculpt?</p>
<p>Speaking of magazine covers&#8230; how often do you look to them for <strong>motivation and inspiration</strong>? It&#8217;s hard not to notice them when you are in the checkout aisle at your local grocery store. I have to admit that I get a quick motivational boost when I see these fitness magazines while the cashier is scanning my food. There was even a time when I put back a tub of ice cream at the check out aisle because a magazine cover inspired me <img src='http://unstoppablefatloss.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>How often do you use these fitness cover models as a model for what you are aiming for with your fat loss goals?</p>
<p>OK, so I just through a whole bunch of questions at you. I hope that you aren&#8217;t feeling overwhelmed. There is a purpose to it all and here&#8217;s the main one&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-388"></span><br />
When setting your <strong>fat loss goals</strong> and envisioning yourself in a vibrant, healthy, energetic body it&#8217;s important to visualize the <strong>BEST YOU That YOU Can Be!</strong></p>
<p>Comparing yourself to cover models is simply not fair unless you plan on making a career out of it yourself and you don&#8217;t mind seeing yourself airbrushed and Photoshopped.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m all cool with looking at a picture in a fitness magazine to <strong>spark that inspiration to make a change in your life</strong> or pull yourself out of a lazy day and get your butt working out.</p>
<p>&#8230;But I want the best eye popping abs that <strong><em>I Can Have</em></strong> not what someone else can achieve.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t stand the phrase &#8220;<strong>Realistic Goals</strong>&#8220;. I find that the phrase tends to limit what&#8217;s really possible. But if your goal is to be the best you that you can be, burn that stubborn belly fat to reveal a flatter tummy, and look great in a bathing suit or evening gown, you really shouldn&#8217;t be looking at these cover models physiques as something to aim for.</p>
<p>Could you achieve a body like that if you really busted your butt off? It&#8217;s possible. Could you maintain it for life? Maybe.</p>
<p>Even though I don&#8217;t like the phrase &#8216;realistic goals&#8217;, here&#8217;s why I say that this may not be a realistic goal for you&#8230; Those cover models don&#8217;t even look exactly as the pictures are showing. They&#8217;ve been airbrushed and who knows what else.</p>
<p>Did you ever see that Dove commercial of a model getting Photoshopped prior to having her picture up on a billboard? Check it out&#8230;</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pcFlxSlOKNI&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pcFlxSlOKNI&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Many women may see that billboard and wish they had that models cheeks or lips&#8230; Those cheeks and lips aren&#8217;t even that models!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my point. Many pictures aren&#8217;t even REAL! The Muscle and Fitness cover image that I have at the top of this post features Kim and Gunter. They are one of the most fit couples out there. They look outstanding without being airbrushed. But I guarantee there&#8217;s been some work done to those photos.</p>
<p>Not to mention that there was perfect lighting conditions and an entire makeup crew to get them looking perfect. You would be blown away by how much make up is applied to people before stepping in front of the camera. I had a makeup crew during the recording of parts of The Change Series movie. I was caked with makeup&#8230; after all, my head is pretty shiny <img src='http://unstoppablefatloss.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Plus, these models go through some serious training to look as great as they can for a photo shoot. And, they don&#8217;t look like that all year long.</p>
<p>When I interviewed Clark Bartram, one of the most recognized fitness models out there, for the Unstoppable Fat Loss program even he said people should not be trying to look like his magazine cover pictures. It&#8217;s his job to be in absolutely outstanding shape, but if you are an engineer, a hair stylist, or a nurse you don&#8217;t need to be ridiculously ripped.</p>
<p>So why should you try to visualize yourself with that body? Does it make sense to aim for those super elite high standards? Do you think it may set you up for frustration and disappointment? What kind of emotions will it stir up in you?</p>
<p>Now tell me&#8230; what&#8217;s the BEST YOU look like? How does she/he feel? What challenges has this best you overcome to become this incredible person that you always knew you had inside of you? What does the future look like for this BEST YOU? What opportunities have presented themselves to you? What new goals will this best you be aiming for now that you realize you are capable of greatness?</p>
