G’day Shredders,
NOTE: The last week has been completely off the Richter with the NYC Shredder Summit and the RTP Transformation Contest Event Day! I will be back-posting tons of awesome pictures and videos from these amazing 3 days over the next 24 hours. The sheer number of videos and pics we have is simply staggering, it numbers in the 10′s of Gigabytes!
In addition I will soon have in my possession the official Pro Pics for the Winners of the RTP TRansformation Contest 2009, along with the official video of the Champion’s workout with Tom Venuto and myself. Stay tuned!
===============================================
Today’s Post is specifically for August 8, 2009.
Wow! What a day! Today was completely off the Richter in every possible way! On this day, August 8, 2009 the winners of the RTP Transformation Contest 2009 received their Mega Prize Package and Itinerary!
Announcing The RTP Grand Champions 2009 and 120 Missions Successfully Completed!
In the last 24 hours 120 Shredders officially declared “Mission Accomplished” on their 12-Week Shred, 20 Contest Finalists were recognized for their outstanding achievements, and two amazing Shredders were announced as the winners of the World’s First Real Time Accountability Body Transformation Challenge!
As you can see from the new Shredder Hall of Fame on our home page this Global Shred Mission has been a massive success. Shredders from all walks of life across 28 countries joined together in common cause and shredded their way to a total mind, body and life transformation! And not only that, we have formed bonds and friendships that in many cases will last a lifetime, the support inside the ShredderSphere has quite literally been off the Richter, and I thank each Shredder for making the Sphere a unique place where people can make their dreams a reality.
I would also like to thank my mentors Carlos DeJesus and Tom Venuto for making this Global Shred Mission possible, helping massively behind the scenes dispensing your words of wisdom, inside the Sphere giving advice and encouragement to our fellow Shredders, and also for your very professional, deliberative and thorough judging for the Contest over a 48-hour time period . Without your mentorship and guidance this would not have become a reality. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you Mike Groom and ShredderSteve for your massive help with ShredderSphere Tech Support and Sphere design. Thank you for your expertise in running the Sphere, without your support the Sphere and all the cool new additions would not exist.
And finally, I would like to thank each and every Shredder who took part in this first of it’s kind Contest, you have collectively redefined the meaning of support, encouragement and real time accountability over the last 12 weeks! As you know the Contest itself was a way in which you could harness an external motivator and add it to your stack of PRW’s, and I am so pleased to see that this worked so well for so many people, and with an amazingly high follow through rate, the likes of which have never been seen before in the self-development space.
So, without further adeiu, it gives me great pleasure to bring to you the official Winners in the RTP Transformation Contest 2009, Dean Thesinger from Africa and Elaine Morales from the USA!
Congratulations Dean and Elaine for not only massively transforming your physique, but also for proving once and for all that losing fat and gaining muscle is achievable over the term of a 12 week Mission.

“RTP Will Change Your Mind, Body and Life”
“The RTP System has my best vote for a body transformation system which gets excellent results.When I started RTP I was skeptical and not sure if this System was going to transform my body as I have tried so many times before and failed only to gain more fat and weight back.
What is so wonderful about this RTP system is it’s ability to motivate you from within by first getting your mind and attitude right and then it proceeds to hold you accountable everyday in every way.
I have managed to make an amazing transformation by keeping it simple and following the massive action steps which RTP teaches you.
My self-confidence has soared and I now live a wonderful healthy lifestyle and I love my life and myself. The RTP System provides a wonderful support structure through the ShredderSphere Support Community and keeps you motivated throughout your transformation.
The more effort you put into it the greater your reward after the 84 initial days. The RTP System focuses on results and gets them effortlessly. The process is fun and very informative and guaranteed to succeed.
RTP will change your mind, body and life and exceed your wildest expectations. You will feel great and look wonderful and hear all sorts of people complimenting you on your great new looks.
Go for it now!! ”

