Is Your New Year’s Resolution To Get To A Healthier Place?

January 3, 2017 By kwmccarthy

Do you identify with any of the reasons in this video for being at a healthier place?

A Weighty Conversation is a short 3 minutes packed with inner thoughts. Consider all you have to gain by losing weight. Don’t go it alone! Get a proven system. Get help, and get to a healthier place.

In the New Year, many of us ponder this fresh start with an eye toward the bathroom scale and losing weight. I called this condition “my fat suit” — an extra layer of Kevin over the top of my inner athlete.

Weight loss for many of us is a place in our lives where we’re struggling. Refusing to be resigned to the extra pounds is one thing; raising the bar on what it is costing you is another. Awareness and goal setting are important, but a system makes all the difference for success.

If a health coach forwarded this message to you, then by all means get back to that person to help you.

If you don’t have a health coach, we offer an affordable solution to help you keep your New Year’s Resolution to lose that 10, 20, 30 pounds or more … and keep off the weight. This is a health gain approach rather than just weight loss. This glass half-full approach is positive, proactive, and proven if you’ll allow us to coach you and do the program as it is designed.

We lead a dedicated team of health coaches, who come alongside of you so you can experience weight loss success and health gain using the Take Shape For Life system. For most people, this approach is cost neutral relative to your current food intake and the coaching is free. You may even save money!

Invest in a free consultation to explore what’s possible for your health and well-being. Call Judith at 407.927.1642 or drop me an email via this blog and I’ll forward it to her. I lost 50 pounds on this program in 2008 and have kept it off. I fully endorse it because it helped me to be on-purpose in my health.

Be On-Purpose!

Kevin, How Did You Lose Weight And Keep It Off For Two Years ?

July 20, 2010 By kwmccarthy

Many people have asked me to reveal the secret to my success with losing my weight and keeping it off.  This On-Purpose “Minute” gives you the skinny on the keys to my weight loss, keeping it off, and staying at a healthy weight. Warning: this “Minute” is a bit different from what you might be used to seeing.

After watching the video, keep reading as I share my update and a surprising residual insight to this whole healthy experience.

OK!  So I had a bit of fun there with you in this On-Purpose Minute.  Hey, it’s the summer so it’s time to cut loose a bit.  Did you watch it all the way?  Hopefully, you hung in there with me and learned my many “secrets.”

From March to July of 2008, I lost 50 pounds.  Candidly, about 10 pounds have crept back on me here on my 2nd anniversary.  I’m in much better shape so I hope some of it is muscle weight – or is that a rationalization?  The tips I gave you work amazing well, if you apply them.

More importantly, I’ve learned a few things about myself, too.  Keeping a healthy weight isn’t nearly as hard as I imagined it to be.  Certainly my behaviors and habits are much healthier, yet there is still this unnecessary and unhealthy desire – call it an occasional lust – for sweets.  It isn’t a physiological need, but an emotional longing of some sort.  But what?

Some unmet need, hurt, frustration, or anger causes me to run to my drug of choice.  I’m working on understanding what the heck is happening and the pattern.  It mostly rears its ugly head at night.

Thankfully the weight loss and new habits have given me a margin of health, a fresh start, and a clearer mind, but there’s more work to be done on good (not so old) old Kevin.  By stripping away a pile of fat-boy producing habits, I’m getting to the root of my issue(s).  It is all good!

My prayer would be that you, too, get on a journey of healthy on-purpose living.  Your personal insights refine and enrich your life if you will go to them instead of running from them.  If you have a health coach, then work with them.   If you need a health coach, then please contact Judith McCarthy at judithmccarthy@cfl.rr.com to learn how you can do what I did.
