Losing weight can be a lifelong struggle, and no body knows about that more than Mark King. At his heaviest he was 886 pounds, and how he knew his exact weight was because the hospital literally had to take him to the zoo and use the scales that they have there for the animals. That was a few years ago, but since then Mark has lost an astonishing 363 pounds and is still moving and grooving towards losing even more weight and reclaiming his health and fitness. In this podcast interview Mark share's his incredible weight loss journey, from the struggles he faced early in childhood that caused him to go down the road of extreme obesity. To hitting his rock bottom. And now coming out the other side as a better person, and sharing his story to help inspire others who are struggling with their weight. This podcast goes beyond the normal diet and exercise advice that you've heard before. When you're mega fat like mark, you can't just rely on counting calories, tracking macros, and getting 10,000 steps per day. That Approach Does NOT Work for Really BIG People.

So if you're at rock bottom and feel like there's no hope to turn things around, then this podcast is for you.

Most people "Know What They Should Do", but for some reason they just can't follow through and actually do it.

Losing fat, building muscle, and achieving your health & fitness goals should be a simple and straight forward process. But unfortunately most people end up self sabotaging their own success. While they may start off with the best of intentions and see some initial progress, it's usually short lived before they fall off the rails and resort back to their old habits. Even though you may "Know What To Do" in terms of what foods you should eat, what workouts to do, etc. Many people can't follow through consistently and do what they know they should do. It's almost as if there's a Mental Block holding them back and this is what we refer to as " The Fear Of Success". In this podcast we'll discuss strategies that you can use to help you overcome the fear that may be holding you back mentally. You'll see some real examples from our personal coaching students who have overcome the odds and achieved above average results with building muscle and losing fat regardless of age and genetics.

If your diet and exercise program has a START and an END date - the results are only going to be temporary. You need to look at the process of losing fat and building muscle as a lifestyle change. There is no finish line, no end date, it's simply an on going process of small daily improvement for the rest of your life! This is why suffering it out on a short term fat loss diet plan never works over the long term. If you don't create the sustainable habits and lifestyle changes that are required to maintain a lean muscular body - you'll always regain the weight back again as soon as you stop that nose to the grindstone approach. The good news is if you do the right things - the process of building a lean muscular body doesn't have to be stressful, or painful, and it can actually be more enjoyable than the way you're living right now. If you don't want to be fat anymore, and are ready to make a permanent change, then make sure to listen to this podcast to the very end.