<p>I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions. What I have shared are my own personal thoughts and it&#8217;s quite alright if yours are different. Take a moment and share them. Let&#8217;s have a fun discussion on this topic.</p>
<p>I appreciate YOU!</p>
<p>Keeping It Real,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m totally psyched to do my first live video broadcast tonight at 9pm EST and even more excited about the guest expert who will be sharing the spotlight with Angie and I. Jon Benson with be helping us answer some of your most pressing fat loss questions that you have been sending in. You can watch the broadcast live or view the recording at <strong><a href="http://www.unstoppablefatloss.com/JonBensonLive.php">Unstoppable Fat Loss Live with Jon Benson</a></strong>.</p>
<p>If you are joining us live there is a chat box where you can have a back and forth conversation with us. I&#8217;m really interested to see what you think about the live video broadcast and if you find it any more helpful than webcasts or the traditional teleseminars that you may have been a part of.</p>
<p>The thing that I like about the video broadcast is that I can demonstrate an exercise or movement and you can visually see it, rather than me trying to explain it over the phone.</p>
<p>We are really looking forward to answering your questions tonight and plan on doing many more of these live video broadcasts to deliver the best possible quality information to you.</p>
<p>Have an absolutely amazing day!</p>
<p>Scott Tousignant</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There really is an intelligent way to lose weight and as you can probably guess it doesn&#8217;t involve going on a crash diet or spending countless hours in the gym. The intelligent approach to fat loss is to skyrocket your motivation by focusing just as much effort on strengthening your mental muscle as you do the other muscles in your body. </p>
<p>The holiday season has arrived, which means that you will be surrounded with <strong>tempting foods</strong>, alcoholic beverages, and be presented with many opportunities to bail out on your workouts.  Lucky for you, the <strong>Unstoppable Fat Loss mindset</strong> that you are developing will help you blast through any obstacle or barrier that you are faced with during this festive time of year.</p>
<p>If you have been thinking of <strong>starting a weight loss routine</strong> and are beginning to debate whether or not to put it off until the New Year, it’s time to take action.  There’s no better time than now.</p>
<p>If you have been following an exercise and diet program for a little while and you are getting a little nervous about how you will handle the <strong>holiday temptations</strong>, it’s time to begin thinking of how great it’s going to feel as you continue to make progress during these challenging times.</p>
<p>I have a great audio for you today that will help skyrocket your fat loss motivation.  <span id="more-331"></span>This interview was conducted by my friend Scott Colby and in the process raised thousands of dollars for <strong>Trekking For Kids</strong>.  I love being a part of these fund raising events and dishing out some outstanding content in the process.</p>
<p>The questions that we answered on mindset and motivation for weight loss were absolutely awesome.  Scott and I were joined by our friends and motivation experts Jim Katsoulis and Kevin Gianni on the call as well.  This made for one heck of a <strong>motivating audio that you will not want to miss</strong>.</p>
<p>Download this audio and pop it into your mp3 player and head out for an energizing walk.  When you get back let me know what you have learned from the audio and what you are going to take action on today.</p>
<p><strong>Let’s get through the holiday season in better shape than where we are at today</strong>.  When other people are just setting their New Years Resolutions, you’ll already be well on your way to achieving them and may have already achieved those goals.</p>
<p><strong>Wrap 2008 up in style!!!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought this was an interesting study to report from Boston College: <strong>&#8220;60% of the successful dieters had strong beliefs that they could handle uncomfortable situations. Their thoughts reflect a very positive and firm belief that they are in control of their eating.&#8221;</strong><br />
Whereas, two-thirds of the unsuccessful dieters reported worries about what other people were thinking of them. </p>
<p><strong>You, too, can be a very successful eater. Work on these stategies: </strong><span id="more-321"></span></p>