“Adam, You Provide All The Tools, You Spell It Out”
“Well, you’ve read my story, you know how I’ve worked the program, what my results were, and how thrilled I am. I wanted to also take the opportunity to reflect a bit on the RTP System. Why did it work for me? I am in the best shape of my WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE! How can this be?
Even before discovering and purchasing RTP, I KNEW what to do to get in the best shape of my life, but I NEVER applied this knowledge. Adam, your program offers something VASTLY different. You don’t just talk about visualization and goal-setting, you show us how and keep us accountable. You put equal emphasis on the mental and emotional work and transformation as you do the physical.
And – you provide all the tools! You spell it out. The training and nutrition is idiot-proof! I was forced to up the intensity of every workout in a way I have never experienced before. The training and nutrition logs were invaluable. The accountability log and daily blogs are totally unique. And key to the success of this program.
I was very skeptical about the Shreddersphere. I am an introvert and a private person. I have never blogged, posted to a public discussion board, nor participated in any online community (except Facebook) before. But you have developed something special here. The tone here is so positive and supportive. Having a closed community makes it safe – don’t need any near-naked pics of me circulating at the office!
Yes, it takes massive effort. RTP is NOT a quick fix. It is NOT easy. But you have provided step-by-step instructions on how to work it. I didn’t have to think, just do. AND, your sincere and encouraging presence is most welcomed. I have perceived you as a role model and mentor, someone who has been there like the rest of us.
So, thank you, from the bottom from my heart. I am thrilled to be a part of this community and hope I can give back even a fraction of what I have gained from it.”
With warm wishes,
Elaine Morales,
Jersey Shore, U.S.A.

G’day Shredders,
Chillin’ With Shredder Doug In Muscle Beach!
Today something else very cool happened, I got to meet up with a fellow Shredder in L.A., the one and only Doug from Doug’s Daily Delta!
*Check Out Doug’s Awesome Body Transformation On RTP Below!
Doug and I had a great time cruising over to Venice Beach in Santa Monica, and seeing up close the world-famous Muscle Beach where Arnie and Franco used to work out!
Here is a pic below (Doug has pictures on his camera with the both of us so maybe Doug will upload one of these tomorrow). I also gotta say that Doug is a great Shredder, and a gentleman. We hit it off from the word go and discussed all things Sphere, it was very cool as we both knew you guys by your first names!
And also, Doug’s arms are just as impressive in person as they are on film! Doug is a committed Shredder who has gotten massive results since November 8, 2008 and I look forward to seeing Doug blow M2 outta the water!
Thanks again Doug for an awesome afternoon mate, you are a champion Shredder and a great bloke!
From Muscle Beach, in front of gym. You can see Doug’s shadow taking the picture!
A Little Bit Of Hollywood!
Earlier in the day I also got a ride up on Mulholland Dr. in the Hollywood Hills and caught a glimpse of the Hollywood sign and snapped a pic overlooking the greater Los Angeles area. You can see these pics below.

“RTP & The ShredderSphere Helped Me Transform My Life” by Eric
The RTP Transformation System and the ShredderSphere community have helped me to change my life! I was overweight, having health issues, and really wondering how to turn things around. I received an email from Tom Venuto about the program and as soon as I started reading the material, I knew this was the path that would take me where I needed to go.
The RTP Transformation System is a well thought-out, proven system combining a 12-week physical training regimen, a nutrition plan that supports the high level of physical work being done, and a powerful mental training system to help discover and address those mental blocks that can so easily derail your efforts.
The ShredderSphere community is an AMAZING group of people who support, encourage, and help each member as they pursue their Missions. Accountability is the total key for me and this community and the accountability system has been very foundational in my success.
In my first 12 weeks, I lost 43 lbs of fat and my BF% went from 34% to 23%. I am very pleased with these results and look forward to starting my second mission soon.
I love being a part of this community and helping others achieve their goals, building friendships, and watching people make amazing changes in their lives! These are real people working together to reclaim their health and build new lives. I’m very happy to have found this place, and am grateful to Adam Waters and his dedication to his own health, the RTP system he has built, and the community he has helped bring together.
Thanks to Adam, my shredder teammates and friends, and this system, I have a new, healthier lifestyle and am in the best shape of my life. And this is just the beginning!
Eric Dalkenberg.
Personal Note: I am leaving For the USA tomorrow, so the next time you hear from me I’ll be blogging live from L.A.!

