Not making progress on your weight loss program? The solution may be simpler than you think! Here are three very simple steps to help point you in the right direction.
Step 1: Eat less.
I'm not here to bash any of the "fad" diets, as they all serve an important purpose - to disguise the ugly truth that to lose weight, you have to eat less. The old standard Atkins, the more avant guarde TNT diet, and even the seemingly counter-intuitive intermittent fasting approach are all similarly successful because they rely on the simple concepts of thermodynamics to trick the dieter into creating a caloric deficit.
Macronutrient distribution, meal timing, and food selection all play minor roles relative to overall food intake. "Carbs" won't make you fat. Eating after 8 PM won't make you fat. Not even deep-fried donuts will make you fat. Ultimately, the only thing that will make you fat is excess calories.
The take-home message here? Eat what you like, but don't overdo it. If you're gaining weight, eat a smaller breakfast, or forego the wine with dinner or soda with lunch. There's no need to deprive yourself of your favorite foods - just eat less! Sorry Dr. Atkins, but it really is that simple.
Step 2: Exercise more.
As mentioned above, weight loss or gain will occur by creating a caloric deficit or surplus, respectively. This can be achieved in one of three ways - through diet alone, exercise alone, or diet and exercise combined. If, for example, your goal is to lose weight, you can skip the 500 calorie chocolate cake dessert, eat the dessert and then jog for an hour, or eat half of the dessert and jog for 30 minutes.
In terms of body composition and overall fitness levels, the third option is most effective, but any of the three options will result in almost identical weight loss. That said, since most people want to improve their health, look good, and indulge in "treats" every once in a while, exercising a little more and eating a little less is generally the most viable option.
Step 3: Log!
These days, it's extraordinarily easy to determine the nutritional profile of whatever you might consume, even when eating out. Most restaurants will provide a guide upon request, and free online resources such as Fitday or CalorieKing will take care of the rest.
If you're serious about reaching your goals, start keeping track of what you eat; if you're not making progress, then you can look back at your log and see exactly what you need to change. It may be a little bit inconvenient, but will certainly pay off in the long run.
There you have it! Three simple - though not necessarily easy - steps to help get you to where you want to be. Good luck!

Bill Weber Is My Brother From Another Mother
Bill Weber Is My Brother From Another Mother. Super cool, straight shooter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OUR DIRECTMATCHES INCOME-4 simple steps:
My name is Bill Weber. My son created DirectMatches. I have a present and ever-growing, down line, with another company, of many MILLIONS of people. I remain the top earner after 8 years there and have been a top earner for over 25 years. I am your adviser. The following, easy to duplicate, training will help you build a, huge, down line and income for life. You, Jeff Horihan and I can work together as a team.
We are in changing times. Many people are going through rough times, record job and home losses. The American dream is in trouble. The average person’s future is dictated to them as they roll with the, economic, punches, trying to hang on to a job and hope for a, government, bailout. You can create your own future through positive thought, applied. You can beat this world-wide, economic crisis by changing your thinking and going to work.
DirectMatches * MRM* A personal bail out plan. It’s the best example of wealth creation, through social networking, in the world—a non MLM sales method for our executives to earn, serious, income regardless of their experience or marketing skills.
MRM, called Multi-Referral-Marketing, is both a system and a method to build income. A revolutionary, non sales, way to build a business, it is simply an invitation process whereas MLM is a sales process. Most people are not sales people and that is one of the reasons why there is a high failure rate in the MLM arena.
The huge money is in low-cost, residual. This has always been the case, but even more so in a huge recession like we're in today. We have the best Low-Cost - High Residual pay plan in the industry. There is serious income involved here. We are changing thousands of lives with increasing check runs every wk.
This is a brilliant concept. DirectMatches is the first social networking company to put together a pay plan that allows people a potential earnings of over $48,000 a month, plus, for less than $1 a day. You get paid on renewals. In addition there is a 50%, up front, affiliate commission--2 plans in one, something for everyone.
Getting Started With DirectMatches--Make This Pay:
DirectMatches - Executive - the best upgrade--it pays the most - you can win a new car. If you're an Executive, you will attract Executives. People follow the leader.
Take immediate action--Make this pay quickly--check out the compensation plan--it has been paying for years. Don't over-complicate it, it's simple. If you do not understand it, draw it out. The first time I did this, I didn't sleep right for days. Get some of those 50% checks coming in.
Learn as you go--Start inviting people in today. Remember, this is not MLM sales. This is MRM, social networking at its best. You build by invitation.
If you have an interested prospect, send them this easy start.
Step 1. Invite the people you know--your list—you are not sell them--invite people—it’s simple. Do not prejudge a person. Go for everyone. Anyone can run with this.
Step 2. Go to the Back Office--pull up the best social networking training in the entire industry. Print it out. Learn how to create your own leads, how to turn spam into gold and much more.
Step 3. Contact your Sponsor & all the people in your up line that are focused. Follow the Leaders--Copy what works & improve on it.
Step 4. Join the company calls and invite guests.
FOLLOW UP WITH DIRECTMATCHES IS SIMPLE:
1--Invite people (everyone) into this, networking, goldmine.
2—When they join--read their profiles.
Personal Communications--The King Of Marketing
3--Now contact them--talk about their profile and then ask them what they think about DirectMatches: A positive response is usually an upgrade--(Phone or Skype is best). It is not a cold call to call your down line. It’s a sponsor's obligation.
4--Teach the people that upgrade to repeat this process:
Some Thoughts and Tips:
Joining all the social networks will not make your fortune—learn how to social network and you can build a down line without end!
You do not need to be a master marketer, a computer genius or an internet guru. You can build an income through everyday conversational skills. You will learn why personal communications is superior to all other marketing methods.
Network marketing will never be the same. Social networking is turning the tables upside down. Now the Newbie, the person with little, previous success, has a chance to out-perform the big gurus and experienced marketers.
DIRECTMATCHES THE WORLD'S BEST & HIGHEST PAYING SOCIAL AND BUSINESS NETWORK:
Social networking is the fastest growing trend on the internet today.
DirectMatches has a new, modern way for people to earn an income...Social Networking. You earn money by inviting people into this, wonderful, online community for free. All businesses and business-minded people need what DirectMatches has to offer. It is not necessary to sell them or convince them. They need business exposure to survive. Giving someone what they need and want is far easier than sales. Every business minded person on the planet needs the DirectMatches services and networking community.
You talk to people, invite them in for something they need rather than try to sell them something you want them to buy. Many of us have tried to convince and sell people. Most of us have spent more than we earned in MLM sales.
Now, you actually build an income by talking to people, making friends, and building relationships.
Common Sense---The Best Marketing Tool:
Network Marketing Should Be Called Networking People. It's People That Build Your Business.
Every Person Has A List And Abilities Superior To Yours. MRM shows you how to pick up a person’s list, their talent and put it to work for you.
"Most people think they are working smart. Genius is encouraging the smart people to work for you." Bill Weber
It is amazing to me how people will automate their business—drive traffic, hit people with auto response, fill auto responders, send an impersonal welcome letter and do everything in their power to avoid talking to people, when talking to people, building relationships, is how you build a, huge, down line and income that sticks. Personal communications is the king of all marketing!

