Just released my eBook, "How I Lost 140 Pounds"

[tfpriest]

Hey all!

I reached my fitness goals finally, after a long hard battle with obesity.

In light of reaching my goals, I decided to brand a site and make an eBook about my story and hopefully inspire some people. I know, it's kind of gimmicky, but I decided - why not?

Check it out at http://www.transformingtim.com

Good job on their weight loss. I'm personally not a fan of people trying to use their weight loss for profit so I hope you keep it free but good job regardless.

Thanks brah. I'm thinking about writing a fairly comprehensive book along with some audio and video courses eventually and selling that some day. Just gotta get motivated and start on that now

I would use my last bowel movement for profit if the market were there. Internet Marketer until the day I die.

Good work op.

Good work op.

Thanks brah!

[mpipes]

Awesome work man!

and if you did try to make money off it, no big deal cause there's nothing wrong with making a living doing something you're obviously passionate about and willing to share!

[bdrusse]

Good job man. No shame in profit either. Just as long you keep it real and the info useful.

Good job on the fat loss OP.

I tried to click the download link, but it tried to log me in to ********? NO way. ********=Trash. You should post a direct link on your site for us non-******** users. Also, your site has that spam feel to it, if you really plan on making money selling your book (which is a great idea), you should adjust your page to not look so cliche with the rest of the populations fat loss sites. My .02

Sent you a PM with a direct link.

Great job OP. I was just thinking about KingOfChaos today. He said he was writing a book about his weight loss journey (mind you, he was 600lbs at one point) and this shows up!

I love reading success stories, they are a great way to keep me motivated.

Mind sending me the direct link too? Non FB user here.

I hope nobody gives you money for whatever (if anything) you're trying to sell. No offense, but this site is free and has an endless pool of information compared to what you'd offer. With that being said, if you can get people to buy your 'story', more power to you.

I'm not selling anything. The book is free about my life story and the site has a free weight loss mini course. The only thing I asked in return was a share on ******** to get exposure. Bodybuilding.com is an excellent resource, you are right. But, that doesn't mean everybody should drop out of the fitness industry just because Bodybuilding.com exists.

I registered but FB is still required to read the ebook.

Sorry but this is looking more and more like some kind scam.

You can enter in a random fake email on ******** when you sign up. You don't have to activate it or anything. Then hit the share button to post it to your wall and you can download it. Not a scam because this is what I did and it worked.

Anyway, thanks OP. I'm sure most of us can use the motivation!

It's not a scam... Well if you think a scam is capturing lead information, then it's a scam but that's a pretty common tactic that actually I base my entire business off of. You give me some contact info, I give you some material/product/access/whatever.

A scam, in my book, is a misleading idea or proposition.

If he's actually providing what he says he is, then it isn't a scam. Otherwise it would have been.


No ********, I guess I'll skip this one.

This site is not free, every single piece of content, articles, videos, and the entire forum community are all geared towards getting you to spend money at the BB.com store or getting advertising revenue. You may or may not buy anything but BB.com is making money on YOUR forum posts regardless, and all the people who write articles for the main site are paid to do so. Can't sustain that with a free website.

This is totally true, making money is not an evil thing everyone has to do it. I think a lot of the more sophisticated internet users are a bit jaded by the constant marketing spam we get bomarded with on a daily basis. The diet/exercise industry also has a terrible track record for marketing things that are complete garbage. If the OP can make some money off is his book and entertain people while giving them some good advice I hope he does succeed in marketing his book.

how hard is it to release an ebook?

[fearbrandon]

ive lost over 140 lbers.. but im going back to school for nutrition and hopefully can one day , pass on my knowledge to the masses

can i have a link to your book as well?

[SimRad]

I can understand you are not a fan, but what is the problem with that? I think it would be a great idea for everybody to be able to make some money out of their life experiences if it were possible.

Good job though, I think that is incredible, and you did a good job with your body. Have all my best wishes with e website and e-book.

[HansCater]

Nice progress man. I am so happy for you and I am very glad that your reached your goals. I think the idea of creating an e-book is not bad either.

How long did it take you to make such progress? And was it stressful, fun or just tiresome?

Again congrats man.

[DarthInvadeHer]

can i have a link to your book as well?

Oh lawd

[heath01]

good job mang

looking at your bodyspace and pics you are def not 196 lbs 14% bodyfat ...especially with a 36 inch waist. someone with those legit stats looks pretty damn huge. you could still trim 6 inches off of your waist u should have waited longer to publish the book until you have completed the process

Well, if you read the book, you'd see that it was more of a cultural problem. I was already fat by 7 years old. I was over 200 pounds at 12 years old, and over 250 at 15. I grew up in a small town of a couple hundred people, and it was all I knew at the time. It wasnt until I moved out, went to college, and moved around that I figured it out. Plus, the book is free. Obesity isn't always about stupidity.

The book is about making mistakes and coming back from them though and ending up on top. It's supposed to be inspirational. But, I know you've lived a perfect and mistake free life and require no inspiration at all.
