Stop starting over every Monday and build a body you love
You've been trying to use a plan that wasn't built for your body. Let's build one that is.
I'm ready to stop starting over
You can start today. No restrictive dieting or GLP-1 meds necessary.
Even if you've already tried Weight Watchers, keto, and intermittent fasting, even if your days are already full, and even if you've decided you're "just not motivated enough."
When you join within 72 hours of the Stop Starting Over Class.
You might not believe this is possible. Yet.
It's the end of a long day. You've taken care of everybody else, you walk into the kitchen, and you feel the pull toward the pantry.
But this time you notice it.
You know you're about to eat because the day was hard, not because you're hungry. And you know that whatever is in your pantry isn't going to solve your problems.
Once you've acknowledged what's actually happening, you have the tools to address your emotions without eating them away.
So you make dinner, you eat it, and the night goes on. You don't obsess, you don't restrict yourself, and you no longer suffer your way to a body you like.
In other words?
You didn't overeat. You stayed in control all evening.
So the next morning, you get dressed without needing to hide a muffin top, love handles, a fupa, or whatever you call the extra weight that hangs over your pant line. You get to feel proud of the person you are.
I know this is possible because I've personally lived it. I struggled with feeling out of control around food for years. But once I figured out what was actually missing, I put myself back in control of my body. And now I get to watch my clients do the same.
Let me help you see exactly what's been missing.
If you're anything like the people I coach, you've probably said something like this:
"I know what worked before. I just can't make myself do it again. After the week I've had, I deserve this. I'll start tomorrow."
Maybe it's that 5 o'clock slog. You're in the kitchen making dinner, everyone needs something from you, you're hungry and overwhelmed, and you start snacking on the kids' leftover mac and cheese. Once you start eating the foods you think you "shouldn't," you can't stop. It makes you feel out of control around food.
Or it might be those hours after dinner. A glass of wine and a bag of chips in front of the TV is the one thing that makes you feel better, and meal prepping for tomorrow and going to the gym feel like way too much on top of everything you've done today.
You've said you'd work on your body once things slowed down. But your life never seems to slow down. In fact, things get faster and faster.
Here's the pattern you're stuck in:
You try to get back to the diet you used to lose weight last time: the foods, the routine, the person you were then. For a few days, that version of you shows up.
Then a hard day hits. "I deserve this. I'll start tomorrow." And tomorrow turns into next week.
So you go looking for the missing link. A new rule from a friend, a tip from Instagram, something someone at work swears by. It all gets added to the pile.
And you decide the problem is you. You're not motivated enough. You're not committed enough. You start to feel like you'll never be the person who has a body they like.
The truth: it's the same loop, over and over.
Every time feels like a fresh start, so you don't even see that you've been here before.
Most people, before they start working with me, don't even realize they're stuck in this dieting loop. They're trapped, and they don't even see it.
You've probably wondered if a GLP-1 is the only thing that'll work for you.
But here's what I want you to hear: being stuck in this loop means there's a way out. And just by reading this, you're actually closer to it!
Here's the first thing I want you to know:
The real reason you don't have the body you want is that you've been trying to use a plan that wasn't built for your life.
The diet that "worked" before was built for a younger you, with less on your plate. The secrets you collect were built for someone else's life. None of it was built for the life you're living right now.
And the life you're living right now takes a lot out of you. By the end of the day you've got nothing left. No energy to cook, no headspace to plan, no room to feel one more hard thing. So food becomes the fastest way to feel better.
I call what you have left your capacity: how much you have left to think, feel, and do.
Every plan you've tried has asked for more capacity than you had to give.
That's why it worked for a few days and then fell apart. And it's why a GLP-1 can quiet the hunger but still leave the reason you reach for the chips after a hard day.
Capacity is what's been missing. That's exactly what the ADD RESPECT Community is built around.
I know this pattern personally.
I struggled with my weight from high school on, and I dieted up and down from college on. After I bought my bakery, my weight kept climbing.
On May 26, 2023, I stepped on the scale and saw 252.2 pounds.
It felt like I had broken a promise to myself.
I decided to try one last time.
I did it the only way I knew how. I willed myself down to 1,300 calories a day, which was way too low for my body. What kept me going was watching the scale drop every morning.
I lost 60 pounds in about six months. But I lost muscle too, and I looked thinner than I wanted to, not stronger.
And the reason I'd gained the weight in the first place was never solved. I was over-functioning and didn't even know it.
