How I Did It

Would you like to know how I did it?

If you want to know how and indeed whether I lost and kept off a lot of weight, the answer is yes, I was quite significantly overweight and I took that weight off several years ago simply by listening to my husband (for a change).

"And about time" he'd say. (Not that I lost weight, that I listened to him! Dieter could cope admirably with a chubby wife, but a chubby and cranky one was a bit much for any man).

My husband is a dreaded mesomorph, so that even when our diet consisted of large portions with creamy sauces and abundant lashings of alcohol, he never looked particularly overweight or unfit.

As an inferior pear shaped endomorph, I wore most of what I ate and drank on my long suffering hips and thighs and belly.

I blindly ignored the fact that Dieter had been an amateur bodybuilder and athlete in his youth and had been a partner in a gym in Europe.

I ignored the fact that he could indeed teach me how to safely lose weight and to keep it off permanently. I ignored my shrinking clothes till I was on the cusp of obesity.

So, how I did it? My personal "this is it" moment arrived and I sat and listened humbly to my very knowledgeable husband. I committed myself to his diet and exercise advice. I lost my excess fat and have kept it off for years.

What's more, fitness and diet have become a fascinating hobby to me. I believe that is the true secret of permanent weight loss. You have to make your healthy lifestyle changes central to your life. Absolute top priority. Get fit, eat right and be as informed as you can get.

Keep learning about your #1 hobby and you will stay focused. Works for me. It will work for you too if you are prepared to make it happen.

This is actually Dieter's website. He has done the design work for lose fat get fit and learned how to build a website with Site Build It. Dieter did it the easy way. How I did it was the hard way.

I have my own website weight-control-diet-advice.com and how I did it was from scratch using a basic webhost from Sydney. I felt the need for someone "local" who could be readily contacted.

Not a total mistake and I have kept that site as there are some advantages in my package with this company, but boy was I on my own regarding how to build a website.

Because I had only a vague idea of how to build a website, I spent a lot of time teaching myself the basics of html, stealing ideas from other successful websites and trying to put a quality site together using my native cunning and way too much trial and error.

I called my webhost on many occasions and sometimes they could help and sometimes "the right person" was not available to help me or the software did not support what I wanted to do. A couple of curly emails never actually got an answer!

Frustrated but undefeated, I soldiered on with my quest to build an informative fat loss website.

Eventually I found a handy FREE guide on the net called the Affiliate Masters Course.

I was impressed with the Affiliate Masters Course, not only because it got a ringing endorsement from Alan Gardyne, the #1 affiliate marketer on the net ever, but mainly because it seemed quite pure and honest to me.

And it had so much useful stuff I could just take and run with. All the invaluable knowledge I gained did not cost me a cent! If you could use some very meaty and comprehensive website building advice, download a FREE copy of the Affiliate Masters Course. The emphases of this course is on the importance of providing your visitors with quality content when so many sites are concerned only with fast sell for minimum effort.

I found the best bit in it was the SearchIt tool that allowed me to research the best keywords to use in my site. I could use the basic version of this tool forever whether I chose to buy the program or not.

Of course, it is a promo for Site Build It , but I spent 6 months modeling my site on the advice in this course and I was pleased with the results.

Pleased enough to get Dieter actively involved. He spent a month checking out the Sitesell company, surfing SBI forums and checking out the owner Ken Evoy, then with typical caution, decided to take advantage of the FREE "try before you buy offer".

That was the birth of this site; lose fat get fit.

Because we were able to make a direct comparison to a website that I built with another host, I can say with absolute confidence that our Site Build It investment has been well worth the money spent for the headaches it saved.

How I did it with SBI was a lot quicker than with my first site, more thorough and quite foolproof in many respects. There are a lot of check systems in place that simply prevent you from moving away from a job until it is finished off properly, whereas in other sites it is very easy to leave out something important, be it a link or a graphic or headline.

SBI combines creativity with logic. It is very difficult to get anything wrong with the block builder system used for each and every page.

Everything you do is explained in painstaking, sometimes painful detail. Everything works. All of our questions got answered. There are no glitches and no mysteries.

Best of all, SBI caters for the advanced html user as well as the complete website novice. It is a mindblowingly comprehensive program.

We are currently in the planning stage of our second SBI site, a travel site about the beautiful North Coast of NSW, where we consider ourselves very fortunate to be able to call home.

If you want to build your own website and gain financial freedom, satisfaction, enjoyment and maybe even the opportunity to quit your day job doing something you love, give Site Build It your serious consideration.

That's how I did it.