<p>If you want to be rock solid in your food choices, rock solid in believing in yourself, rock solid in all aspects of your fit lifestyle &#8211; the choice is yours. Tell yourself right now that <strong>you are not your past</strong>. Tell yourself that you are entitled to eat however you please. If you pass on the donuts at work, and co-workers begin to question you &#8211; stand firm. Simply state that you are trying to eat healthier and change the subject. <strong>This is about you, not about them. </strong></p>
<p>You should not feel rude for turning down food or a second helping. You have made a conscious decision to take care of your health. You want to have more energy, feel more vibrant, experience more joy in your life. When you are in these awkward situations, keep reminding yourself why this is so important to you. <strong>Stay strong and focused.</strong> You CAN do this. Each time you are faced with these kinds of situations and stay focused, you will become that much more stronger. </p>
<p>Successful eaters also try to <strong>stay as conscious as possible when it comes to food.</strong> They stop to think before they eat that chocolate bar&#8230; &#8220;Will these extra calories fit into my food plan for the week? Or, can I find another way to celebrate this occasion?&#8221; I do recommend that you <strong>schedule in a treat meal or two during the week. </strong>This tactic does encourage you to stick to your plan because you do not feel &#8216;denied&#8217; of your favorite foods. </p>
<p>I hope that these tips will be useful to you, especially over the holidays. What I strongly suggest is that you begin to <strong>imagine you are already at a big gathering </strong>with lots of tempting foods&#8230;how will you react? Picture how you want the night to unfold. This is very powerful. Visualize the foods you will choose and see yourself passing by those that are not conducive to your fit lifestyle. </p>
<p>Oh, and if you want to get really serious and get some serious results you may want to check out <strong><a href="http://www.unstoppablefatloss.com/success.php">Unstoppable Fat Loss</a></strong>. These audios are packed with the <strong>key strategies that will skyrocket your motivation to create a rock solid mindset.</strong> You will learn how to transform your thoughts to the actions that will get you closer to your fitness goals. All aspects of your life will brighten. If you don&#8217;t have a strong mindset, just how long will your motivation last? This is just where its at folks!</p>
<p>You can do this! <img src='http://unstoppablefatloss.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just wanted to share a great tip with you that I find is working very well with my training clients. We have a <strong>&#8216;check in&#8217; call</strong>. We set up a time to do a quick call to each other in the morning. This call is solely to let the other person know that you did your cardio. Wow, is it effective! </p>
<p>Once that alarm goes off in the morning, I am UP! I am ready to get going on my bike or walk because I know that someone is counting on me to do it. I know that I will be getting a call soon and I don&#8217;t want to have any lame excuses. <strong>This set up will encourage you to be accountable to a plan and motivated to prove to someone else that you did it!</strong><span id="more-314"></span></p>
<p>If my client did not do their cardio (for whatever reason&#8230;), I then ask WHEN will they be doing it and I let them know again that I will be calling. I know they don&#8217;t want to let me down. I know that they will do it because they will feel really lousy the second time around if they don&#8217;t follow through. </p>
<p>I am keeping them <strong>focused and on task</strong>, as well as they are doing the same for me. I know that I am going to do my cardio in the morning before I call my client because I am who they look up to. </p>
<p>I strongly suggest that you think of someone you can set up this kind of &#8216;contract&#8217; with. It is so easy to do and it&#8217;s just a quick phone call. Get right to the point. Also be sure to set up a time to call for the next cardio day. Have a plan in place!</p>
<p>Let me know how this technique works for you&#8230;</p>
<p>Cheers to health, </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Tom Venuto</strong> is the &#8216;go to guy&#8217; when it comes to the most effective strategies to <strong>burn fat</strong> and today marks the beginning of <strong>a new era in Fat Loss</strong>. Tom has officially announced the pre-release of his hardcover book &#8220;<strong><a href="http://www.BodyFatSolution.com">The Body Fat Solution</a></strong>&#8220;. I have only had the chance to review one chapter from the book so far which happens to include a reference to a husband and wife team named Scott and Angie <img src='http://unstoppablefatloss.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  so at this time I can&#8217;t provide a full review of the book for you. </p>