So I hired my own coach. I learned the mental tools I'd never been given and became a certified life coach through The Life Coach School. I built my own formula from there (which became the ADD RESPECT Method), and spent the next couple of years building muscle on purpose.
As I kept going, I started helping other people do the same.
"Saying no stopped being hard."
One client I'll call Rebecca, a mom in her 50s, had always struggled with her weight. She was stuck eating protein peanut butter cups in a way that felt totally out of control.
For three weeks she came to our calls disappointed in herself.
So we created a program specifically built for her life.
Her emotional capacity grew. Saying no to the cups stopped being hard. She got more consistent with her plan, and she started finishing her workouts feeling good, not wiped out.
Earlier this year, after a couple of years of building muscle, I started my own 75-day challenge, HOT 75, at 239.8 pounds. For 75 days, I did the things I knew worked for my body. I lost 42 pounds with no medication.
It wasn't about restriction. It was me seeing what's possible with a life full of capacity, just for the fun of it, and it never felt hard.
My results are not typical. Individual results vary.
Here's what I want you to do instead:
Treat your body like a teammate: feed it, rest it, move it, and build a plan around the life you actually have. When your plan matches your life, you don't have to become someone else to create a body you love.
It doesn't take a perfect week or a cleared calendar to start. It takes $48 and about an hour a month.
And slipping up is part of it. Every slip shows you where your capacity ran out, and that's exactly where we work.
I do this with the ADD RESPECT Method. It helps you see what's really happening when you reach for food after a hard day, builds your capacity to think, feel, and do, and shapes a plan around the life you actually have. That's how the everyday habits that get you the body you want become easier and simpler.
You're a totally capable person, and there's no question you can have the body you want.
I know you can do this! You've just never had a plan built for you.
The ADD RESPECT Community
Coaching, a plan that fits your life, and people who get it, so you can stop starting over and build a body you love.
Inside, you'll be able to:
Your first week inside
The day you join, you'll log in, sign up for your first call, and start getting encouragement from the community right away. Your first coaching call is never more than a few days away. And if you joined within 72 hours, I'll reach out to schedule your Capacity Audit as soon as you're able, and we'll find exactly where your days are running out.
1. Live coaching sessions, with replays when you can't make it live
Multiple calls per week. Bring what's actually happening in your week and get coached on it. You can stay off camera, and plenty of members get just as much from watching someone else get coached.
2. On-demand training for what you're working through right now
Foundations & Capacity courses with 10-minute lessons you can do on your lunch break. Start the minute you join. If you get stuck on something, submit your question and I'll answer it within 48 hours.
3. Recipes and workouts for every capacity
High protein, high fiber, plant-based, and PCOS-friendly options. There's a variety of everything, so the workouts fit your schedule and your experience, and you're never guessing what to do next.
4. Calorie and macro tracker
Right on your phone. Scan a barcode or upload a recipe. It takes the guesswork out of what you're eating and shows you the truth in your own data.
5. Private community to get the support and encouragement you've been missing
Post your wins, ask your questions, and vent about the hard days with people who understand. Members cheer each other on, share what's working for them, and remind you that you're not doing this alone.
6. Bonus: 30-minute 1:1 Capacity Audit with Michael
Only when you join within 72 hours of the Stop Starting Over Class.
I'll reach out to schedule it as soon as you're able. Together we'll find exactly where your capacity is running out at the end of the day, so your first 30 days are built on a plan that fits your real life, without the fear of having to restart again in a month.
Total value: $640
My guarantee: Attend 4 live coaching calls and use the tracker in your first 30 days. If you don't feel more in control of your body than the day you started, email me and I'll refund your first month. No hoops.
"I had tried dieting. I had tried GLP-1 medication. Nothing stuck. The Add Respect Community was the first place I found real, lasting results."
"I am feeling proud of myself and sticking with it! Thank you for helping me and your ongoing support. Last week I tracked most of the days, and I think it made the difference for me. I will keep it up!"
Individual results vary.
What starting over is really costing you
Private coaching with me is $800 a month. Inside the community, you get multiple group coaching calls a week for $48 a month.
But the bigger cost was never the money.
The real cost is what you're missing out on every day you don't have a body you love.
It's the mornings you spend trying on outfit after outfit, trying to hide what you look like. It's hating every trip to the store because nothing you like looks good on you.
It's years of pictures you're not in. The family, the friends, the views. But no memories of you.
It's a pantry full of health food you don't like, a shelf of books you never read, and a phone full of saved posts from people who swear they found the secret.
