    About this ebook

    How I and 1539 other people like you lost a lot of weight (and how you can do it too)

    Thousands of normal, busy people lose weight every day, without fancy diets or commercial weight loss programs. It's a scientifically proven fact. They succeed because it's easy to do as soon as you focus on just a few successful tactics, instead of constantly chasing the next fad diet or latest fitness craze.
    I'm one of those folks.

    This book IS for you if you are eventually willing to lose weight, but use excuses like:

    - I'm too busy
    - I don't have the money
    - I don't like physical exercise
    - I just love to eat

    This book is also for you if you have tried before to lose weight and failed.

    This book is NOT for you if:

    - you require the advice of authorities - I will quote a single study, but that's as far as I will go into the words of 'authorities.'
    - you love to spend: money on fitness and diet programs, hours preparing fancy diet meals, hours doing physical exercise

    Find the bottom line of weight loss

    You don't need to become a fitness encyclopedia to lose weight. On the contrary - the more you search on the Internet, the more confused you can get.

    What you really need to lose weight is:

    - an incentive to start
    - a mindset to persevere
    - creativity to tune your tactics
    - sustained, daily effort

    This book provides you just that...
    and more!
    "The Fitness Expert Next Door" includes:

    - an outline of the 10 minute philosophy (and how you can make it your own)
    - a compelling incentive
    - just a few tactics that REALLY work
    - practical weight loss tips from my personal experience
    - recommended online fitness communities
    - An inspiring, real weight loss story (pictures included)

    And it gives you all of this in less than 12,000 words so you can become The Fitness Expert Next Door today!

    Proven techniques from a practitioner. True stories.Does the concept of 'visualization' sound ridiculous to you?Do you consider mental exercises, the "law of attraction", "manifesting" and self development to be a waste of time or hokey-pokey?Has it been years since you thought seriously about your life?Welcome to the club! That describes me just a year ago. I was overweight, stressed, constantly worried about my finances and quietly desperate about my relationship with God. I was aimless. I had no plans for where my life would be in 2, 5 or 10 years.I'm a reader. I've read several thousands books in my life; there wasn't much else to do in Poland before the fall of communism. We had a black and white TV with only 2 channels; I didn't see my first computer until age 11. So, reading became my biggest habit.In August 2012 I read a book called "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson. It took me a whole month to start implementing ideas from this book. That led to me reading numerous other personal development books, some effective, some less so. I looked at myself and decided this was one person who could surely use some development. In November of 2012, I created my personal mission statement; I consider it the real starting point of my progress. Over several months I applied several self-help concepts and started building inspiring results: I some weight, greatly increased my savings, built new skills, got rid of bad habits and developed better ones.I'm very pragmatic, a "down to earth" person. I favor utilitarian, bottom-line results over pure artistry.Despite the ridiculous language, I found there is value in the "hokey-pokey visualization" stuff. I now see it as my mission to share what I have learned.My books are not abstract. I avoid going mystical as much as possible. I don't believe that pure theory is what we need in order to change our lives; the Internet age has proven this quite clearly. What you will find in my books are:- detailed techniques and methods describing how you can improve your skills and drive results in specific areas of your life- real life examples- personal storiesSo, whether you are completely new to personal development or have been crazy about the Law of Attraction for years, if you are looking for concrete strategies, you will find them in my books. My writing shows that I am a relatable, ordinary guy, not some ivory tower guru.I've been married over 12 years. I'm a father of two boys and one girl. I work full time in the IT industry, and recently, I've become an author. My passions are transparency, integrity and progress.

      1. Introduction

      I plan to make a series of booklets sharing my experiences of my life transformation. The one about weight loss is first. I am not a fitness guru, not even a personal trainer. I'm not a diet specialist. On the other hand, while not being any of above I did manage to lose 15% of my body weight (I'm a short and skinny guy, in absolute numbers it is just 25 lbs). I can do 54 consecutive dips, 40 consecutive chin ups and more than 100 consecutive pushups. And I didn't need any fitness guru, personal trainer, gym membership or diet consultant to do this. I didn't spend a lot of time or a lot of money. Weight loss is just a byproduct of my life's transition. And my fitness form is just a byproduct of my weight loss.

      I'm a busy person - a full time employee (I spend about 18 hours a week commuting), father of three and a husband, a church community member, a blogger. But I discovered I don't need a lot of time (in daily terms) or money to lose weight. By sharing my story and advice I want to convince you, that you don't either.

      I intended this book to show purely my personal story, but then I ran across an old friend of mine that I hadn't seen in 10 years. He is also a busy father, husband and employee. And he also lost about 12% of bodyweight on his own. It made me think that my story is not so unique. Well, it is of course, because every human being is unique, nonetheless there are lots and lots of ordinary people's stories who get fitter, who changed their lives for better.

      I was already writing this book when I stumbled upon research published in 2012 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine showing exactly that. They surveyed over 4000 obese people (BMI >29.9) among whom over 2500 reported an attempt to lose weight. Over 1500 got significant results. Research showed also that simple strategies were a greater success factor than participating in a commercial weight loss program.

      Over 60% of fatties who attempted to lose weight got significant results!

      Weight loss is not rocket science. It's not something reserved for the privileged, movie stars and TV presenters. Ordinary folks burdened with duties, jobs and families can do it, too. Thousands of people like you and me do it every year, every month, every day. Your neighbor did it. You can do it, too.

      Les Brown said: You will fail your way to success.

      And he is so right! I failed my way to weight loss. I had vague thoughts about losing some weight as long as 5.5 years ago (2008). I started seriously losing some pounds a year ago (halfway through 2012). 54 months of failure! I did everything backwards. I started from the totally wrong point and gradually drifted in the right direction. And I found tactics which bring results.

      I'm not going to impose my super effective fitness program on you and charge $39 for it.

      You don't need my knowledge to lose weight. Not that it is insufficient, it allowed me to get my results. The knowledge is
