189 Pounds – Thanks Dr. Andersen & Take Shape For Life
I did it! This morning I weighed 189 pounds! That means I've lost weight to the tune of 51 pounds since January 1! My goal was to get under 200 pounds; however, my coach, Lori Andersen, encouraged me to go the extra 10 pounds. Honestly, as positive and goal oriented as I am, I just couldn't believe that I would ever be under 190 pounds again without the "help" of an illness.
The journey has actually been a lot easier than I imagined thanks to the combination Medifast meal replacements and the personal involvement of having a coach from Medifast's coaching division: Take Shape For Life. Co-founder, Dr. Wayne Andersen, is an amazing source of inspiration, education, and vision. His vision for the Health Coaches to get America healthy is one thing. How that vision translates to each client is another. I'm living proof and a huge fan!
[please note, the photo on my blog will be updated with a new one soon. This shot is me at 240 pounds. You'll see the new me soon. Yesterday we had a photo shoot so a new Kevin will be appearing soon.]

The Sling Shot and The Goal Met
My earlier post told of catching up with Glenn at Daytona Beach. As Paul Harvey would say, “And now the rest of the story.”
It was just about this spot where Glenn took my photo with the rainbow in my hand. The other end of the rainbow (in the middle of the shot). That’s not why this photo matters, however.
Look to the right on the photo and you’ll see two red and white “cranes” protruding into the air with a small black dot suspended in mid-air between them. That, my friends, is The Sling Shot.
Glenn said to me, “One time in my life, I would like to do something like that before I die.” Oh my gosh, that’s all I needed to hear. “Let’s do it then, Glenn,” I said. It is like the movie, The Bucket List, grab opportunities when you can. And so on June 24, 2008 around 7:30 PM, Glenn scratched one item off of his “Bucket List.” What a privilege to be able to participate in such a simple request.
What about you? Do you have a bucket list – a list of things you would like to do, see, achieve before you die? Who do you know that has a dream that you can contribute to making it happen? Seize the moment and give it your best shot!
On the continuation of this blog, check out our shot in the air.
Rainbow Magic & On-Purpose Pals
June 24th I invested the afternoon catching up with my friend Glenn Hettinger from Ponte Vedra, FL. I’ve known Glenn for twenty-five years and we’ve always had an honest and engaging friendship bouncing ideas, family matters, and business ideas off of one another.
Daytona Beach has proven to be a great mid-point for us to rendezvous about once a year. While we were walking the beach a rainbow appeared so Glenn snapped this picture of me holding it. I thought it was a fun shot.
Who in your life are you missing?
Who speaks candidly into your spirit?
Who marks the years with you?
Call, write, or email whoever came to your mind as I was asking these questions. They haven’t heard from you in a while and now is the perfect time to set up a time to invest some time together.
Meeting Brian Biro – America’s Breakthrough Coach
Asheville, NC – May 16, 2008
One of the great joys of being a best selling author and professional speaker is the other best selling authors and speakers one gets to meet. Friday, I once again had this joy with a man who all about having a Joyful Spirit – the title of one of his books.
Brian Biro is America’s Breakthrough Coach – a true On-Purpose Person. A guy with a joyful heart and a sharing spirit. Allow me to put a blatant plug in for Brian to any readers looking for a speaker. Brian truly is a coach, motivational speaker, and, most importantly, the genuine article. Here’s a guy who gets people on their feet in a greater belief in their true selves and possibilities.
Brian Biro’s first book, Beyond Success, provides an in depth look and understanding into "The 15 Secrets of Effective Leadership and Life" through the eyes of former UCLA basketball coach, John Wooden. Coach Wooden is unarguably the greatest college basketball coach of all time, yet the titles were incidental to his goal of developing boys into men. While coaching swimming at UCLA, Brian and Coach Wooden formed a friendship so this book is truly a personal account rather than the distance of a journalist. Read it and learn.