<p><img align="right" style="margin:0 10px 10px 0"  src="http://www.unstoppablefatloss.com/blog/uploaded/bodyfatsolution.jpg" alt="The Body Fat Solution" />I do however find it necessary to bring Tom&#8217;s new hardcover book to your attention and Tom so graciously provided me with a press release to share with you to give you a little insight into what you can expect from <strong><a href="http://www.BodyFatSolution.com">The Body Fat Solution</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Below, I&#8217;ve included some questions that Tom answered describing the difference between his #1 Best Selling Diet Book &#8220;<strong><a href="http://www.burnoffthefat.com">Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle</a></strong>&#8221; and his new book &#8220;<strong>The Body Fat Solution</strong>&#8220;. I encourage you to read those answers. For now, here&#8217;s the Press Release&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-309"></span><br />
<strong>From Tom Venuto<br />
Via (Avery Books/Penguin Group, New York City)<br />
Re: pre-release announcement</strong></p>
<p>For Immediate Release. October 27th, 2008</p>
<p>New Hardcover Book By Tom Venuto Reveals the 5 Principles for Burning Fat, Building Lean Muscle, Ending Emotional Eating and Maintaining Your Perfect Weight.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.BodyFatSolution.com">http://www.BodyFatSolution.com</a></strong></p>
<p>By now, we all know that we gain fat when we take in more <strong>calories than we burn</strong>. But we&#8217;re not always rational creatures when it comes to food and exercise.</p>
<p>Recognizing the emotional and psychological factors that sabotage success, Tom Venuto&#8217;s new Book, <strong>The Body Fat Solution</strong> (Avery/Penguin) hones in on the real causes of body-fat and provides a sound plan to take back control of our bodies and end <strong>emotional eating</strong> for good.</p>
<p>In <strong>The Body Fat Solution</strong>, Venuto outlines the five principles that will retrain your mind and body for automatic success. Determined to help you keep the fat off for good, Tom shows you how to:</p>
<li><strong>End emotional eating</strong> and <strong>stop diet self sabotage</strong></li>
<li>Re-program your mind for &#8220;auto-pilot&#8221; success</li>
<li>Go beyond goal setting by crafting a powerful &#8220;vision&#8221; that motivates you for life</li>
<li>Eat healthy, delicious food almost unconsciously and shed the pounds almost effortlessly</li>
<li>Reshape your body through lean muscle training for a strong core and lean, toned frame</li>
<li>Invite a supportive social network of friends, family, and mentors to help you achieve your dream body</li>
<p>Venuto reminds us that <strong>calories do count</strong>! But <strong>The Body Fat Solution is neither super low carb nor super low fat, and he steers clear of demonizing entire food groups</strong>.  Instead, Venuto helps you <strong>personalize an eating plan</strong> that takes into account your unique metabolism and calorie needs. He then presents illustrated workout programs to maximize the success of the diet plan that are fast and efficient.</p>
<p>Most important, he helps you plan and organize your life so that you can fully implement your new goals and monitor your progress, and finally maintain your perfect weight for life.</p>
<p>Tapping into his years of training expertise and personal experience, Venuto helps readers change their relationship with food, empowers them to take charge of their lives, and delivers a program that<br />
promises dramatic and permanent results.</p>
<h3>What&#8217;s The Difference Between &#8220;Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle&#8221; and &#8220;The Body Fat Solution&#8221;?</h3>
<p><strong>Question:</strong></p>
<p>Tom, Can you point out what the difference is between this new book and BFFM? What&#8217;s missing in BFFM that&#8217;s covered here and vice versa?</p>
<p>Is The Body Fat Solution just a sub-set of BFFM?</p>
<p>Also, most important, who is the intended audience of The Body Fat Solution, and BFFM, and how do they differ?</p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong></p>
<p>Burn the fat, feed the muscle (BFFM) was designed to be complete and definitive guide to nutrition for fat loss, based on the bodybuilding / fitness/ figure method of eating. The majority of BFFM is devoted to nutrition, with ancillary chapters on setting goals effectively and on weight training and cardio, also following the &#8220;bodybuilding method&#8221;</p>
<p>The target audience for BFFM is anyone who is serious about fat loss, and who wants to maximize their results by putting in the time, paying attention to details, using advanced techniques (such as those used by bodybuilders before competition), and doing nutrition by the numbers (counting calories and macros)</p>
<p>Generally, BFFM is for people who are highly motivated.</p>
<p>The new hardcover book, The Body fat solution was written for anyone who is overweight, or who was formerly overweight and who wants to maintain their ideal weight without struggle.</p>
