"My name is Mandy. I am a student and work part time as a receptionist at a fitness center. I have always been active and have worked out for as long as I can remember but have never been able to keep the extra weight off. I always had what I thought was pretty good eating habits."

I started the Real Life System just over 8 weeks ago now and have been so amazed at the results that I wanted to write and tell everyone about it. I have people asking me all the time now, "are you losing weight, you look great?"

I have already lost over 3" off my hips and waist, and I can't believe how high my energy levels are. The best part is I still eat the pizza and other foods that I love."

"When I started on the Real Life System I was a size 12. Now, 8 weeks into it, I just went out and bought a size 9 dress that fits me perfectly. The only bad part is that I just know in another few weeks that size 9 will be way too big!"

Thanks Real Life

"My name is Shelley. I have worked out and tried different diets for what seems like ever and have never been able to achieve and keep the results I want. Until now that is.

I started the Real Life System 13 weeks ago and it has been the best thing I have ever done! I can't stop talking about it. I've kept in touch with others I met on it, and all of the results are incredible. There so many good things about it but let me start by telling you the results I have achieved so far.

I have lost 4 1/2 inches off both my waist and my hips! My body has defined and my energy levels are amazing! I just feel great.

It's so simple and affordable because you eat normal food, so there are no hidden costs or fees. My life has changed for the better. I have formed a habit that I am sure I will stick with forever.

It really works! I can't believe the difference when I look at my before and after pictures. It's been amazing!"

Thanks Real Life, and thanks Peter.

"I am a 62 year old retired male. In the past I have tried many Diet/Exercise programs but never have I had the results that I achieved on the Real Life Health Management System.

During the 12 weeks of the system I more than attained my goal of becoming more fit and losing weight.

During this period I lost a total of 25.5 pounds, over 4" off my waist and 5.5% body fat.

Since the initial 12 weeks I have maintained my weight and fitness level by following the principles learned on the system."

"I can readily recommend this program to anyone as a system that really does work."

Thanks Real Life

"My name is Barb. I am an ACE (American Council on Exercise) Certified Personal Trainer and have been involved in the fitness industry for over 10 years.

After seeing the success of several of my clients who had tried the Real Life System, I decided to try it myself. I found the nutritional logs and caloric breakdowns very useful in maintaining a balanced eating plan. They provide both a guideline to follow and useful information about macronutrients (carbs, fats, protein) specific to your body's needs.

For those people wanting a customized system with a practical approach in developing healthy eating habits, this system provides just that. Most people struggle with portion size of their meals and are unaware of the hidden fats and excessive calories in many foods. The Real Life System establishes protocol to assess food intake for a period of time, and following the learning curve, the client naturally develops the education to follow a practical and healthy eating plan, which fits their lifestyle. A sure success for a realist weight management system! I thoroughly enjoyed following this system and achieved results that I would have never expected to see after years in the fitness industry.

Thanks, great system Peter.

"My name is Renee and I am a "Real Life System" graduate. Before this program I was eating what I thought we're OK foods. I didn't drink pop or eat chips and rarely ate out at fast food restaurants. I wasn't gaining weight but I couldn't lose it either."

"Since starting the "Real Life System" my eyes have been opened to a whole new way of eating. I was always aware of what I ate but didn't know what the calories meant. Now I understand what an appropriate amount of food is. I still enjoy my regular foods and I am not hungry all the time or feel like I'm depriving myself."

"Joining a gym was also a very important part of my weight loss. I have found exercise to play a key role."

"In the 3 months that changed my life I have lost 18.8 lbs of body fat while increasing my lean mass by 5.8 lbs. This equated to a 7.4% decrease in my body fat percentage. I also lost over 6 inches off my navel measurement and 3 inches off my hips. I still have some more weight that I'd like to lose but I now have the confidence that I will do it."

"I won't ever get tired of hearing "you are getting so thin!"

Thanks Peter and Real Life Health Management.

