Jeremy Likness's Amazing Story
 

November 12th, 2004 - The book -- "Become the Journey: A Transformation Guide" -- addresses a critical aspect of weight loss and healthy living: mindset. Written by Jeremy Likness, 29, a former couch potato who lost 65 pounds of fat before become a Certified Fitness Trainer, the book is more than a guide, but Jeremy's personal story of physique transformation. He shares the trials and tribulations of the journey to good health that he and his wife shared as they lost more than 100 pounds of unwanted fat between the two of them.


"The first day that I looked into the mirror and no longer felt ashamed of who I was, it struck me," says Jeremy. "The key to my transformation was not nutrition or training. They played a role, but that information is out there and easy to come by. The most crucial element of my success was mindset - that I focused on my self-image and created the confidence to empower myself to change. Most people do it backwards, believing that losing weight will create confidence."

Jeremy realized that many of the books on the market fail to address this personal development aspect of healthy living. "There are tons of books that explain revolutionary methods for eating or some new system of training, but without inner drive, these systems can be difficult to adopt. What people need is to understand how to dig deep inside themselves, and create a commitment to living healthy that will keep them moving through challenges. Personal development taught me to create a vision greater than myself, so that it was powerful enough to overcome the mental barriers I was trying to get rid of."

Become the Journey does more than simply share the steps necessary to adopt a success mindset. It builds a foundation of knowledge about nutrition - without imposing a specific program. Jeremy's goal is to give the reader enough information to find a program that works for them and fits into their lifestyle, without forcing them into a method of eating or training that they are not comfortable with. He also shares the critical moments in his life when he was able to overcome obstacles and breakthrough to new levels.

"This is what makes my book unique. I am very familiar with the journey. It changed my life - impacting not only my physique and my health, but my relationship with my family and even my career. I share those moments - from the time I was living in a small garage apartment and smoking cigarettes every day, to my current home in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota with my wonderful family. I want readers to understand that anyone can achieve good health - you don't have to be born fit. It takes guts, and dedication, but it can truly transform you from the inside out."

Jeremy understands that many people want to lose weight, but don't know where to begin. They focus on the diet or exercise, and don't realize that without a deeper commitment, it can be easy to make excuses, skip workouts, and eat unhealthy foods. "I share my own story to demonstrate how powerful vision and personal development can be. I've been told that my gift is to take complex topics and make them simple and easy to understand. That was my goal with the nutrition and training sections: to give my readers the pieces of the puzzle they need to create the lifestyle they deserve. And it all starts with the most important muscle: the mind."

Reviewers are raving about this powerful book and it's novel approach to weight loss. International motivational speaker John Di Lemme calls the book "a must for everyone's personal success library." Fitness trainer Darren Stehle recommends the book "to anyone who feels they would benefit from an inspiring, personal story as a motivator to make changes in their own life." Tami Brady of eBook Reviews Weekly calls the book "an extensive guide to total health" and "a well-written motivation, diet, and exercise guide."