<p>The Body Fat solution is not for athletes, bodybuilders or people who want to reach 4 or 5% body fat.</p>
<p>Body Fat Solution is especially written for people who struggle with inconsistent motivation, emotional eating, binge eating and other forms of self sabotage.</p>
<p>The body fat solution gives help for people struggling with everyday challenges &#8211; like frequent travel, restaurant temptations, busy schedules, high stress and social pressure &#8211; things that can can get in the way of the best nutrition or training strategy</p>
<p>IN the body fat solution, one concise chapter on nutrition is included along with chapters on cardio training and a time-efficient weight training program for the busy person, which makes The Body fat Solution a complete lifestyle program.</p>
<p>BUT, the major message is that what nutrition or training program you should follow is not the most important question. the real question is what makes you follow your program? and conversely, what makes you fall off your program so easily?</p>
<p>The body fat solution gets to the emotional and psychological root causes of body fat and shows you how to fix these hidden factors that sabotage most people</p>
<p>There has been a huge void in the book marketplace for this kind of information, until now</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s press release was just a very preliminary announcement and &#8220;heads up.&#8221; I will explaining the book in much, much greater detail in a free teleseminar in early January. watch for announcements and news in the months ahead.</p>
<p>Tom</p>
<p><strong>Question:</strong></p>
<p>Hi Tom,</p>
<p>I have your &#8220;<strong><a href="http://www.burnoffthefat.com">Burn the Fat</a></strong>&#8221; e-book and it is the best book on diet I have ever read. Does your new hardcover book cover the same information as the e-book? I want to add the hardcover book to my nutrition library if it covers everything contained in the e-book. Your e-book is 300 pages and it is complete. Will the hardcover be just as comprehensive as the e-book?<br />
Thanks,<br />
Joe </p>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong></p>
<p>Joe, The new book, <strong>The Body Fat Solution</strong>, is not a hardcover version of <strong><a href="http://www.burnoffthefat.com">Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle</a></strong>.</p>
<p>The Body fat solution is a completely new book with new content, a new focus and aimed at a somewhat different audience.</p>

<p>Brian Tracy &#8211; Motivational Speaker, Author &#8211; &#8220;Reinvention&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>In 2003 Tom Venuto changed the fat loss world with his ebook &#8220;Burn the Fat &#8211; Feed the Muscle&#8221;&#8230; In 2008 he&#8217;s done it again with the Body Fat Solution. The World&#8217;s expert on fat loss speaks &#8211; I listen.<br />
I&#8217;ve often said &#8212; Fat loss doesn&#8217;t start with an exercise program, a diet or a supplement&#8230; It starts with a mindset shift. That mindset shift begins with Tom&#8217;s new book. If you want to change your body &#8211; you need to change your mind. And to do that &#8211; you need Tom Venuto.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you lacking the <strong><a href="http://www.unstoppablefatloss.com/success.php">motivation</a></strong> to stick with a <strong>diet and exercise program</strong>?  Let’s face it.  It doesn’t matter how effective a nutrition or workout program is, if you are not motivated to follow through and use it to the best of your abilities, the weight loss program becomes utterly useless. </p>
<p>Recently I was interviewed by Sincere Hogan as a series dedicated to raising money for the victims of Hurricane Ike.  Sincere grilled my friend Scott Colby and I on the topic of mindset and motivation and we dished out some great information which I am certain will <strong>accelerate your fat loss results</strong>.</p>
<p>Here are some of the questions that Sincere asked us…</p>
<h3>Creating An Unstoppable Mindset</h3>
<p><span id="more-308"></span></p>
<li>What are some of the biggest obstacles you find your clients<br />
dealing with in terms of their mindset, when starting a new program?</li>
<li>How do you suggest they overcome their obstacles?</li>
<li>How important is it to have a support system in place? Or is it<br />
even important at all?</li>
<li>What are some techniques you use with your clients in order to<br />
create a success mindset?</li>
<li>Please give examples of you best case studies, especially those who<br />
implemented  (or did not implement) your mindset strategies.</li>
<li>How long did the process take for your case study to reach their<br />
initial goals?</li>
<li>What are your steps to proceed after a client has met those goals<br />
and keep them motivated?</li>
