 So I am not brave enough to show more skin than is present and I admire those of y'all that did. I have dieted soooo long and finally reached my goal summer of last year. So I have taken some time off:( I had people tell me I was too thin and it was messing with my mental state. I have never been a 'skinny' person. I was always curvy and thicker. I think my identity was wrapped up in this image. I think others around me felt the same way. So when they started saying things I started eating again. I also had work schedule changes and never got back into good habits. I love good food and spirits but my weekend was running into my week. Until a month ago I didn't feel that bad in clothes, but things have changed. It is time to get my sh*t together. I planned on doing this in January like everyone else in America, but now will do! I have needed this. I am currently 126.2 and my goal end of February is to be 116. I am going to eat less carbs and sugar. I am going to drink less and go to bed by 10:30. I plan to work out 5 days a week, high intensity and interval training. No more excuses! I will try to keep other's opinions out of my head and strive for what makes ME happy. I want to be cut again and feel good.

Lifebook Member Jack Bosch challenges the conventional “pile of money” theory and encourages us to follow the “cash flow” theory, so that we can retire sooner, and experience a continual flow of cash for the rest of our lives. Click here to watch the video now....

Written by Lifebook Member Joe Simon It really is 90% attitude. There is no science behind what we're talking about here, just a mind-set. Something each of us have decided that takes us from being "Good" to "Great" and eventually in the hunt for our "Greatest." The...

Written by Lifebook Member Joe Santiago I realized that, while I had achieved some success in certain areas of my life, the only way to lead a truly extraordinary life was to ensure that any success I did experience did not come at the expense of...

Your body is providing constant feedback. But, are you listening? On any given day, our bodies send hundreds of thousands of messages to various cells, organs, systems, and metabolic processes in order to keep things functioning in tip-top shape and in a state of homeostasis (a happy medium) - or as close to it as possible. Your ability to listen to your body signals is the number one determining factor in how healthfully and vibrantly you will live your life. Think about your sleep patterns. How do you know when it’s time to go to bed? Your body tells you. Your breathing becomes deeper and more subdued. You yawn. You think about hitting the sack. You’re tired. Try as you might to not listen, sleep is one of those things in your body’s wiring that is inevitable. Eventually, you will become so tired you have to sleep. Other body signals aren’t quite as obvious. Eating, for instance, has become a chaotic experience for the majority of Americans. Because of the lightning-fast pace of our society day-in and day-out, it’s incredibly easy to lose touch with our body signals when it comes to food. We eat for convenience, on the go, on the couch, in the drive-thru and often in between pressing tasks that steal our attention for the duration of our meals. Even movement and exercise seem to have been hijacked by an avalanche of conflicting “expert” opinions and media standards. We no longer feel what our bodies need… we must be told how to move in order to stay healthy. For most people, “healthy movement” consists of 30-60 minutes of isolated exercise in the midst of an otherwise sedentary day. The more we sit still, the less our bodies want to move, and the weaker they become. But still, they whisper silently to us -- sending us signals that would transform our lives, if only we would listen. These signals can feel like fatigue, frustration, lack of motivation, depression, or any other symptom that indicates we are out of balance. The devastating truth is that when we lose touch with what our body is telling us, we miss out on a key component to health that affects every area of our lives -- our intuition.

I had high expectations coming into [Lifebook] because I was coming with some challenges in my life; most specifically in my love life, but also with my career and attitude. I had started to feel overwhelmed at the smallest things in life and, although I...

“A man with few friends is only half-developed; there are whole sides of his nature which are locked up and have never been expressed. He cannot unlock himself, he cannot even discover them; friends alone can stimulate him and open him.” -Randolph Bourne When it comes to expanding our social lives, quality is key.  Exceptional relationships are foundational to building a successful, fulfilling life. But this category can be one of the most challenging of all.  It’s NOT EASY to find extraordinary people, or create quality interactions.  While we at Lifebook believe that each and every person has the potential to be extraordinary, the sad truth is, it’s a very rare and beautiful thing. But they’re out there.  A whole world of remarkably unique and valuable individuals is within our reach.  We just have to create the opportunities to find them, and be ready when the moment arises.

Great feats of memory anyone can do h
Our lives are the sum total of our memories. How much are we willing to lose from our already short lives by being too lazy to process our experience deeply? Each of us has an incredible capacity to remember. But if you want to live a truly memorable life, you have to be the kind of person who remembers to remember. In his compelling TED Talk, Joshua Foer shares his story of activating his memory, and shares memory techniques and shortcuts that force a depth of processing and mindfulness that most of us don’t normally exercise…
