I think I give people the wrong idea.

I always talk about how hard it was to put on a seat belt and wipe my butt when I was obese.

The Starting Line

It’s was the end of September in 2011. I sat in a crowded room, wearing a size 60-suit coat, dress pants with a 58-inch waste. I sat around my peers, who had all made fitness a priority. Together, we listened to stories of others' successes. I thought to myself, why not me?

As you may or may not know, I love working out. This is from someone who has spent most of his life in the “morbidly obese” category. About four years back when I was able to be more active, I made a promise never to stop. I have not and I love the gym more and more each day.

February 24th, 2008 is not a special day for most. It was a Sunday. I could not tell you what the weather was like here in Orlando that day. In fact, I do not remember a whole lot about that day.

The only thing I remember is that was the day I decided to change my life forever.

Take it from someone who has done it – weight loss is no easy task. But in the end, it’s SO worth it. I bet you want my secret, huh? Well, I didn’t take any pills, I rarely used protein powder, and there wasn’t any “dieting.”

I simply used Anytime Health.

Inspired by their experience on ABC’s Secret Millionaire, the co-founders of Anytime Fitness challenged ten FitFluential bloggers to eat healthy for $35/week.

$35 is not a lot of money for an entire week, but these 10 bloggers proved that it is possible to eat healthy (and tastily) on a budget!

Belviq (generic name- lorcaserin) is the new kid on the block when it comes to weight loss, and it’s the first weight loss drug to gain approval in 13 years. The drug works by activating a brain receptor that makes an individual feel full and, as with most weight loss drugs, is supposed to be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.