<li>What&#8217;s more important, motivation or inspiration?</li>
<li>How receptive are those, the client seeks for support, to you and<br />
the client&#8217;s strategies for attaining their goals?</li>
<li>What are your top 3 tips to creating a success mindset?</li>
<p>You can download the mp3 audio to listen to anywhere you wish, as well as the pdf transcripts to this interview on weight loss motivation and mindset.  In the transcripts I’m referred to as TheFitB to make it easier to distinguish between the two Scott’s, myself and Scott Colby.</p>
<p>I would love to hear your feedback about the interview. Did you pick up on any tips that you will begin to implement immediately?  Have you spent enough time focusing on building an <strong><a href="http://www.unstoppablefatloss.com/success.php">Unstoppable Mindset</a></strong>?</p>

<p>Here is what Isabel had to say after completing the first Unstoppable Fat Loss 21 Day Transformation Contest&#8230;</p>
<p>21 days and beyond… </p>
<p>Who knew that 21 days could result in such a vast array of changes in my personality and outlook?<br />
When I first joined the program I thought it would give me a <strong>motivational boost to encourage me to stay on track with my clean eating and exercise</strong>. I needed something to keep me away from ice cream and chips for the rest of the summer… boy was I surprised at all that I got in return. <span id="more-302"></span></p>
<p>As a result of the Unstoppable Fat Loss program I have switched the outlook on my whole future. In order to better understand how this has changed me, it’s important to understand where I was…. </p>
<p>I was resentful and unhappy in so many areas of my life because I didn’t want to be working long hours and feeling unfulfilled in the management position that I have. I felt unappreciated and unloved. I felt that my needs were not being met and that I was being taken for granted. I felt like no one cared about me and I was craving more fun in my life.</p>
<p>I was constantly avoiding confrontation and any other situation that would cause me grief. I would over eat healthy foods or indulge in junk food once in a while to satisfy the urge for a reward because I was working my ass off and nothing seemed to give. I felt like my relationship with my boys and my husband was slipping through my fingers because I’d get home so tired, drained and fed up with dealing with people that I really didn’t want to hear another complaint or whiny story.</p>
<p>I wanted to come home, workout and stare at the walls some days because I was tired of dealing with people. Things never seemed to go my way and I was just so tired of it all. </p>
<p>Guilt, sadness and many other emotions were making me seek out food or cigarettes… no wonder I couldn’t break through in my weight loss when <strong>I was dealing with so many limiting or negative beliefs</strong>. I felt like I couldn’t lose any more weight since I’d already lost so much and I might as well be happy where I was. I still wasn’t comfortable with my body and felt that I’d never be happy with my body.</p>
<p><strong>During the Unstoppable Fat Loss program I worked on a variety of issues that were causing me to over eat</strong>. I analyzed my life and my situation and by focusing on my mindset it is like a filter has been lifted off my eyes. I am no longer bitter and angry. I feel love pouring out of me instead of resentment. I have set up areas of encouraging images and quotes in my home, my car and my office to keep me inspired and motivated.</p>
<p><strong>My active participation on the forum was a big benefit to me</strong>. Sharing and reading the posts from others gave me ideas on how to improve my own situation or things to take action on. </p>
<p>This program has given me a wonderful toolkit that I can use to apply to many situations in my life.<br />
I have raised my standards as a result of the interviews and <strong>I have shifted the emotional attachment I had to ice cream</strong>. I see it for what it really is. I have not had to really resist anything with the need of willpower. I only want the best for my body and it has been easy these past few weeks. No Doritos as a result of stress or ice cream due to sadness. I haven’t really been too sad or upset either… hooray for that! </p>
<p><strong>I decided that I could and would become a non-smoker</strong>. I reviewed all the benefits and reasons for becoming a non-smoker in a similar fashion as we did for all the benefits and reasons for improving our health and releasing fat. I applied the strategies and skills that I’ve learned and I am so confident that this was the last time I would smoke again. I am now a non-smoker.</p>