"On January 25, 2002 I started my Real Life Health management plan. I have to admit that I was skeptical about whether I would achieve the results I really wanted because I had tried many different diets prior to this date and failed to permanently lose weight and increase my fitness level. The encouraging aspect of the Real Life system was how thoroughly it addressed all of the elements of health management that other programs had ignored. The system answered two seemingly simple questions: how much should I eat, and what should my fitness goals be?"

"I had read a great deal about these questions but had been unable to pull together information that adequately addressed my personal needs for weight loss, while providing an on-going plan for maintenance of a new lifestyle that would ensure my success in the future. I believe that the Real Life has accomplished this for me. I had always focused on weight loss. The Real Life program taught me to focus on heightened fitness, and well-rounded eating habits that resulted in weight loss. This is the perspective that had eluded me prior to my beginning the Real Life system. "

"To date I have lost 26 pounds, gone from 21% body fat to 11% and lost nearly 7" around my waste. More importantly I have learned to enjoy exercise, challenging myself physically, and eating well. It is difficult to describe the support I have received from the trainers and staff at the World Gym, and Real Life. Encouraging would be an understatement. Concerned and empathetic would not adequately express the personal attention and direction I have received, and continue to receive in my pursuit of a healthy, sustainable lifestyle."

"I believe that my involvement with Real Life has been a major turning point in the way I view health, and has provided me with a new optimism regarding my potential to succeed in my pursuit of a new way of life and health. I would like to thank all of the individuals involved, for their assistance and encouragement."

Sincerely,
- Will S.

"I have dieted and exercised for 20 years following generally good nutrition habits. Over those years, I lost weight and regained weight and lost it again because I never really understood how my body was using the food energy. Using the principles and structure of the Real Life Health Management System, I finally lost the fat without losing muscle, and I know that I will be able to maintain my new healthier weight and lifestyle because I understand how my body uses food energy. I have successfully changed and increased my metabolism and I feel great."

"I started the program April 27, 2001 at 141 lbs. The final assessment was August 23, 2001 (17 weeks) and I weighed 126.5 lbs. During that period I went from a size 12 to a size 8, lost 4" off my hips, 3" off my waist, increased my lean mass by 2 lbs and reduced my body fat by 9.6%!"

"By continuing to follow the principles and exercise, I now weigh 116 lbs which is 31 weeks total since starting the program. I am now a size 4 or 6 depending upon the cut of the clothes."

Thanks Real Life.

"I am a 50 year old female who has been employed in the fitness industry for the past 7 years. I have worked out on a regular basis for many years but until I used the Real Life Health Management System, my results were sporadic and minimal. This system gave me the tools and the structure necessary to progress with great results."

"At the end of 12 weeks I have lost 14 ½ lbs, decreased my body fat percentage by 6.8%, lost 3" off my waist and 4" off my hips. I now feel I can progress even further with a lifestyle that works for me and is easy to follow."

Thank you Real Life.

"I would like to thank you for introducing me to your Real Life Health Management System. Prior to starting your program, I have always been involved in sports or exercise in some format with regularly daily workouts and cardio sessions. I have always been in good shape and many would argue that this type of program would not necessary. In my opinion I have never been completely satisfied with the results of my exercise regime as I have never been able to achieve that low fat (ripped) look. I had convinced myself that it was just simply not possible with my body type."

"This program proved me completely wrong and provided me with the results that I desired. It also addressed my 20-year habit of eating in the middle of the night and taught me the importance of what and when to eat. I have gained an extensive knowledge of the nutritional breakdown of foods that now allows me to eat with confidence in any restaurant.

"I lost 5 inches off my waist, 15 pounds in weight, increased my percentage of lean muscle mass and took my percentage of body fat from 14% to 10%. I achieved these fantastic results even though I spent two weeks in Mexico at an all-inclusive resort. Today, I feel and look fantastic my goal is to achieve 8% body fat. I would highly recommend this program as it will provide the results, but more importantly it will educate you on eating right."

Sincerely,
- Troy G.
