My coach organization, THAT TEAM, is organizing an online community and support group called the 2 TON MISSION. The focus of the group and community will be to lose a collective 4000 (2 tons) or more body fat in 2013, starting on January 1st! This group will be completely FREE and ANYONE can join. Our only goal is to get as many people as possible in to a fit and healthy lifestyle by providing the community and support to make it fun and engaging. Whether you are doing P90X, running, going to the gym, etc… WE WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF THIS MOVEMENT!
THAT TEAM’s 2 TON MISSION
The 2 TON MISSION is simple. Join the message board with a simple username and password, along with an access password provided by myself, your own coach that is part of THAT TEAM. Once you are in the group you can privately log your progress with simple waist and weight measurements. The site will then use this information to again privately add your body fat loss progress to the overall total. The end result is that that you will be part of a movement much larger and more significant than something like the Biggest Loser. This will be an interactive group of online friends working together to obliterate 4000 pounds of real body fat.
We in THAT TEAM are waging the WAR on obesity and body fat… and we are serious about winning!
The discussion forums that you will have access to as a part of the 2 TON MISSION will be a place of support, helpful information, and encouragement. We want EVERYONE, regardless of fitness level or experience to feel welcome and to feel like their voice can be heard and their questions and opinions matter. That is why the boards will have specific rules that allow for constructive discussion and absolute support, with the good of the community in mind.
How to Join the 2 TON MISSION
STEP #1 – Get Your Free Coach!!
First of all, you need an assigned coach from Beachbody. This is completely FREE and there is no obligation to buy anything. This is merely so we know which coach is assigned to support every member of the 2 TON MISSION.
If you already have a Coach from THAT TEAM, you are set! You can move ahead to Step #2.
If you do not have a Beachbody Coach, contact a coach you know or you can contact me by sending me a message here and we can get you set up with a free membership!
If you have a coach, discuss your needs with your current coach and see if your coach is willing to support you. If you are unable to reach your coach or would prefer to have a different coach, you have the ability to change coaches if that is your desire. However, do not contact me about changing coaches without making an effort to work with your current coach first.
Good Job! Now…
STEP #2 – Join THAT TEAM’s Community Forum and The 2 TON MISSION
Once you have set your coach, you can join the community. Click the banner below to go to THAT TEAM’s website and join the MISSION! Once you’ve joined the mission you will receive an email with a link to our community forum. You will need to set a username, password, and list me or your other THAT TEAM coach in the “Coach” field to register for the forums. You will receive the access code from me at the completion of STEP #1. If you do not have an access code and have completed STEP #1, Contact Me and I will get you the access code immediately!

STEP #3 – Post and Become an Active Part Of The 2 TON MISSION
Really, we just want this to be a fun way for you to be accountable and find success in health and fitness. We can’t help you if you don’t participate. We have an awesome group of coaches and members that can be there for a number of things. Tips and help with fitness, nutrition, and support. Ideas and ways to stay motivated. As much as we want to hit an overall big number with the 2 TON MISSION, we are more concerned with our ability to help each individual with their own success and find their way to a fitter, healthier, and happier life. If you interact with us, we will make it happen.
Also, if you have never calculated your body fat percentage, here is a simple calculator one of my teammates put together to help you determine you body fat (Click 2 TON MISSION Body Fat Calculator). The reason we will be calculating body fat instead of just weight, is that weight is not an accurate representation of body composition. Many times people lose body fat working out but do not drop weight on the scale, and end up quitting exercise… even though they are SUCCEEDING! So use the simple calculator to determine your body fat and enter into the 2 TON MISSION!
Become a part of a great community while learning ways to really win the battle for a healthy lifestyle. It’s all about sharing knowledge and support… those are the keys to your success. Join us and be a part of something… and stay motivated long enough to learn new habits that last a lifetime!
ESPN Films 30 for 30 Shorts - Arnold’s Blueprint (by THEknoww)
Simply amazing! What Arnold Schwarzenegger has accomplished and how he started was nothing short of amazing. We all have that potential built in us already. Harness it, discover your passion, your dream, your vision. Build your goals around that vision and do whatever it takes to accomplish it.
simple formula for life:
What you give = what you receive
This is the foundation that our world and reality insists upon, equilibrium. What is lost in one form, will be gained in another. Nothing can be destroyed, nor created. Just transformed.
TRANSFORM!!! ROUND 2 OF BODY BEAST STARTS TODAY!
You wake up to the sound of your awful alarm hours before the sun even dares to show it’s face several days a week. Around the time most people are waking up to start complaining about having to roll out of bed you are finishing a workout where you just busted your ass for a few hours. You get…

