Ladies and gentlemen this is what it all boils down to: How bad do you want it? Is it a priority for you to lose fat? Do you yearn to be the fit and show the world your new body? Have you oppressed yourself through out your life by missing the pool parties, boating trips, playing outdoor basketball, shopping at the malls, and even going on dates and dinner parties because you feel overweight? If so than I can help you. I just want you to answer this one simple question honestly. How bad do you want to be a lean, mean, fitness machine?
If you didn’t hesitate and your still reading I assume you want it BAD!!!!
Trust me I felt the same way you do now when I was 333 pounds and so fat that the only store I could really shop at was “Big and Tall”. My life was falling apart and I felt my weight was a main problem. I was embarrassed to go out with my wife and kids because I was so proud of them for what they are that I felt that I would embarrass them because I was so obese and disgusting.
At my heaviest around November of 2001 I weighted a whopping 333 pounds at an unknown body fat, wore size 48” pants, and 6’1” tall. One night I had an awaking and vowed to lose my weight to at least fell like my life wasn’t in jeopardy. I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest. I gave up pop, cigarettes, pizza, and fast foods like McDonalds and Pizza. I still neglected to exercise with the exception of a weekly basketball. By August of 2002 I reached a new low of 260 pounds, tight size 36” waist, and hit a plateau that I wasn’t able to break. I continued to hold this weight until about July of 2004. The main portion of my weight program consisted of eating Subway meals for lunch which showed tremendous success.
I slowly began to regain my weight until Christmas day of 2004 when I reached a large 288 pounds again and my pants size was back to a very tight 40” waist. I again vowed to stop the madness and lose the fat! I busted my butt on the stair master and weight machine and couldn’t get past 277 by March 5 th of 2005. I then found Tom Veneto and the Burn the Fat -Feed the Muscle Program.
On 8/26/05after 25 weeks on the BFFM program I weighed 207 pounds @ 16.4%. I was commited to reaching my goal of single digit body fat!
From September through November of 2005 I tried to maintain my weight and not be so strict on my food. I'll admit it I was nervous to see if I would have to stay on this type of an eating plan for my entire life. I didn't have to!!! I had done the food ratios so much that I was able to eat using my head and not the computer program I wrote to balance the nutrions ratios. This also gave my skin some time to "CATCH UP" with all my weight loss. It seemed to work because I was much less strict with my diet and since I kept excercising and lifting weights I built muscle. It was fun to snob the people who though it would be impossible to maintan my weight.
This is the begining of what I call Session#2.
On December 1st 2005 I was at 212# at 14.6 % body fat. It felt great and I was able to run 20 miles without a problem but I still wasn't satisfied. So I went back to being more strict with my food but still not using the computer to track my food ratios just my progress. The results were AWESOME again!! I hit 197#-199# several times.
On 3/23/2006 I figured out that I was using the calipers wrong for almost a year. Boy, Did I feel STUPID? I was not reading the slider that stays when you release I was reading the arm itself. OH WELL. It just proves that it doesn't matter if your accurate it just matters that your consistant. So I decided to jump to the correct reading and the correct age line on the chart because I had turned 31 last May and I was still using the 30 year old scale (I was trying to be consistant from the start).
On 3/30/2006 I hit 200 # @ 7.67% Body fat!! Man it feels great. People keep asking my when I'm going to stop. I just tell them " When I can see all my abs!" or sometimes times I'll tel them "I'll let you know when I'm done."
Below are the staggering and amazing results I have achieved on the BFFM program. Please see the below charts and graphs of my progress as measured by Mike Ogorek on the Friday of each week. The far right point on each chart are my short term goals I have working to. These charts where not begun until BFFM so I have no accurate information before when I was at 333 pounds.
Week 18 - 196# - 6.45% Body fat 3/30/06
Week 0 - 212# - 14.6% body fat 12/1/06
2nd Session:
1st Session:



I have lost 30.05% body fat, 85 pounds of fat, and gained 7.46 pounds of muscle just since I have been tracking!! I look amazing compared to what I used to. I have many people everyday ask me what my secret is. I tell them the same thing….. I use Tom Venuto’s Burn the Fat Feed - Feed the Muscle program and it all boils down to ….How bad do you want it? Before March 1st 2005 I couldn’t have run to the refrigerator but now I can run 20 miles without a lot of difficulty. In my opinion there is no secret pill, there is no magic drink, there is no surgery that will make you lose fat and keep it off. You must change your lifestyle!!! If you want it bad enough it will happen and after a few weeks it will become easier by the day. After every compliment, and every time that stranger gives you an extra look or smile you will know that this is what you have always wanted to be. The is no better sense of accomplishment then the personal success you will achieve using Tom’s Burn the Fat -Feed the Muscle Program. By using his information there is nothing you can’t do in terms of your level of physical fitness. His book is the greatest tool I think you will ever find in your quest to become physically fit. The plan also allows you to customize the program to your own needs and goals. For those who want to lose a few pounds to the extreme like I was, it WILL help you.
Since about the 4 th week on this program I constantly get questioned and complimented on my change in my life. But it wasn’t easy to get started. I strongly suggest you complete the goal section of the BFFM program. Your food selection choices are endless and I want to tell you that I eat MORE food now than I have ever eaten before even when I was 333 pounds. I now know what the proper foods and nutrient levels I need for my body to react how ever I want it to. As you can see from the above charts I have had a few stumbling blocks and plateaus that I have had to break through and the BFFM program will give you the tools that you will need to break through your plateaus.
How bad do you want it?
I wanted it so bad I could taste it, feel it, see it, and believed it so much I took everything to the extreme. I wanted to be lean as quickly as possible. But I also have a beautiful wife and three wonderfull children that I adore with all my heart and I work 5-7 days a week, drive one hour to and from work, and help coach football and softball. If I can find the time that so can you. This program will not only help you reach your goals it teaches you how to live a healthy lifestyle!! You can achieve any goal weather it is a 150+ pound loss or just 10 pounds. Remember the magic pill, potion, drink, or surgery doesn’t exist that will KEEP the weight off. The decision is totally yours and you are 100% responsible for your actions and choices. Make them good ones!!
If you want it bad enough then please click the below link to open your opportunities to a new body and life through the BFFM program. Good luck and please feel free to email me your questions or concerns at mogorek@insightbb.com. I can’t say that I can speak for Tom in anyway but I am a successful student of his Burn the Fat - Feed the Muscle program.
Good Luck and Get MAD Fitness!

Mike & Dawn both fitting into Mike's old pants at the same time! 8/27/5
Below are the charts for when I started tracking for the 2nd time after a 3 month maintance period. At this point my main concern is Body Fat % not really my weight. This is what I call Session #2. Starting 12/1/06
ADDITIONAL NOTE: If your thinking what about my Cholesterol and Glucose? I can tell you mine was taken on 3/29/06 @ work and mine where as follows:
Total Cholesterol: 105mg/dl --- HDL-cholesterol: 42mg/dl -- Glucose: 108 mg/dl. -- I think you will find that these numbers are excellent.

To my wife Dawn:
To my beautiful and wonderful wife!!!
THANK YOU for not only all you have done to help my reach these goals but for loving me and marrying me when I was 300+ pounds. We have been married for ten plus years and look forward to another 50 years!!
As we say to the kids I LOVE YOU with all my HEART!
LOVE
MIKE
