Wow that is awesome!!! I didn’t realize you were having a contest at your gym. That is great that Chris won and you came in 3rd.

If you don’t mind sharing…how many weeks have you been doing this and how much weight have you lost. We are starting week three of the priming phase and Paul has lost 10 pounds and I have lost 9 pounds. We are really excited with the progress but curious how long we might be on the core phase. I know it is different for each person but you have truly inspired me. I now have several people asking what I am doing since they can see the weight loss. Even my trainer is intrigued and starting to share the book with his other clients.

Have a great day!

Thank you for writing this book and changing my life and my husband's life. The last 8 weeks have been the best! Using the steps that you lay out in the book to change the way you think about eating is incredible. We realized that we were stuck in a rut of just eating the way we always had and exercising 3 days a week with Micky and not getting the results that we wanted. We weren't increasing in size, but we were not decreasing either. The first 3 weeks were hard, I won't lie, but once you get past that and move on to the maintenance phase, it's smooth sailing. We don't deprive ourselves of anything. We still eat out, we have pizza and icecream with our kids and we look and feel great! It taught us how to eat smarter and that sweets and snacking are fine in moderation and on certain days. It gives us something to look forward to each week. We have inspired so many people. Everyday someone calls or emails me asking the name of the "diet" we are on and where can they buy the book. I need to buy some stock in "Cheat to Lose", it's a sure thing! It feels so good to have people come up to me and say, "WOW, you had a 9 pound baby one year ago?" If you could only see my pictures from a year ago- Whoa! I went from a size 12 to a size 6 in 8 weeks. That amazes me. My body fat percentage is now a 13. My weight dropped around 12 pounds and my total inch loss was 8.5 inches. Most of that being in my tummy. Carbs really make a big difference in your pant size and you don't realize it until you start cutting them out. We owe a huge thanks to our incredible trainer as well. Without him giving us this book and starting this contest, we would never have done this. He is great and we thank God each day that he is in our lives. He is tough, but he is worth every minute of it! Thanks Again!
