In this episode we have some fun going through some motivational quotes of wisdom that we think about whenever we need to realign ourselves!

During the discussion we'll explain how each quote can be applied in your lifestyle and what it means for your weight loss. Here's a list of the quotes we discuss in this episode!

* The more confident you are in your ability to do a task, the easier it is to do the task * It's easier to make decisions right than to make the right decisions * When it's obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps * Start small, stay consistent, that's the formula * In an effort to not miss anything, we unwittingly miss everything...there's a little imperfection in the perfect life * An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory - it's easier to learn something new than to do something old * There is NOBODY like you, and once you realize that, your entire future changes

In this episode we're joined by fitness and fat loss expert Jonathan Bailor, author of the book, The Calorie Myth. In this riveting interview Jonathan debunks the myths surrounding calories and explains the concept of "set point", a system within the body that prevents you from losing weight and maintaining those weight loss results.