<p>My family life has improved. I smile and engage in conversation with my family more. I feel love and happiness fill my heart when I’m driving home rather than feeling dread. When I wake up in the morning I am excited and ready to start the day. My morning routine keeps me inspired and I look forward to another awesome day. When I go to bed I have a routine that helps center me and calm me down. All this is thanks to what I have learned and applied during the program. <strong>None of this would have been possible this quickly if it wasn’t for Unstoppable Fat Loss!!</strong></p>
<p>At work I am happier and not resentful. I understand that I will not be in this line of work forever and with my goals and vision I will work from home or closer to home and help others transform their lives such as I did. I see my time there as a positive experience where I gain the financial resources and experience to help me move along in the future. I have intended my new career and I am grateful for what I have and I am ready to receive the wonderful bounty that awaits me.</p>
<p>I feel at peace. I am looking at everything with an attitude of gratitude and prosperity rather than being miserable and upset. I love the world and myself. I smile so much and I chose to engage in more fun activities. Can you believe that my weekends are becoming fuller and fuller with social activities out of the blue? Before I wanted to shut myself off from the world and wanted everyone to give me space. </p>
<p>I still have a lot to learn and a lot to implement along the way. I am on an un-ending journey of growth and development. <strong>I thought this was the end of my journey but now I understand that this was truly the beginning of another phase and I am forever grateful that I decided to buy this program because of all the blessings it has brought me along the way</strong>. I am so driven to help others transform their lives and embrace a healthy lifestyle and I am so thankful that I have learned so much via this program. The support from our community and the encouragement has really touched my life. </p>
<p>I know this was a challenge and I’m writing this as my submission for the contest but I feel that I am already a winner on so many levels and I’m truly grateful that this program and both Scott and Angie have come into my life. </p>
<p>You guys rock, this program rocks and I love you!!!<br />
Oh yeah…it’s called unstoppable fat loss…<strong>I lost 3.5lbs and 1.5% body fat</strong>. </p>
<p><strong>Thanks again and lots of love,<br />
Isabel a.k.a moon </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sept 29th I turn 33 years old and to celebrate I’m going to reward 3 women and 3 men with the <strong><a href="http://www.unstoppablefatloss.com/success.php">Unstoppable Fat Loss</a></strong> Ultimate Package.  The winners will be selected by the amount of passion, clarity, and drive that they have toward achieving their fat loss goals.  There’s no better way to determine how serious you are about sculpting the body that you deserve, than writing out your <strong>mission statement</strong>.</p>
<p>The most successful people that I’ve come across have all written out their mission statements.  If you have been brushing off this powerful <strong>motivation strategy</strong>, the Unstoppable Fat Loss Birthday Contest will give you the kick in the butt to finally put it into action.</p>
<p><strong>To enter the Unstoppable Fat Loss Birthday Contest</strong> all you have to do is share your mission statement with us in the comment box below.  But I don’t want it to be some broad mission statement.  I want to hear what your mission is in the next 21 days.<br />
<span id="more-295"></span><br />
Don’t be afraid to dream big and write a bold mission statement.  Allow me to kick things off with my personal mission statement for the next 21 days.</p>
<h3>Scott Tousignant’s mission statement to achieve Unstoppable Fat Loss is…</h3</p>
<p>Today is October 15th and I am totally fired up to share the exciting news that I have melted 2% body fat from my physique!  The hard work and dedication to living an unstoppable lifestyle in optimum health has paid off big time.</p>
<p>These past 21 days have brought me much closer to my long term goal of achieving 4% body fat by January 8th 2009 when I will be enjoying a Caribbean Cruise with Angie and many of my Unstoppable Fat Loss friends.</p>
<p>It has been the constant reminder of my <strong>ultimate goal or destiny</strong> of reversing the obesity trend that has inspired me to take action each and every day.  I want to leave a legacy of helping millions of people transform their body and live in optimal health.  Being a positive role model is the best tool in helping me fulfill my life’s purpose.</p>
<p>Today, my pants are much looser and Angie has been taking notice of the <strong>new definition in my abs</strong>.  I suspect that this could be part of the reason for the new spark in our relationship.  I feel sexy and Angie lets me know I’m sexy too.</p>
