What does Jerome Kersey and CoachTom Have in Common?


Right off the bat, I want you to know that I’m not a professional basketball fan. Yes, I know, I live 20 minutes from the home of the Portland Trailblazers. So.

However, Friday night I had the opportunity to met Jerome Kersey (he’s the one on the left in the photo above). We both health coaches with a great company and Friday night we were at the Red Lion at Jenzen Beach for an overview of Take Shape for Life Program. We were there with over 1,100 people, the largest informational meeting in the history of the eight year old company.

Some came to meet Jerome and to have their picture taken with him. The majority of us were there to hear about how we can help reverse the trend of obesity in America.

The path to permanent weight control and optimal health started right here it Portland, Oregon. This is where Dr. Wayne Scott Andersen developed and field-tested the Take Shape for Life program.

Does it work? I think so. Since May 2008 have lost and kept off 80 pounds. I haven’t felt (and have been told looked) this good in years. My health coach asked me a simple question: could I eat every 2 ½ to 3 hours? I had no problem eating all day. I started on May 9th and never looked back. What is neat is that I have been able to go back to my favorite foods. I love banana cream pie and have it daily now. It’s a fat free yogurt, but have discovered I like it better than the real stuff. Yes, so of you would say I’m strange. I don’t mind. Every time I look in the mirror I thank Dr. Andersen.

I’m not going to list my phone number or email here, so this is not a commercial, but leave me a comment if you would like more information for yourself or a friend or family member. Together we just might save someone’s life. Friends don’t let friends eat too much.

Off on a new adventure with Squidoo


Today I created my first lens (web page) on Squidoo (http://www.squidoo.com/) Squidoo is an awesome site that let's us create our own web pages. I have already discovered that the magic of Squidoo is how quickly the serendipity of exploration kicks in. Another words, there are thousands of pages on hundreds of topics just waiting to be explored. It's very easy to get lost surfing.

The link to my lens is http://www.squidoo.com/coachtom. Take a look and give me some feedback. There is a comment section at the bottom of the page.
As you can see from the lens, I'm building my Take Shape for Life coaching practice. This week I joined the Sandy (Oregon) Area Chamber of Commerce and worked a booth at their annual Golf Tournament at the Resort at the Mountain (http://www.theresort.com/) That was Wednesday when it rained all day.

The weight? It's still coming off. I have now lost 65 pounds since May 9th. I cannot remember being this skinny. I feel great and people tell me I look great too.
