New Beginnings

As you know, I just wrapped season 11 of The Biggest Loser and my best friend, Jillian is leaving to pursue new endeavors; I will miss her, but all of this change has made me think a lot about new beginnings!

Throughout the years on the show, I have learned so much about myself.  One thing that I found to be most important in succeeding is a fresh routine.  With summer fast approaching, new things are blossoming everywhere, as with every season’s change, and I want you to focus on implementing freshness into your life.

I have received your letters, Tweets and Facebook posts… and guess what? I LISTENED! I just revamped my website, launched a line of supplements – “Bob Harper’s Smart Success” and will be talking a lot more about food!  I am so excited about a new series of webisodes I will be launching this week titled “My Fit Food.”

The food webisodes will be a great new way for me to share my favorite food tips and ideas.  I may not be Julia Child, but I will certainly let you know my simple secrets to healthy eating!   And of course, paired with a healthy diet is exercise.   My newest DVD, “Beginner’s Weight Loss Transformation,” is now available and is the perfect way to start out your journey or simply implement a fresh routine into your regimen!

I am thrilled to move forward with the seasons and hope that you join me on this fresh start! To celebrate this new start I would like to offer you free shipping on my newest DVD: Bob Harper – Beginner’s Weight Loss Challenge (use code “newbeginnings” at checkout).

Join me in welcoming a new beginning.. and remember I am always here for you!