<p>My kids Shayne and Noelle keep flexing their muscles and have been grabbing for more fruit and veggies since they have been seeing me eating them constantly throughout the day.  They love the fact that their mom and dad run around the yard and play games with them all the time.</p>
<p>It’s been the <strong>small improvements each and every day</strong> that have made the difference.  I haven’t been striving for perfection, I have just been aiming to become better today than I was yesterday.</p>
<p>I’m loving life, I love my family, I love my friends, and I love myself.  What more could I ask for?</p>
<p>So there you go.  That’s my mission statement for the next 21 days.  What’s yours?</p>
<p><strong>Start your comment off below with the sentence: {your name}&#8217;s mission statement to achieve Unstoppable Fat Loss is…</strong></p>
<p>I will select 3 women and 3 men as the winners of my Unstoppable Fat Loss Ultimate Package.  If you already own Unstoppable Fat Loss I will do a 1 hour phone consultation with you to take your fat loss success to the next level.</p>
<p>Let me hear those mission statements.  Don’t hold back!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may be surprised when you find out what the <strong>#1 fat loss strategy</strong> is when you want to achieve permanent results.  When it comes to weight loss we all know that we need to improve our diet and increase the amount of physical activity that we do each day.  And lets face it, the reason why we reduce our calories and exercise more is for vanity.  We want to look better right?  Hey, I’m right there with you on that.  But <strong>looking better and getting 6 pack abs</strong> is just a surface reason for losing weight.</p>
<p>In the video below you will see my buddy Rob Poulos, the creator of <strong><a href="http://www.myfatburningfurnace.com">The Fat Burning Furnace</a></strong>, put me through a powerful exercise that brings me to the <strong>‘core reason’ why</strong> I want to reach my goal of <strong>4% body fat by January 8th, 2009</strong>.  </p>
<p>This exercise is the #1 strategy for fat loss in my opinion and it is an absolute must if you expect to maintain your results or take it a step further and improve upon them for future success.</p>
<h3>Discover The #1 Fat Loss Strategy</h3>
<p><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="370" id="viddler_f9943808"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/player/f9943808/" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/player/f9943808/" width="437" height="370" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" name="viddler_f9943808" ></embed></object></p>
<p>Applying this strategy is a surefire way to get you to take action immediately&#8230;<span id="more-290"></span> as well as on a consistent daily basis.  In fact, when I was on the treadmill this morning doing some 9 minute GXP cardio I went through this strategy in my head and was able to increase the intensity of my workout because of the surge of energy from this emotional boost.</p>
<p>Rob’s core reason became magnified recently by the near death experience that I shared with you the other day.  If you haven’t watched the video of the near fatal accident that involved Rob and his two young children, you need to check it out now!  It may be the wake up call that you need.</p>
<p><strong>I strongly urge you to watch the video here:  <a href="http://www.myfatburningfurnace.com">Rob’s Core Reason For Fat Loss</a></strong></p>
<p>Rob’s new found core reason for living in optimal health has inspired him to declare 2008 “<strong>The Year Of Taking Action</strong>”</p>
<p>Rob is providing you with the nudge to take action by including <strong>the best bonus bundle that I’ve ever seen</strong>.  But you need to take immediate action.  This bonus bundle is only available until Thursday Sept 11th at 11:59pm EST.</p>
<p>Join Rob, myself, and thousands of others by declaring 2008 the year that you took action towards the body and life that you deserve.  </p>
<p><strong>Join us at <a href="http://www.MyFatBurningFurnace.com">www.MyFatBurningFurnace.com</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>PS</strong> I’ve been observing the expressions on the faces of Ryan and Sarah (Rob’s kids) as they watch the video of the near fatal accident that they were involved in and it’s obvious to see that they’ve learned just how precious life is.  </p>
<p>That’s pretty young to be learning that kind of lesson, but I’m sure that they will take this experience as Rob has, and inspire the people around them to go after their dreams today and not put them off until tomorrow.</p>
<p><strong>Watch that powerful video here:  <a href="http://www.MyFatBurningFurnace.com">End Procrastination Today!</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>PPS</strong> Be sure to apply the #1 Fat Loss Strategy today.  This is a powerful exercise that you must incorporate into your program.</p>
<p>Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your fat loss journey,</p>
<p>Scott Tousignant</p>
