Dear John,

I wanted to tell you a little about myself. This past May I was weighing in at 310 pounds, I was in a size 46 jeans pushing for a bigger size, and a size 3XL shirt and even that was getting tight. I'm a correctional officer for the state of Texas and it was getting to the point where I was unable to preform my job effectively. I made the decision to try and start losing weight. I tried all different work out programs but none of them seem to fit my needs or abilities. My wife then brought home one of your tapes and I then had the workout I needed to fix where I had gone wrong. I enjoy yours so much because you make the exercise fun using different scenarios such as walking on a beach, old houses, climbing fences, fighting ninjas, etc. I also belive it's a great workout due to the fact that its easy enough that even a beginner can do yet can be bumped up notches as your fitness level improves. Here I am 6 months later and I now weigh in at 195 pounds, size 34 jeans (getting ready to fit in 32), and wearing  between a large to XL shirt. I feel so much better about myself, not to mention that I look a whole lot better. Plus its nice to know that when one of our inmates take off running (because sometimes they think they are track stars) I'm able to chase after them and I'm more limber when it comes time for restraints. Thanks to you I'm a much leaner, healthier and better man!

Dear John:

I had carried massive amounts of excess bodyweight for over 20 years.  After reaching over 345 pounds, and being diagnosed as clinically obese with Type II Diabetes, along with plenty of other health issues that made me very unhealthy and unhappy, I decided I needed to do something to change my life or my doctor said that it would end prematurely.

After researching the claims and promises promoted by different weight-loss marketing companies, I decided to follow your routines.  I felt that since you were on TV you must be good at what you do.  Although I had the typical "yeah-right" attitude my life was literally in jeopardy and I needed to do something, quickly.

Needless to say, I ordered your system.  However, when I started to follow it I was shocked to discover I was actually able to do it, and doing it. Within the first week I could definitely see and feel the changes in my body.  The weight somehow was falling off and let me remind you that I wasn't exercising hard at all.

All-in-all, it took me a little over one year to drop over 150 pounds off my body.  During that time I became so involved with this fitness stuff.  Today, a little over 5 years later, I can claim that I dropped from 345 pounds to 193 pounds [152 pounds of fat when bye bye] and I HAVE KEPT THE WEIGHT OFF EVER SINCE.  From an obese, depressed, near-death guy to what I am today.  I'm a new man and the happiest guy alive.  To let you know how incredible my life has changed I am now a certified personal fitness trainer myself, I also have earned a degree in nutrition, and I also own my own health club in my area--who'd ever think I'd become a personal trainer, a nutritionist, and a gym owner?  Like you, I've become the guy who's telling people how to improve themselves!

All I can say to you John is THANK YOU!  You saved my life.  I can never repay you for what you've done for me but hopefully by sharing my story will help inspire other people to make the changes they deserve in their lives and become Doers themselves!

I'm A Doer!

I worked out with John for 3 weeks. His classes were intense but the time just flew by. John's knowledge is incredible, and he's a terrific motivator. One thing's for sure, I got in my best shape ever following John's routines. I particularly love his No Excuses Workout as it's the perfect program when I'm in a hurry, which is a lot these days. If you ever get a chance get one of John's programs. You'll be glad you did!

I met John through one of his User Group trials for one of his fitness classes that revolved around his Bun & Thigh Doer invention. WOW, is all I can say. I'm extremely pleased with the results, and all my family and friends as bragging about me all the time. I lost 5 inches of my waistline in 3 weeks. Yes, I said that correctly, 3 weeks. John has this 21-day Swift-Lift Plan that's designed to help people like me get into great shape very quickly. This guy's a genius at helping people.

I had let me body get way out of shape. It was weak, flabby, and need I say, not very good to look at anymore. But all that changed the day I met John Abdo and started to follow his fitness systems and lifestyle principles. John makes it seems so easy, even though it's always challenging and I keep on improving. I thought exercise was hard, long and boring. With John Abdo it's easy, short and fun!

Dear John:

I have you to thank for inspiring me to take charge of my life.  Becoming a DOER helped me get my life back in balance!

To own and operate a business requires huge amounts of physical and emotional energy!  But so many professionals sacrifice their health as they're striving for their wealth.  At 40, I was over 50 pounds overweight, not good personally or professionally!

I am a health care professional who runs a business and speaks to "live" audiences on a weekly basis.  Having a healthy image is essential for leadership and to build a solid successful business.  It wasn't helping my image or my business being so terribly out of shape.  I knew I needed to make a change and knew I needed to start respecting my health.

Listening to you has inspired me to become a DOer myself!  Now, after losing 50 pounds in just a few short months, I look better than I ever did and am healthier and more energetic than ever with loads of confidence!  Life is so much easier now both personally and professionally.  I am easily capable of presenting myself both in public and with my patients with incredible energy and frequency!  I have properly aligned my health goals to be back in balance with my financial, family and spiritual goals—what a difference!

Leaders need balance in their life!  When you are over weight and out of shape you cannot have balance.  There are no more excuses to being mentally and physically out of shape.  Your guidance and motivation has literally saved my life and changed it in such remarkable ways.  I now look forward to tomorrow!

A New DOER!

Dear John:

I am 29 years old, 5'6" tall, and I topped out at 214 pounds.  My chest exceeded 46 inches, my waist was 45 inches and my lower stomach and hips measured a total of 47 inches around!  I started my Doer routine on November 2nd and ever since I have had more energy and felt as great as I did when I was a teenager! My whole attitude is better and I thank you for that.

I want you to know that you’ve been a real lifesaver for me.  I mean that in the literal sense.  I have obstructive sleep apnea and was actually suffocating myself while I sleep just over a month ago.  I blacked out while driving on another occasion and that is how I ended up at my doctor’s office.  To make a long story short, you have helped keep myself alive and I have four other people who also want to thank you.  That is my husband, my 10-year-old daughter, my 8-year-old son and my 6-year-old son.  Thank you John from all of us.

Staying committed to being a DOER I have now lost over 45lbs of body fat and, brace yourself for this one, I have lost 8 1/2 inches off my waistline! I feel awesome! I went out to purchase my first new outfit today for my husband's Christmas Party because I want to look my best for him.  The ladies at the clothing store asked me what size pants I thought I would need.  I said that I was a 16/18 when I started my Doer program so I have no idea what I’d fit into now.  They started out by handing me size 14’s.  When those were too big they handed me a 12, still too bog.  Then, amazingly, they handed me a 10! I haven’t worn a ten since I don’t know when.  And it wasn’t a tight ten, no squeezing, no sucking in my belly, nothing.  The pants slipped on smoothly and zipped right up!

I have been so excited!  I feel GREAT!  Not only do I feel wonderful for myself but the enjoyment I am now able to provide to my family is so satisfying because I am more "fun" to be with and I’m not sleeping or tired all the time!

Thanks John, You are awesome!
