Weight Loss Guru

Our goals, dreams and ambitions are very important when it comes to weight loss, fitness and health but what are the ideals we have and are we just setting ourselves up for failure.

Have a look at my latest video about this and let us know what you think.  

 Watch me work with Katerina on GMTV who had obsessive compulsion disorder.

What does every single one of us have in common? What do you have in common with the woman sitting next to you on the bus? Or with the guy who fixes your boiler? Or even with your teenage daughter? Male, female, old, young, rich, poor, black or white - each of us has problems. No matter how good your life appears, chances are you’re not completely happy with your lot. In fact, a recent BBC survey undertaken for the programme The Happiness Formula found that the number of people who say they’re ‘very happy’ has fallen from 52% in 1957 to just 36% today.

The five problems that people find hardest to deal with are relationships, money, career, body image and fear and when things go wrong we can feel like the world’s coming to an end. But the truth of the matter is that as soon as we start to worry about something - like how we’re going to pay off our credit card bill or the fact we’ve got two weeks to fit into our bikini - we react in the way that we’ve always reacted. Without thinking about it, we fall into the trap of thinking ‘I can’t do anything’, ‘I feel useless’ or ‘I wish this would go away!’ We’re so used to feeling powerless that we don’t stop to think how we could do something differently.

 Do you think it’s hard to change and do we have the power to make our lives  better so we can be happier and healthier? Please share your thoughts about this as I am sure we can learn from each other.

I had one of the best days of my life yeterday as I was celebrating my 40th birthday.

Please watch this video and see the fanstic day I had with some great friends playing in a Michael Jackson fancy dress golf day.

If you are interested in enjoying your life and being greater than you are today then take ten minutes to listen to Will Smith talk about "Will's Wisdom". I think Will is an inspirational person and his wisdom is infectious. 

Please feel free to make any comments you have.

I’m back after a trip of a lifetime. 

I originally went out to Croatia on business and was supposed to return on Saturday, but with the natural disaster in Iceland I’ve only just got home, after travelling through eight European countries - Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Great Britain.

The whole experience has really taught me some very valuable lessons and maybe nature has a funny way of giving us some important messages.  For me, the message was “slow down, you’re moving too fast.”  It was also fascinating to observe the 150 delegates that I was working with who were from all over the world, and seeing how different people coped with the situation.  To me, the winners were definitely the Spanish. They seemed to deal with it in a way that it just became one long siesta for them. 

It was also really lovely to see how people came together and supported each other.  It was definitely a moving experience and something I will never ever forget.  I’ve made another film of our road trip that I’d like to share with you.

Hope you enjoy the film and thanks for all your lovely messages of support.

Interval training is great way to get fit and lose weight.

Check out this short film to find out more about this type of training.

I have been helping people get slimmer, fitter and healthier for over 20 years now and over the last few years I have become known as "The Weight Loss Guru" and this is why I started this free blog site.

This site is full of free inspirational information to support and motivate you as you move forward and achieve your goals. There are plenty of articles and videos as well as some excellent pod-casts with some of the leading Health and Fitness Professionals in the world.

What is a GURU?

A guru is a teacher, someone who leads a disciple to wisdom and self-realization. The word is formed by the syllables gu and ru. Gu indicates darkness, and ru indicates destruction. Thus, when translated directly, guru means ‘dispeller of darkness.’  GU and RU  indicate the juxtaposition of light and dark, where ignorance is dark, and knowledge - particularly spiritual knowledge - is light.

My mission as the Weight Loss Guru  is to liberate and free people from the constant battle of trying to lose weight and being on a merry-go-round of dieting. I want to inspire, support, encourage and motivate people to break habits and enjoy their lives.

My approach is about helping people with the following;

1. Belief in themselves

2. Being open to change

3. Conquering their fears

4. Showing them how to break bad habits

5. Giving them support and structure 

6. How to feel good about what you are doing

7. Taking personal responsibility

8. Understanding exercise

9. Breaking down their journey into manageable chunks

10. Staying positive and motivated
