Every year as Thanksgiving gets closer, you’ve probably seen the depressing reports: “Most people gain between 5 and 10 pounds of body fat in the six weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas.”

“This is the time of year when people celebrate their slowly depreciating life expectancy, via large bottles of whiskey and through gluttonous consumption of very large turkey legs.” - The Fly at ibankcoin.com

I’m not sure if this worries you or not, but a lot of people are terrified about getting fatter in the next two months. They anticipate the workouts falling by the wayside and the holiday food calling out to them irresistibly, defeating even the strongest willpower. There’s good news and bad news about this.

A few days ago, fat loss author/expert Tom Venuto
issued a bold challenge to hundreds of thousands of people…

Basically, he “called them out,” but in a motivating sort of way, that is.

Tom was making an announcement about a new type of fitness transformation challenge contest that will run – get this – through ALL the holidays:

Thanksgiving (US), Christmas and New Years.

He actually suggested that now is the BEST time to transform your body and that procrastinating until New Year’s is a pointless waste of time. If you wanted a better body, why wait, right?

He also said that he thinks its downright “neurotic” to believe that you cant get leaner AND enjoy holiday food at the same time.

According to Tom, that is a form of “EITHER / OR THINKING” which leads many people to procrastination, quitting or self-sabotage.

Tom’s email box practically exploded and his blog comments are nearing 400 and still coming in by the hour and he hasn’t even released the contest prizes list or started the registrations yet.

(Rumor has it, he is sending the contest winners somewhere warm and tropical… a perfect place to show off a new body!)

Tom said he has NEVER seen so much excitement in the fitness community in the 10 years he’s been online.

So what created all the buzz?
