Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit

Many of us, after marriage, get “comfortable” and wake up years later, like this follower, wanting to turn back the clock. I hope we all remember we can and that it’s never too late. Everyone meet Russ from Pittsgrove, NJ: Here is Russ’s story:  When I got married 9 years ago, I weighed 175 pounds, lifted weights and was in pretty good overall shape. Of course, like most men, after the wedding was over I got comfortable and figured… ‘Well, the wedding is over, time to relax!’ I put on 50 pounds in little over 2 years and weighed over …

I am extremely excited about the forthcoming publication of Fit2Fat2Fit.  I decided to do something that most personal trainers will never do. I accepted the possibility that my clients were right and I was wrong. If my message wasn’t sinking in, maybe I didn’t really get how hard the road from unhealthy to healthy was. Maybe the ‘trainer’ needed to learn some things first.  The physical, emotional, and mental lessons learned are more than I bargained for, and the advice I now share I have lived through. I now know we all can find the tools, inner strength, and persistence needed, and …

This Saturday marks the end of my Fit2Fat2Fit journey. The past couple weeks as I’ve reflected on all that’s happened, specifically all I’ve learned, and experiences I had I can honestly say this journey was not what I expected in so many ways. I don’t have any regrets though and I’m looking forward to the future. Speaking of which… many of you have asked me “What happens next?” From this experience I have really seen that my passion will forever be helping others become healthy and fit. I’m hoping that through my site I will be able to devote 100% …

We all have similar stories, but at the same time they are all so personal, individual and unique.

We’re excited to feature our first couple.  It really does make a difference having someone joining you on this new #teamdrew lifestyle and doing it together, especially someone like your spouse (can you say tough love?!) or someone that you live with.  It makes it easier when both are working together towards the same goal (a little healthy competition never hurt anyone!).

Everyone meet JC from Coquitlam, BC Canada: BEFORE (Sept 29, 2011):   DURING (April 15, 2012): Here is JC’s story: “I don’t have an emotional story on how I got to where I was nor do I turn to food to make me feel better; I just loved to eat… the wrong foods unfortunately. My Chilean background doesn’t help either, we South Americans love our asados (BBQs)! Over the last ten years my weight …

How would it feel to lose more than 65 inches or 100 lbs?! It’s obvious this would be life-changing, but the last sentence of Sue’s story will blow you away (so make sure you’re sitting down)!

In between having my other 4 children I would gain weight (of …

It’s good to have the support from the one’s you love as you’re making a lifestyle change.  Whether it’s a friend, co-worker, family member, or in this follower’s case a spouse… try to find a support system!

This is a story about persistence and much more than just weight loss. Everyone meet George T. Whaley from Newport, NC: Here is George’s story: Do your kids ever ask you, “Are we there yet?”  Well, I’m not there yet.  I have lost a lot of weight and a lot of inches but I still have a ways to go.  My ultimate goal is not based upon a number on the scale.  I have learned from my doctor and the fit2fat2fit program that I need to focus on my medical health and a long term healthy lifestyle.  Losing weight, keeping it …

We loved this story for many reasons, but one major one is the way he compares being “motivated” to becoming “inspired”. I hope YOU find what inspires you, in order to acquire the “life-long” drive and determination to become and stay healthy. Everyone meet Nate from Eagle Mountain, Utah: Week 1 (Nov. 2011):                                                     Week 20 (March 2012):          Weight: 190 lbs                                                             Weight: 159.2 lbs          Waist: 40″                                                                      Waist: 32″ Here is …

Everyone meet Morgan from Colorado: BEFORE (Nov. 2011):                  AFTER (March 2012): Here is Morgan’s story: I started my journey with fit2fat2fit at 302lbs. I’ve always been a big guy and was not aware of how unhealthy my lifestyle was.  Now 4 months into my journey I’m down 53.4lbs. This lifestyle change has been phenomenal! My life has had a complete 180. I don’t mean that lightly. I have gone from the reality of my every day routine being a struggle, chaffing, loss of breath and low confidence. I had the mentality that this was it, there was no other way …
