You may have noticed the banner at the top of every page that reads, "What is your Fitness Solution?" It's a good question, and you may find it difficult to answer if you aren't in the shape you'd like to be in at the moment.

MFSCentral helps you come up with, and follow, a fitness solution designed specifically for you. Best of all, they are offering one lucky FitBuff reader a FREE one year membership to the program.

Here's one of their videos that shows the type of person they don't want you to become!

All you have to do to enter is tell us why you need a "Fitness Solution" in 20 words or less. The most entertaining, heart-felt, and/or funny submission will win the free membership.

Send your entries in using the contact form, or leave them as a comment on this post.

The contest ends one week from today.

Win a Free Copy of 'The Cheat to Lose Diet'

Congratulations to Raymond M., the winner of last month's competition, Contest: "The Abs Diet" by David Zinczenko, Ted Spiker.

Now it's time for this month's contest, and the prize is another great book that just came out last month: The Cheat to Lose Diet

Rules

This one is the easiest and fastest contest yet. All you have to do is Subscribe to FitBuff's Free RSS Feed. It takes less than 30 seconds and is completely free. That's it: Once you subscribe, you're eligible to win the contest. Don't worry if you've already subscribed (over 100 people have), because you will be included as well.

If you're still not quite sure what RSS is, you're not alone. It can be slightly confusing and intimidating to some at first, but I promise once you realize how it works, it will completely change the way you use the internet.

Prize

This month's prize is a brand new book from Joel Marion, called "The Cheat to Lose Diet".

I was intrigued by the concept of actually using diet "cheating" to your advantage, and curious to find out the science behind it. Joel did not disappoint. Not only did he explain in easy-to-understand terms exactly how and why his plan works, but he hammered it home by including literally hundreds of scientific studies and references to back his claims.

If that's not enough, at the end of the book, there are 75 awesome recipes from nutritional guru, Dr. John Berardi. In other words, The Cheat to Lose Diet walks you through, step-by-step, how to get the body you want, why it works, and exactly what to eat — all while cheating to your heart's content on a regular basis!

It's strange, but the cheating is actually a required part of the diet. Sounds like a ridiculous claim to get you to buy his book, but you can't deny the research and real-life experience he presents.

How many times has this happened to you? You start a new diet with every intention of sticking to it, cutting out all of your favorite foods and eating exactly what the diet tells you to. At first, you’re thrilled to see the numbers on the scale go down, but after a short while, weight loss slows and you hit a plateau. Then, you’re feeling quite the opposite – frustrated, weak, and unsatisfied. So what do you do? Exactly what we all do when a diet simply isn’t working: quit.

Many times, author, fitness expert, and Body-for-Life champion Joel Marion found himself in a similar place. But through a series of classic diet “screwups,” Joel discovered a startling truth: cheating on your diet can actually accelerate fat loss.

Based on cutting-edge medical research, The Cheat to Lose Diet reveals the hormonal connection between strategic cheating and fat loss that will change the way you diet forever. Special features include:

  • An easy-to-follow three-phase program: Priming, Core, and Maintenance
  • A simple weekly plan in which more carbohydrates are deliberately added with each passing day, leading up to the “Cheat Day”
  • The CTL Cardio Solution: a revolutionary eighteen-minute, fat-melting cardio workout that has been shown to burn up to nine times the fat of traditional cardio
  • Tips for staying on track, including twelve weeks of daily menu plans and seventy-five recipes, so you’re never in doubt of the types of foods and meals to enjoy while following the plan

On Cheat Days you’ll cheat BIG with all your favorite foods-chocolate chip cookies, pizza, ice cream–whatever you’d like and as much as you’d like of it. But never again will you feel guilty for indulging in the foods you love because you’ll learn and come to know that dietary cheating is absolutely vital to your fat-loss success.

Here, finally, is a diet that works with your body to help you lose fat faster than restrictive dieting ever could. So start cheating-and losing-today! Visit CheatToLoseDiet.com for your FREE diet plan.

Duration

The contest starts at the time of this post, and will end between September 24-30. Some time during that week, there will be a post that only RSS readers will be able to see. The first member to see that post in their RSS Feed and email us the password will be declared the winner.

Remember, if all this "RSS talk" is still a little foreign to you, just click here, and you'll understand it in only a few minutes.

Good luck and click here now for your chance to win!

Win a Free Copy of The Abs Diet

Congratulations to all the winners of last month's competitions, Contest: "The Game" by Neil Strauss and Free Copy of "Getting Things Done" by David Allen: Aaron, Nath, Scott, Robin, Paul, Robert, Sharon, Michael, Darren, and "Get Back My Ex."

All the prizes have been distributed, and now it's time for this month's contest.

Rules

This one is very easy. All you have to do is register for the FitBuff forums. It takes less than 30 seconds and is completely free. That's it: once you register, that counts as one entry into the contest. If you have already signed up for the forums before this contest was announced, don't worry, you will be included in the drawing automatically.

You can earn up to 10 additional entries by making a post on the forums. Your post can simply be a friendly greeting to fellow members, a response to someone's question, or a question of your own. For each post, you will receive one additional entry up to the limit of 10.

You must use a valid email address when registering, or we will have no way to contact the winner. Don't worry, none of the other users can see your email, and you will never receive any spam or junk email as a result. The only information anyone will see about you at all is your "Username", and you can make that anything you want.

Prize

This month's prize is one of the best nutrition books I've ever read. Notice I didn't say, "diet books." The Abs Diet goes so much deeper than that, actually explaining the science and facts behind the methods discussed in the reading. This means you can implement their suggestions, while making tweaks and customizations to fit your own lifestyle and/or preferences.