A Bit of History and Perspective
I've played farmer, I've played banker.
I've done wholesaling, been in retail, direct sales and collections.
I have owned a few businesses.
I find parenting more challenging than any of the above. God Bless 'Em.

Here Are 12 ways You Can Get the Most From Social Media
Here Are 12 ways You Can Get the Most From Social Media
(1) If you are new, make sure you create a profile, as you will get loads of visitors checking out your profile. Make sure you check out theirs, too.
(2) Whether or not you are new, every time you get a visitor, contact that person and ask him or her for feedback. Say, "What did you think of my profile"
(3) Always be polite, courteous, and professional in your communications.
(4) When someone joins up through your link, always visit their profile and ask them how they are getting along. Ask them if they need any help and try to give any help or practical advice they may need, or point them in the right direction.
(5) When you visit someone's profile, ask yourself how you can help this person. Maybe you send them a link to a blog, or forum posting, that will help their business. When you like what you see, say so.
(6) Send them an e-mail or, if you are their approved contact, post a comment on their comments page. When you praise someone, don't just say 'I like your profile'. Say what you like about it: Is it the colors? The wording? Their story? Or the service they are offering?
(7) Many people use social media in a pushy manner in order to sell goods or services and make money. Be different. Your mission is to provide value.
(8) When you help someone, you are building a relationship. This person may refer others to you. Or you can ask the person for a reference which you can add to your website. The more people you help, the more referrals you will get.
(9) Posting classified ads will also bring visitors to your profile. Offer free goods or services which others can use to promote their businesses. For example, we offer a free Lead Management System. You can use this to promote any program or opportunity.
(10) Post blogs. Don't just post about your business. Post things that will be of interest, of use and of value to others. The same goes for forum postings. Become a resource. Be the person people come to for information.
(11) Don't just promote your own business. Promote others' as well if you think they are valuable.
(12) Enjoy connecting and have fun!

The Skeptical and the Hopeful
There are two kinds of people in your audience you need to
especially consider when you write copy and collect
testimonials.
1) The Skeptic. The guy who ain't going to believe a thing
unless he actually walks on the water for himself.
2) The Hopeful. The guy who is yearning so badly for a
solution to his ugly, horrible, desperate problem that he's
hungry and thirsty for salvation in any form.
Sometimes these two kinds of people are the same person.
When we roll those two guys into one, we have someone who
looks at your testimonials with a jaundiced eye, checking
for any sign that somebody's making something up.
-Do these ring true?
-Do they sound like real people?
-Do they all sound like the same guy wrote them?
-If I wanted to check these people out would I ever be able
to?
He asks all those questions.
But... once he gets an affirmative answer to those
questions, he can't unglue himself from your sales page.
He's been looking, hunting, searching, fantasizing for so
long... he reads testimonial after testimonial, drinking in
the hope.
He places the order almost feeling as though his problem
will begin solving itself almost as soon as the transaction
is approved.
And then he can't wait to get it, open it, read it, install it,
devour it.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to provide
so much proof, so much tangible evidence of the power of
your solution - and so much anticipation - that this guy
feels a wave of satisfaction flowing through his body as
soon as he gets done placing the order on your website.

What's Really Important
One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore."
No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."
Sometimes, what we care about the most
gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it,
care for it, fix it when it's broken and
heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage ...
and old cars, and children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, family and aging parents and grandparents.
We keep them because they are worth it ......
because we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away
or a sister-in-law after divorce.
There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important. We only have one.
We only have one mom, one dad,
one unique brother or sister or friend.
I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'!
Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.
Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way.
Suppose one morning you never wake up.
Do all your friends know you love them?
I was thinking....I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.
Let every one of your friends and family know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do.
And just in case GOD calls me home . . .
I LOVE YA !
:-)
Live today to the fullest
because tomorrow is not a promise
