The Official 4th Annual Thanksgiving UN-Stuffing Workout – *FREE*
The great day of eating yourself sleepy, giving thanks for all our blessing is nearly upon us. If you recall, in years past I adopted a particular Thanksgiving eating strategy that I think I will make a tradition. (You can re-check out that article here: Happy Thanksgiving: “F” Moderation . )
So before you drown yourself in gravy, bury your self in mashed potatoes and pound down any pie I suggest you earn it. Yes, you must *EARN* that cheat. Read the full post ... (411 words, 2 images)

The other day I had the idea to do something kinda strange.
You see I help my clients burn fat all the time. Some of my clients have melted off 15-20 in the first month alone.
But none of them have actually SEEN what that fat REALLY looks like. So(with some effort) I managed to get my hands on 15 pounds of ACTUAL fat.
So I decided to do something to show you just what 15 pounds of fat really looks like and I think you’d be surprised at how much room 15 pounds of FAT actually takes up. (It took up most of my table that seats 6 people) Read the full post ... (149 words, 1 image)

After a few short months with Carter Fitness, Kellie’s clothes are now all falling off of her. It’s true.
I apologized to her profusely, but that is a KNOWN side effect of dropping 30 pounds in less than 3 months while following our fitness and fat loss program.
Watch the video below and meet Kellie, who went from “dragging” through her day and HIDING from cameras and to flaunting her new body and feeling more energetic and more confident with every passing moment. Read the full post ... (263 words)

Imagine this: 3 kids (2 of which are twins). Full time job. A husband with a addiction to Oreos (currently receiving treatment, our thoughts are with him). Add to that she is a picky eater. (Maybe you don’t have to imagine)
Does that sound familiar? How does she have time to do anything at all for herself let alone LOSE 4 INCHES FROM HER WAIST (in around 4 weeks.)
Meet Meryl- 44 year old (hot) mother of 3 who also works full time. Watch the video below to see how she managed to overcome some serious “I have no time” issues (again, sound familiar?) to go from looking “ok” to looking crazy good. Read the full post ... (225 words)

(In the final 10 seconds of this short video, you’ll see Donna in her new”skinny” bikini – you DON’T want to miss this.)
But first – Ladies, I’ve got three questions for you. Gents, you’ll totally get this, too
1) How would you react if someone asked you if you were PREGNANT…when you weren’t? (YIKES!)
2) How would it feel to get dressed every day with the sole purpose of "CAMOUFLAGING" your belly fat, love handles, and big butt…Instead of just getting dressed to simply look awesome? (because most of your clothes that are all two or three sizes too small? ) Read the full post ... (535 words)

I have to admit when I first met Donna I just knew it wouldn’t last. She came in to sign up for my 6 Week Body Transformation Program and I thought I‘d be lucky if she stuck around a week. Boy was I wrong.
A job, kids, a broken foot, turning 49, multiple medications, a trip to the ER- all just some of the obstacles she overcame to lose over 30 pounds (which is just *part* of her amazing transformation.)
Watch this video and meet Donna, who clearly proved me (and probably many others) wrong.

It only seems appropriate that at this time of year I have a little discussion on cheating. The temptation is literally at the door. As of Nov. 1st most houses (especially those with kids) and workplaces are overflowing with chocolatey nougaty goodness. There is no holiday quite like Halloween. It is essentially authorized, organized and otherwise socially acceptable begging – but we call it trick or treating.

We dress our kids up and say “look how cute they are – NOW GIVE US CANDY!” By nights’ end the children can take home their bodyweight in candy. After the kids go to bed (if they go to bed) it is time for the parents to exact the “candy tax”- one for you two for me… Read the full post ... (1144 words, 6 images)

For my son Gabe on his 9th birthday…
My favorite before and after to date. It only took 9 years
Happy birthday to my son Gabe, from whom I learn more each day. When I grow up I want to have your drive, your creativity, your love and sweetness for others and your abs.
Love, your Dad.
Saturday was Gabe’s birthday and that got me thinking.
From time to time we look upon the things we own with a fair pride.
I look at my car- I bought that with money I earned. Read the full post ... (338 words, 3 images)
