Just got this in from Craig Ballantyne and it is great for anyone starting to get discouraged over lack of results three weeks in to the new year. Don;t forget I republish with permission only the best of the web.

Hi Lewis,

Here we are, 3 weeks into January, and there are lots of men and women thinking about quitting their fat loss programs. In fact, some of them may have abandoned them already…often only days before the results were about to appear in the mirror and on the scale.

I realize we are long past the first week of the year when everyone is "gung-ho" about diet and exercise, and I’m very worried some of you might be back to your old bad habits or are frustrated and ready to pack it in.

Why?

Because maybe you just haven’t had the results you expected, right?

You’ve strayed from the diet plan a little more often than you should have, you missed a couple of workouts because you got sick, or the kids were sick. Or you worked late. Or it was too cold to go to the gym. Or maybe it is closed today for the Martin Luther King holiday. Yes, those are all excuses we make from time to time.

But don’t give up. Don’t quit!

And there’s no better day to pass along that message than today, as many states in the USA are honoring Martin Luther King. There was a man who did not quit.

So I hope he can serve as an inspiration to you not only in how to treat others, but also how to persevere in hard times in order to reach all of your goals, including your burning desire to lose fat and finally change your body.

Don’t let this be like other years, where your good intentions were gone before you had a chance to reap the benefits of eating right and doing the short TT workouts.

Don’t give in because you lost 3 pounds in week 1 and nothing since.

Don’t quit just because everyone else in the gym is dropping out. 

Don’t stop even if you ate too much last week, because you can still get back on track today!

Whatever you do, don’t quit! 

You owe it to yourself, your spouse, your kids, your co-workers, and everyone else who is depending on you to be the healthy role model in their lives.

And if you still need to get started, use the Turbulence Training for Fat Loss program:

You can still enter the TT Transformation Contest if you get your photos up in the member’s area today.

Forget about quitting and focus on re-starting. You have the rest of your life to be lean and fit, don’t give up now.

Stay strong,

"I have been in love with Turbulence Training ever since I started.

I am 6′3", 28/M and my starting weight/body fat% was 208 pounds and 18.4% body fat. After 22 weeks of TT, I am now down to 190 lbs and 10.8% body fat."

Nick Walters, New York, NY
 

"I’ve done just about everything from Turbo Jam, P90X, to trying to piece together my own workout, but didn’t get the results I’ve seen with Turbulence Training."

Andrea Dunham 

"Been using TT 4 years, love the newsletters. I use the 2K3 all the time, started off with the original ages ago. I lost 35 pounds in around 2 years & i’m 38 years old!"
