I've seen very talented, very accomplished people do the book thing and they've all failed miserably. Online coaching and training is where it's at. Weight loss and fitness is big business and from what I've experienced firsthand the exposure of being published in magazines >>>>>>>>>>>>>> any type of degree or personal training certification one can get. I've been able to parlay the magazine exposure into a pretty lucrative business through social media. If I'm able to land a cover, man, that 2 grand would pay for itself 100x over. More importantly though I want to do it for me. Anybody can work a 9-5 and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But I want to do something special while I'm here on this planet. Something that I can look always look back and say I did that and nobody can take it from me. I gambled and it paid off. Landing a magazine cover(s) would be just that for me. It's happening this spring or I will die trying.

Nice, I'm cutting for the first time starting next week for a work "Biggest Loser" competition. I was planning on cutting anyway but taking $500 in prize money from middle-aged hags who think that their Herbalife plan is the greatest thing ever sounds like a great plan.

My 2015 cut starts tomorrow, January 17, 2015. I'm at a respectable 215lbs and 8% body fat. I have a photo s---t with the biggest fitness photographer on the planet the last week of March. All in all it's going to cost me around 2 grand but I'm looking at it as a major investment in my fitness career. I've been featured and profiled in several fitness magazines the past few years but I'm going for a cover with this s---t. Anything less will be a failure. (There's also a Men's Physique Competition in my area the following week and I may do that for the h--- of it.) Needless to say I need to be in tip top shape and I'm going to use this thread as my personal journal. Anybody who's really dieted knows what a mind f--- it can be. Even though I've done this countless times in my life it still presents a challenge every time so I'll be sharing my experiences in here. Also, the end results are always great but as trite as it sounds it's the journey that truly is the fun part. I want to document that this time. So feel free to follow along and/or ask questions. I'll do my best to respond but for the most part this is going to be a journal of sorts.

I'm essentially doing this for me but if you guys are able to get something out of it then it makes it that much better.