Whether you are severely overweight, or simply need to lose the last 10 pounds to reveal your abs, I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in achieving Total Mind and Body Fitness.

"The Abs Diet is a sensible eating and exercise plan, not a fad diet. The Abs Diet Powerfoods and the Abs Diet Workout are designed to make you fit, healthy, and lean for life. If you want to get on top of your game, this is where you start. Remember: Don't cheat yourself, treat yourself." –The Rock, movie star

"A must read for anyone who is serious about building a healthy body and changing to a healthy lifestyle. Most diets are based on gimmicks that set you up for failure; this is the first program I have seen that promotes a lifestyle change that anyone can live with." –David R. Pearson, Ph.D., director of the strength-research laboratory at Ball State University.

"Finally, a diet that's focused on what you can eat, not what you can't! . . . You'll look good, but you'll feel great–and you'll succeed at last!"–Heidi Skolnik, staff nutritionist for the New York Giants

"Clear, crisp, refreshingly sensible… There are few ‘diet books’ that I am willing to endorse. I endorse this one enthusiastically."—David L. Katz, M.D., director of medical studies in public health at Yale University School of Medicine

This book has over 200 rave reviews from Amazon customers and is ranked in the Top 800 best-selling books on ALL of Amazon.com. Click Here to see for yourself what all the hype is about.

Duration

The contest starts at the time of this post, and will end on August 31st at midnight eastern time. At that time, we will pick a random winner from the FitBuff Forums.

We will email the winner when the contest is over to get the mailing address where you would like us to send your prize.

In keeping with the Contests theme of the week, we want to make sure the prizes are spread out evenly among our ten areas of Total Mind and Body Fitness: Brain Power, Dating, Exercise, Family, Grooming, Money, Nutrition, Sex, Stress, and Work.

We've already covered Dating and Sex with yesterday's contest. Today's topic and prize fits perfectly in the Family and Work Life categories.

Everyone is always trying to get something done. Whether it's getting an important project done at work, a long term paper for school, or some overdue housework around the house, we could all use a little extra time and help to get things done faster and more efficiently.

"Getting Things Done" to the rescue! If you haven't heard of GTD, then today is your lucky day.

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen is widely regarded as one of the greatest productivity and efficiency books to date. Quite obviously, it teaches you the fine art of "getting things done," complete with methods, techniques, and examples to increase the amount of work you do, while decreasing your stress levels.

If you apply the information found in this book to your daily activities, no matter what they are, this book could quite possibly change your life. Most of the adjustments are very simple to implement and sometimes quite obvious, but you will be amazed at how much more you can get done in the same amount of time, all while keeping your mind completely clear and worry-free.

So What Do I Have to Do to Get a Free Copy?!

Leave a comment below with one quick productivity tip. That's it! Let us know one little thing that you do at home, at work, or anywhere else that helps you get things done. Just make sure someone else hasn't already given the same tip. You have until July 31st.

Starting today, there will be various contests with some great prizes to reward regular readers and members of FitBuff.com.

Each prize will have something to do with one of our 10 areas of Total Mind and Body Fitness: Brain Power, Dating, Exercise, Family, Grooming, Money, Nutrition, Sex, Stress, and Work.

If you have a suggestion for a contest or would like to see a certain prize available in a future contest, submit your idea to us here.

Rules

Today's pioneer contest is very easy, fast, and free to enter. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post with one of two things:

  1. Ask any question that relates to Dating and/or Sex. Make sure your question hasn't already been asked in another comment at the time of your post. You can ask up to 3 questions for a total of 3 entries.

    These questions will be used in future posts complete with detailed answers and explanations. Good deal, right? Enter the contest to win a prize AND get your burning question answered.

  2. Leave a comment with a funny and/or educational story about one of your experiences with Dating and/or Sex.

    You can submit up to 2 stories for a total of 2 more entries.

And yes, you can do both, but only one is required. For example you can submit the maximum of 3 questions and 2 stories, and as long as they are all separate comments, you will have 5 chances to win. Or, you can simply submit one question or one story for one chance to win. Are you feeling lucky?

You must use a valid email address when leaving a comment, or we will have no way to contact the winner. Don't worry, none of the other users can see your email. The only information anyone will see about you at all is your "Name", and you can make that anything you want.

Prize

Now that the rules are out of the way, what exactly are these entries for–what's the prize?!

Appropriately enough, since Friday's are Dating and Sex Day here at FitBuff.com, you are entering for the chance to win a shiny new copy of The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss (a $30 value).

Are you just another AFC ("average frustrated chump") trying to meet an HB ("hot babe")? How would you like to "full-close" with a Penthouse Pet of the Year? The answers, my friend, are in Neil Strauss's entertaining book The Game. Strauss was a self-described chick repellant–complete with large, bumpy nose, small, beady eyes, glasses, balding head, and, worst of all, painful shyness around women. He felt like "half a man." That is, until a book editor asked him to investigate the community of pickup artists. Strauss's life was transformed. He spent two years bedding some fine chiquitas and studying with some of the North America's most suave gents–including the best of them all, the God of the pickup "community," a man named Mystery.

This book has over 400 rave reviews from Amazon customers and is ranked in the Top 200 best-selling books on ALL of Amazon.com. Click Here to see for yourself what all the hype is about.

Duration

The contest starts at the time of this post, and will end on July 31st at midnight eastern time. At that time, a random number generator will be used to pick a — you guessed it — random number between 1 and "however many comments there are". If the number matches your comment number on this post, you are the winner!

We will email the winner when the contest is over to get the mailing address where you would like us to send your prize.

If you have any question at all about the contest, rules, prizes, or anything else, please Click Here to Contact Us.

Good luck and start commenting now!
