Hi PGXers! 

I wanted to share my self-improvement journey with you and how the lessons that I am learning might apply to you and your journey. 

My friend Ann and I are “training buddies” and she brings her military background to life and the gym. She has told me that she won’t give up on me as long as I don’t give up on myself. Last week I admit, I didn’t give it my all. 

Dr. Oz said once said of me that, “I walk the walk” well, it’s time for me to start walking the talk! I AM determined and I am going to fight like a warrior to realize the goal I have set for myself. Ann wouldn’t give up on me and I’m going to give it 110% effort!

"The point is that life and weight loss isn’t always easy. But it always is what you make of it!"

I also know that you can get side tracked from your weight loss goals by your vices! 71% of people struggle with them, the other 29% are at a healthful weight. I know that if you bust your vices you will be far more successful at reaching your weight loss goals than if you continue to struggle with them. I know that taking PGX makes sticking to your healthy resolutions so much easier because you aren’t having to battle hunger all day.

I know that I will not give up on you as long as you do not give up on yourself! I know that I can get over the wall and realize my quest for fitness and I KNOW that you can realize your goals, too!

Are you with me?

Let’s do it!

PGX & Julia Havey's Call to Arms: Fight to End Obesity!

How can we make obesity a thing of the past? The answer does not lie in a weight loss drug. 

The other day I found an article over at The State Column, FDA warns against second attempts at weight loss drug approvals, and I started to think.

Obesity is a huge problem in the US. It's an issue we must address, not only to help save individual lives but also to help our economy. However, I don't know a single person who is obese or overweight because they are lacking Qnexa or any drug that companies are feverishly trying to develop and market.

According to that article, "about 35 percent of Americas are obese, creating a tremendous need for weight-loss therapies." But the solution to obesity does not lie in a chemical with side effects that can cause eye problems, fetal toxicity… When you see the list of potential side effects, would you really risk all that for a possible short cut to weight loss? Especially when the real solution is safe and possible for everyone!

So what if one were to drink water rather than soft drinks? What if one were to consume healthy portions of real foods such as oatmeal, lean protein, fruit, vegetables, and get 30 minutes of exercise a day. Add 2.5-5 grams of PGX into the mix to ensure a good daily intake of fiber, satiety and blood sugar stability and you've got quite the recipe for health! What if that scenario became the norm? Would we need Qnexa, or would we do just fine on our own? We would do just fine on our own!

A lifestyle change can be daunting but, I think, much less terrifying than the possibility of serious side effects from weight loss drugs. I don’t know about you, but I would rather avoid any possible side effects commonly associated with the diet drugs of today and those in the works for tomorrow. The choice is yours but I urge you to choose wisely because, literally, your life depends upon it!

Instead of waiting for the FDA nod to ingest something as potentially dangerous as Qnexa, try the less risky route. Make a healthy lifestyle change! Don't know how to start? PGX and I are here to help you,100 percent free -- free of charge and free of dangerous side effects. Sign up for free e-books, recipes, access to nutritional support at a simple click of the mouse.

Not eating fast food won't kill you. You are going to have to do a little bit of work on your own and make that first step to change. But no worries, I am right here to help you along the way!

PGX and Julia Havey Investigate: Soft Drinks

Regular soda versus diet soda. What do these drinks do to our bodies? 

Every time I give a lecture about health and diets, I talk about how consuming soft drinks (or any sugary beverages) regularly can put up to 15 lbs on the human body in one year. Without fail at least one hand in the crowd goes up and someone asks “But what about drinking diet soda? Is that okay?”

In my humble opinion is that it’s not okay to have diet sodas. When people ask me about diet soda, I will always give them them the same advice to help them be healthier than ever. Your body is made of 75% water, not 75% pop, regular or diet! It's a slim chance that soft drinks will ever be part of the solution to optimal health.

Will diet sodas hinder weight loss? I think so. Will they make you gain more weight? Quite possibly! Science aside, I have plenty of anecdotes from readers who have shared how cutting out diet soft drinks have been a big part of their overall weight loss success.

Moving past the anecdotes, let's take a look at what the experts think about diet soda in the gulfnews.com article, "Diet soda likely to cause weight gain, experts warn."

Master Motivator, Julia Havey, and PGX want to help you pursue a healthier lifestyle.

Last night, while watching TV, I took notice of a commercial that came on several times. The commercial was advertising a product that salvages saggy couch cushions. It sounded like a pretty good invention: plastic boards that you place underneath the cushions which reinforce the cushions’ foam so that you won't sink into the couch. I went along with the concept until they demonstrated how they tested out their product. At this point, they brought out a 400 lb. and a 600 lb. sumo wrestler and claimed that the newly reinforced couch “was able to hold 1000 pounds of sumo!” Unfortunately, rather than telling a 400 lb. and 600 lb. person to pursue a healthier lifestyle, we are creating products that will simply bear the burden.
 
There is an economic relationship between obesity and expenses, such as the costs of diabetic tools like blood sugar monitoring, needles, and insulin. So, instead of putting your money towards fixing your couch, I would rather you spend that money on a new gym membership or a home exercise video.
 
Or you could let me and PGX help you lose weight for FREE! You don't have to pay shipping or handling and through my free program, endorsed by Dr. Oz and Dr. David Katz, I can help you lose up to 50 lb. in the next 26 weeks and it won't cost you a dime!