2800.
That’s the number of calories that I have to consume each day to reach the target weight of 160lbs. within the next 88 days of my journey. Now that’s 2800 CLEAN calories. Meaning I’m fueling my body properly with highly nutrient dense, good for you, great tasting foods each and every day! And to keep track, I’ve got a spreadsheet. Here’s a preview:
I can easily consume 2800 calories if I wanted to with all the crappy, unhealthy, disgusting food out there. I could go to one restaurant get an appetizer, main course, and dessert, a shot and a beer and I’d be somewhere around 1600 easy! But that’s not going to happen because my goals, my desire to be proud of my body, my success, my beliefs, my values, my principles, and my entire being matter so much more to me than Cheesecake Factory, alcohol, shitty food, and the easy way.
Am I being meticulous? HELL YEAH! You’ve gotta be willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to make it because rewards are earned not given and SUCCESS is never handed out to those that don’t WORK FOR IT.
Made by me.
You’d be surprised at the difference that just one week can make.

An excerpt from
The Power of Discipline
by Brian TracyWhy are some people more successful than others? Why do some people make more money, live happier lives and accomplish much more in the same number of years than the great majority?
I started out in life with few advantages. I did not graduate from high school. I worked at menial jobs. I had limited education, limited skills and a limited future.
And then I began asking, “Why are some people more successful than others?” This question changed my life.
Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement. It seems that the reasons for these accomplishments have been discussed and written about for more than two thousand years, in every conceivable way. One quality that most philosophers, teachers and experts agree on is the importance of self-discipline. As Al Tomsik summarized it years ago, “Success is tons of discipline.”
Some years ago, I attended a conference in Washington. It was the lunch break and I was eating at a nearby food fair. The area was crowded and I sat down at the last open table by myself, even though it was a table for four.
A few minutes later, an older gentleman and a younger woman who was his assistant came along carrying trays of food, obviously looking for a place to sit.
With plenty of room at my table, I immediately arose and invited the older gentleman to join me. He was hesitant, but I insisted. Finally, thanking me as he sat down, we began to chat over lunch.
It turned out that his name was Kop Kopmeyer. As it happened, I immediately knew who he was. He was a legend in the field of success and achievement. Kop Kopmeyer had written four large books, each of which contained 250 success principles that he had derived from more than fifty years of research and study. I had read all four books from cover to cover, more than once.
After we had chatted for awhile, I asked him the question that many people in this situation would ask, “Of all the one thousand success principles that you have discovered, which do you think is the most important?”
He smiled at me with a twinkle in his eye, as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied, without hesitating, “The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago. He said, ‘Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.’”
He went on to say, “There are 999 other success principles that I have found in my reading and experience, but without self-discipline, none of them work.”
Self-discipline is the key to personal greatness. It is the magic quality that opens all doors for you, and makes everything else possible. With self-discipline, the average person can rise as far and as fast as his talents and intelligence can take him. But without self-discipline, a person with every blessing of background, education and opportunity will seldom rise above mediocrity.
In the pages ahead I will describe seven areas of your life where the practice of self-discipline will be key to your success. These areas include goals, character, time management, personal health, money, courage and responsibility. It is my hope that you’ll find a few “nuggets” that will help make your dreams come true.
An excerpt from
The Strangest Secret
by Earl NightingaleGeorge Bernard Shaw said, “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, they make them.”
Well, it’s pretty apparent, isn’t it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.
Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn’t know where he’s going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing… he becomes nothing.
How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I’ll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.
Suppose a farmer has some land, and it’s good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn’t care. It’s up to the farmer to make the decision.
We’re comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn’t care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn’t care what you plant.
Now, let’s say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds - one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land…and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted.
As it’s written in the Bible, “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.”
Remember the land doesn’t care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants - one corn, one poison.
The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn’t care what we plant…success…or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal…or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety and so on. But what we plant must return to us.
You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.
