I Hope This Motivates Him

Recently I was scouring the Beachbody website for information when a post from the forums popped up on the front of the homepage.  I read the gentleman's post and felt compelled to try and help.  I really hope it does.  Here is what he wrote and my response... I hope maybe someone will read this one day and although it is a short response, I feel like it has a good message.


Here is his message:
I started the p90x doubles program on April 14. I have been very diligent, eating only healthy foods and protein drinks(doing 2400 calories and 200g protein) and I found myself a trainer to help me with the program. Today is day 45, the halfway point and the results are disappointing. My body fat is only slightly lower. My shoulder size has barely gone up from 48 to 48.5 in 45 days. And visually it seems like a marginal improvement.
I am ready, determined and willing to make whatever changes that I would need to. But am not sure what I am doing wrong at the moment

Here is my response:
Yo! I sent you a buddy invite and I hope you accept

Man, I know how the frustration can get to you. I am the same way. I am an athletic person and I want to see results NOW, lol! Here's the deal, you can get frustrated, quit and go back to being out of shape and not fit. Or you can keep going, trying, pushing play and i know you can reach your goals!

Here's what I did to keep me motivated. I became a coach! Even though I am just starting. I wanted to tell myself "I have to keep working because people depend on me". Maybe that's an idea for you?

Are you on Shakeology? I started noticing results quickly after getting on it. It's got all of the things your body needs to recover quickly from intense exercise and gives you all the nutrition you need.

Quicker muscle recovery + better nutrition = stronger muscles!

Man, I hope this helps you and I DON'T WANT YOU TO QUIT!!! 

That's the goal! Keep pushing play... keep pushing play!
