Book Giveaway: From Fat to Fit

I was very lucky to get a copy of From Fat to Fit: Turn Yourself into a Weapon of Mass Reduction to giveaway to a lucky fatfighter. .

Here's the book description from amazon.com:

This guide chronicles how one woman’s very public journey to lose weight mushroomed into a community quest to get fit. At the age of 60, Carole Carson broke the taboo of speaking about obesity when she openly admitted her shame and guilt about being fat and out of shape on the front page of the local newspaper. As she recounted her transformation from butterball to butterfly in a weekly newspaper column, she gradually inspired more than 1,000 people in her Northern California community to join her. People who had struggled with weight loss and fitness suddenly found that when they joined with their friends and neighbors they could accomplish together what they could not do by themselves. They learned a completely new way of living and discovered that getting fit was fun and in the process lost the equivalent of a school bus! Through the guide’s seven-step process, among other practical strategies and resources, readers will find a framework for duplicating the Nevada County Meltdown’s successes in their respective communities—their congregation, their office, their friends and family—realizing the power of partnership and revitalizing their ties with each other.

iFit

Two weeks ago I recieved the following email I offered to post here for an interested party.

My name is Jason. I help people control body weight by having them send me their menu every night. I take a very different approach as I focus on raising the body metabolism. Building on what that person already knows instead of telling them what to do. As a coach, I provide support every day, and suggestions on ways to improve. I promote exercise, and we plan out some exercise times for a 30 day period, and participants are held accountable.

This is a system I designed. I currently own the largest health club in Saskachewan Canada, and helping people understand HOW their body works is my passion. My life goal is to help people understand WHY.

I would be willing to offer one 30 day session complimentary for someone who would like to give it a try. My slogan is "ask why" as I want people to understand this stuff, so they may use it for the rest of their life. My success rate using this approach is in the high 90%. It has been only since December of 06 that I have taken this system to the internet.

If you think this is something that may benefit you, please feel free to contact him directly via his blog. He's only extended the offer to one person and you must be serious.

As a general disclaimer, please do your own research, check with your personal doctor or healthcare provider before starting a fitness program and thoroughly research any method before you give it a try. If you do end up working with Jason, I'd love to have a first hand review of your 30 day experience, so perhaps you can set up as a guest blogger on this site, or send me a mini review when you are done.

Winners Contacted

The two eligible winners for the book giveaway were contacted.

These 3 books up for grabs…

Post a comment on which book you'd like and a 2nd and 3rd choice. I'm going to draw 3 names out of the trusty old hat. This way, if you are the 2nd name and your first choice is gone, you'll still get something.

To be fair, please don't enter if you've already won something from this site, and in case you forgot if you did, check here, here and here to see if your name shows up. You have from now till next Tuesday, 8/22, to get your entries in. Winners will be announced 8/23. Enter only once please. Shipping is a bitch, so USA folks only for this one.

Here's a bonus: if you originally signed up for the challenge and if you left a comment during August, basically any of the posts where I asked for stats, even to dispute something, you'll get an extra entry. And before you even think it, it's too late to go back and answer questions. Cheater! This'll learn you to participate when I ask questions

Go…

2nd place gets a $15 gift certificate to sprywear.com
3rd place gets a $10 gift certificate to sprywear.com

April Sweepstakes

One thing about me, I LOVE to find motivation where I can and am so tickled to have possibly the cutest t-shirt company ever, Sprywear.com, not only be the first sponsor of fatfighterblogs.com, but also give the site the ultimate hookup, a free t-shirt!

Sprywear: Women's T-Shirts for Active, Fitness Minded Women

What better month than spring to run around town in a spanking new Tee that says it all. Phrases like:

"Spry women know it is impossible to win unless you enter the race"

or how about:

"Spry women know that every great journey begins with a single step"

and even the sassy:

"Spry women who live the life of their dreams don't get there by being dainty & darling"

Go on over to sprywear.com, take a look around and come back here tomorrow when the contest starts.

Be a Spry woman (or man) this spring...enter the contest...keep fighting fat!

And the winner is

Without further adieu, the first winner of the first contest of the first month of the year is...

Congrats!!! Kim!!!!

But wait, there's more...

I know it's not a car but WoW that was way more exciting than I planned, . Thanks so much for playing, I truly wish I had 27 books to give all of you, but like I said, this is the first of many giveaways I'll be running this year. Be sure to check back in February for the next giveaway.

Prizes will be shipped out bright and early Saturday morning. The winners will be contacted by email sometime today and need to reply back to me by 5pm EST Friday January 20th with their mailing info. If someone doesn't get back to me in time, the prize will be considered forfeited and rolls over to next month.

And lastly, there is still chance for 1 more person to win. I said I had 6 copies, but only gave away 5 today. I want to read the last book and write a review. When I am done, that book will be given to one of the remaining entrants.

Win This Book

Written by Dr. Pamela Peeke an internationally recognized expert, author and speaker in the fields of nutrition, metabolism, stress and fitness, the book features diet and exercise tips that can be used for year-round health and fitness.

ONE lucky fatfighterblogs.com reader will win a copy of this new book.

To enter this month’s prize drawing, just leave a comment for THIS post with the words “No More Fat in 06!” in it and whatever else you would like to say. Please fill out the email field, because winners will be notified by email for their mailing addresses.

Sweepstakes news

Alrighty, we are ready to rock and roll, I *should* have copies of the books in my grubby hands by Friday, so I'll kick off this off by giving away 1 copy this week. That way if the books don't show, I'll do the right thing and go buy a copy and mail it to the winner, it'll be pretty painful to have to buy 6 copies

This is how I'll run it, and being my first online giveaway it'll be trial and error, be nice. The contest will launch at or around midnight EST Tuesday, January 10th. At that time, I'll post an entry with all the details on how to enter. The contest will run until around 5AM EST Sunday January 15th. The winner will be announced by noon the next day.

Side note: The picking of the name will be random, ie I toss all the entries into a plastic bag, shake it up good and pull out a "winner", if the winner doesn't get back to me in time, or declines, I'll pick someone else. Right now the site gets about 70 visitors a day, aprox 400 people between Tuesday and Sunday. Which makes your chance to win 1 in however-many-enter-up-to-400 or so. As the site grows, and if more people enter, the odds of winning will adjust accordingly.

This will be the first of many many giveaways for 2006, I'll plan on doing at least one a month, but if I, like the books, get multiple items, I'll have more giveaways. If you don't win this go round, keep in mind as the year goes on, I'll be giving away CDs (music for working out), DVDs (workout programs), more books (health, exercise, nutrition & diet related) and other goodies that are fairly cheap to ship.

To keep it fair, the winner of any prize won't be able to enter another contest for a period of time I haven't decided on yet. Radio stations usually do 90 days, I may do 60.

Most of all, while I want it to be fun, for all of us, I'm not obligated to keep it going and reserve the right to cease giveaways before the year is up. I don’t foresee that happening, but it’s a good disclaimer to have

January Sweepstakes

I posted this on my blog, so gotta let the cat out the bag here too.

This month, fatfighterblogs.com in conjuction with reneegetsfit.com will be running a sweepstakes where both sites will be giving away FREE books to help you lose weight.

The book, by Dr. Pamela Peeke the lady from the Discovery Health's National Body Challenge, is called, "National Body Challenge Success Program for the Whole Family".

I'll be giving away a total 6 (six) copies, 3 on this site, and 3 on the other. I'll give away the first 5 ASAP, but since I'd like to do a review of the book, the last one will be given out towards the end of the month.

So if you're feeling lucky, just wanna lose the weight already or simply like free shizz, stay tuned and be sure to enter.
