"Hey Guys!! 

I Reveal
Q: What are you doing to lose the weight Kareem? How does it work? How much does it cost?
A: "Revelation Fitness basically treats you like a celebrity to get your where you want to be. A diet trainer looks at your diet almost, if not daily to help you make better food choices and combinations. Then, a physical trainer literally works you out. Everything is charted and counted.
There is a reason Matt Damon or Brad Pitt can get all jacked up and then lose it for a different role. They will treat you like a celebrity. It's pretty awesome, as are the results. [My wife] looks great, but she's not putting pictures up. [note: Kareem is posting his progress shots every week on Facebook].
I've said "God I'd pay a MILLION DOLLARS to lose the weight I put since college. How many trainers have I gone through? How many different athletic endeavors? Half marathons? Triathlons? Long Distance swims? 100 mile bike rides? While it is expensive, Revelation Fitness is for real, and way less than all the other stuff I've been trying only to not get results.
They should be paying me for this marketing."

Logical Fallacy #1: Putting the Cart Before the Horse
V: "Hi Mariah, Thank you for your friend acceptance. I look forward to your inspiration as I go through my journey. I have already lost over 150lbs on WW and now need to really shape up, but do not want to Bulk up.. Any suggestions? You look awesome. needless to say, I have not done that much exercising as of yet.. I am ready to get my butt ready to shape up.. "
Mariah: "V congratulations on your loss so far! My first tip is: get after it and don't worry about "bulking up." That is an irrational fear at this point that people use to not try: tantamount to me saying I don't want to start a Savings Account because what if I make allot of money, start investing wisely, and the stock market crashes and I lose it? Totally irrational and a poor (if articulate and widely accepted) EXCUSE! Get your butt to the gym tomorrow! xo"
Another response, from Michael O, who himself was 'bulky' (50 lbs overweight) but recently lost it and now competes in triathlons long and lean: "It is astounding how often I hear a woman say "I don't want to bulk up." I hear this from my female friends all the time when I ask if they want to join me at the gym. I'm not a fitness professional like you, but as someone that runs 6-15 miles a day, bikes and swims regularly, rock climbs, does 40-60 pull-ups daily, and eats well, I can assure women everywhere that it is hard to build bulk. It doesn't happen on accident. Women with muscular quads or big arms bust their ass for them they don’t 'just happen'.”
Logical Fallacy #2: Non-Sequitors
To Mariah by email: “I'm a ICU nurse and with the long hours & crazy stress level, I've really struggled with emotional eating and all the negative effects-mood swings and feeling down.”
Mariah: "Excuse is the wrong word for this logical fallacy: non-sequitor is. Part B does not logically follow from Part A.
I have no doubt that you struggled with emotional eating, but I think the source is not your job. I hear the same thing from stay-at-home-mom’s believe it or not.
Unravel your NSQ's: logical connections that lead you to fear, depression, and overeating.
I think what you’re saying is you sense that your body is a reflection of what’s going on inside – but you’re not sure how to address it. It’s complex. The good news is that I do believe that in answering the question, “What fitness program is going to get me results?” you will find the answer to some of your other questions."
