I've lost 25 lbs., my confidence has increased, and I now know I have the tools at my disposal to lose at least another 20 lbs.

Results ARE typical and to be expected with MyBodyTutor. See why at the end of this page.
I had trained for races successfully before, but then fallen into bad habits as soon as the training and race were over. I had seen a personal trainer periodically, but was not seeing any significant results.
I had done the occasional fitness video, joined a gym so I had access to treadmills, gone for 3 mile walks before work, and more. But what I never had was a consistent routine or motivation to stick with anything.
I'd start things and then eventually stop them. I'd eat healthy for a week, see results, and then something would knock me off course and before I knew it, I'd gained that weight back and then some.
In October of 2022, and I had just received some of my worst lab results ever, especially in terms of cholesterol and triglycerides. My fiancee and I had gone to an all-inclusive resort with some friends for a week, and half the time I just felt unwell.
I was dehydrated, occasionally dizzy, and just didn't feel good about myself. I had felt the same way when on a trip with my daughter to Universal Studios earlier in the year. There, I was nervous to even go on some of the rides, because I felt like my blood pressure or current health could lead to something scary like a heart attack or stroke.
I didn't want to live with this constant fear every day and let it prevent me from enjoying the things I wanted to do. I told myself that as soon as we got back from the resort, I was going to take action. And I contacted MyBodyTutor as soon as we returned.
After assessing what I really needed was accountability and hearing from a friend that "other" programs seemed nothing more than AI or a bot providing responses, I sought out a program online where I could receive actual accountability from a real human. After signing up, my hopes were realized for daily accountability from someone who was vested in my success.
For me, it was hard at first to justify spending money on actions I knew I would be taking myself. I also wasn't sure I could trust myself to report on my diet and fitness honestly.
But once I got started and was immediately seeing results and felt like I was in a judgment-free atmosphere, it was clear that the program was working for me in ways past efforts had not.
I wanted to establish better, healthier routines that I could stick with and make continued progress without feeling like I was handcuffed or unable to enjoy things I enjoyed eating, drinking, or doing. I also wanted to gain a better understanding of the effects of food and exercise on my body and to identify the "levers" I could tweak to see the results I wanted – specifically, I wanted to lose body fat, feel better in my clothes, get faster in my races, and receive clean bloodwork labs.
It's been 7 months since I started working with MyBodyTutor and my coach. I cut 2" off my favorite belt and jeans size, realized I could now wear L instead of XL for some shirts, have decreased my running pace by about 1.5 mins/mile, recently got bloodwork results that reflected decreased total cholesterol and normal triglycerides, and I now have the capacity to get right back into my routine if I occasionally indulge in some food and beverages that aren't in line with my goals.
I've lost 25 lbs., my confidence has increased, and I now know I have the tools at my disposal to lose at least another 20 lbs. if I just focus.
How's MyBodyTutor different? For one, you're dealing with real people who take the time to understand your individual needs, boundaries, motivations, etc. These are people who can make recommendations to you, explain why something is working or not working, and answer questions for you on a daily basis – whenever you have them.
One thing I enjoyed the most working with my coach was sending her the menu for a restaurant we were going to be dining at and asking for recommendations on the best dishes to order. I also received great suggestions on how to improve my protein intake, ways to vary my exercise routine to keep it more interesting, tips on recovering from intense runs or strength workouts, and other "tools" I could add to my toolbox to test out or shake things up when I felt like I was getting stale.
If what you're lacking is accountability and someone who will keep you on track on a recurring basis, even when your tendency is to fall into bad habits, this is the program you need.
After 7 months, I decided that I had learned so much that I wanted to take the opportunity to go implement my new tools on my own and see what I was capable of. I plan to continue logging my meals in MyFitnessPal daily and seeking out ways to keep my fitness routine fresh and interesting. And I know if I start to fall too far off track I can return to the MyBodyTutor family and they'll be ready, willing and able to help me achieve my goals.
What did you say to yourself as you were reading Steve's story?
It's fascinating when we start to notice our own behavior. Typically, we distance ourselves from that person. We find something they have that we don't. We make them into something other than an ordinary, regular person. Then, we create an excuse for why we can't achieve the same level of success.
The most important thing to realize: Whatever anyone else has done or become, you can do or become as well, with the right support, guidance and accountability.
Here's the best part: I guarantee it or your money back. I sincerely believe in what we offer that much. I know MyBodyTutor will be the last program you ever do or need.