You've already paid for starting over, again and again. This is the support you never had.
Now imagine the next picture. You're in it. And you're not thinking about how you look, because you're too busy enjoying the moment.
How much time it takes
Setup: none. You're inside within minutes, and there's content to start on right away.
Calls: 60 minutes each, and you can stay off camera. Don't worry if you can't join live, all calls are available as replays.
Your next call: never more than a few days away.
✦ This is for you if:
- You're the one everyone relies on, and there just isn't time for a diet with everything you "have" to do
- You've lost weight before but always ended up back where you started
- You keep trying to get back to the way you did it last time, and it never sticks
- You're tired of white-knuckling through another diet
- You're ready to show up: to the calls, the community, and yourself
This isn't for you if:
- You want a meal plan handed to you and nothing else
- You'd rather keep searching for the next secret than look at what's really going on
- You want to lose weight fast and don't care whether it lasts
- You're not ready to make yourself a priority yet (and that's okay, I'll be here when you are)
"What I like about this program is that it doesn't try to sell you crazy products or make you completely change your lifestyle. You don't have to stop eating the foods you enjoy or follow some extreme diet. Instead, it helps you become more aware of what you're eating, understand the benefits and downsides of your choices, and learn how to make better decisions for yourself."
Got questions?
Will this work for me?
If you're the one everyone relies on and you keep losing the same weight, this was built for you. It isn't just for moms, and it isn't just for women. Over-functioners are everywhere.
I don't really know what to do. Is this still for me?
Yes. The recipes, workouts, and tracker handle the "what." The coaching is what makes it stick.
I already know what to do. Why would I need this?
Because knowing was never the problem. You've been trying to use a plan that wasn't built for your body. We build one that is, along with the capacity to keep following it.
Is this just another diet?
No. There's no restrictive dieting here, and no list of rules to add to the pile. Other programs hand you a plan and expect you to become someone else. This one starts with the life you actually have.
Should I just use a GLP-1?
GLP-1s can be part of anyone's plan, and if you're using one, you're welcome here. But a GLP-1 changes your hunger signals. The work we do changes how you think and feel, and those skills carry into the rest of your life too.
I've tried everything and nothing worked.
That's exactly who this is for. If plans worked for a while but never lasted, the plan was never the problem. And neither were you.
I'm not motivated or committed enough.
It's not your fault. You were never unmotivated, and you don't need to be more committed. You've just been using a plan built for someone else's life.
Do I have to be on camera for the calls?
No. You can stay off camera, and plenty of members get as much from watching others get coached.
What if I can't make a call?
Replays are available, so you can catch up whenever it fits your day.
Are there any extra costs?
No. Coaching, courses, recipes, workouts, the tracker, and the community are all included in your membership.
Why is it $48 instead of $95?
Because I don't want money to be the reason you say no to yourself again.
You've spent years telling yourself "not right now." If you came to the Stop Starting Over Class, you already said yes to yourself once. I want the next yes to be a no-brainer.
So when you join within 72 hours of the Stop Starting Over Class, it's $48/month instead of $95, and that price stays yours for as long as you're a member.
After 72 hours, it goes back to $95/month and the Capacity Audit goes away. That's not to pressure you. This price is my thank-you to the people who showed up.
What if it's not for me?
Attend 4 live coaching calls and use the tracker in your first 30 days. If you don't feel more in control of your body than the day you started, email me at [email protected] and I'll refund your first month. No hoops.
And you can cancel anytime. There are no contracts.
How do I cancel?
You can cancel on your own anytime, or just email me at [email protected] and I'll take care of it. No contracts, no hoops.
What if I'm on medication or have a health condition?
You're welcome here. Check with your doctor before you change how you eat or move, and bring what they tell you to the calls. We'll build your plan around it.
Who do I contact with questions?
Email me at [email protected].
From my coaching clients:
"I feel much stronger than before, my clothes fit better or some pieces are even big on me now and need a belt. I do not feel like I need to go take a nap right after I finish my lunch. Much better mood as well."
"When there's a problem or something you're struggling with, the coach helps you figure out how to solve it instead of just telling you what you can and can't eat. It's more about learning how to make better choices in real life and building habits you can actually stick with."
"I've tried several diets and programs such as Weight Watchers, keto, and intermittent fasting. This experience was different because I had Michael as a coach to answer my questions and encourage me. He also didn't limit topics to just food, macros, or exercise. It's more of a mindset approach to overall wellbeing."