Sarah – 84 Day Results on RTP
“On the 19 April 2009 I received an email from Tom Venuto that set me on a path that has dramatically changed my life.
The email led me to Adam Waters’ astonishing ’84 days in 48 seconds’ transformation video, his blog and the RTP Transformation System. I had lost who I was and felt like I was slowly dying inside.
Adam and Tom combined in that email and blog were the life belt that stopped me from going under. Maybe that sounds a little dramatic to you but I can assure you that is how bleak things felt. That life belt has allowed me to rediscover my self-confidence and I believe in myself again.
I’m in control of my life and am no longer the sad fat girl I was when I got started – I am a completely different person both on the outside AND the inside!
Dealing with the mental and emotional elements, alongside the physical and nutritional, and combining them with the power of online accountability, support and friendship from others who are following the same program, Adam has created something very special – EVERYTHING you need for a successful and true transformation.
The only reason you won’t transform your body with RTP is because you decided not to do it! Adam, I set out purely looking to change my physical appearance and when I bought RTP I had no idea that I was going to get so much more than I bargained for!
I will always be indebted to you and can’t thank you enough for your continued support and commitment.
Warmest regards,
Sarah Kensington,
Northamptonshire, United Kingdom”

Earl – 84 Day Results on RTP
“RTP Gave Me The Tools To Succeed” by Earl Bloom
This first Mission challenged me both Physically and Emotionally. While I initially thought I would be able to focus all of my efforts on the nutrition and exercise, it turned out that my mindset was the most important change for me… and starting Day 30, it all started to click…
It was like the cloud in my eyes (and mind!) cleared and everything started to make a whole lot of sense. The progress, while slow at first, started to accelerate, which further increased my confidence in the RTP System. All of a sudden, Daily Compliance was no longer feared, but instead, I looked forward to following the direction provided in each Module to the letter.
Coupled with the support and accountability provided within the Shreddersphere, the pieces of my life puzzle started to fit together, one piece at a time… each and every day. Who would have imagined the power of hundreds of fellow Shredders (aka Shriends) all around the world cheering you on and supporting you every step of the way! And with the tools available to track my progress and keep me accountable, I simply had no excuse but to succeed!!!
And so I did… *BEYOND EVEN MY “OVER-ACHIEVER” EXPECTATIONS!! *All I can say is thanks for providing me with the opportunity to take my life in a far better (and healthier) direction! I look forward to remaining a pillar of this fine community in hopes of influencing and encouraging others towards this euphoric / “beyond” the zone feeling I now enjoy!
Many of my inner changes revolved around my entrenched mindset, was it too late to change? No. I learned that I was still a warrior at heart, and that RTP could provide an excellent set of buttons, but that I had to push them. Now go and push your own!
Earl Bloom,
Michigan, USA
Stay tuned for the next featured “RTP Transformer” tomorrow, you’ll be blown away by her story of transformation (and her after pictures!)
Until tomorrow…

Judith – 84 Day Results on RTP
“RTP Is A Lifestyle Change” by Judith
Well this all started with a bit of luck, I found a letter from Tom Venuto in my SPAM folder! I’m still not sure what it was doing in there.
I read about a Real Time Transformation Program (RTP) pioneered by Adam Waters, using the principles of BFFM (Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle). I was immediately intrigued, and wanted to know more. After a short spell of inner doubt, a day of arguing with myself about my lack of motivation, possible waste of money etc, I took the plunge and bought the e-book. I must say that decision was the best thing that I have ever done for myself! If you are reading this and debating whether to buy or not, just do it! I lost over 19 lbs of fat and 3 dress sizes in 12 weeks, if I a middle aged woman can do this, so can you!
It is funny, back then, I had little use for a forum, the Sphere (or so I thought), taking daily photos? What a bind! Visualisations – New Age mumbo jumbo! *I was wrong*.
*These tools turned out to be the most powerful set of positive motivators that I believe you can find anywhere!* Why?
*The Sphere*: Fellow Shredders and friends can motivate you in any way that you can imagine from gentle encouragement, to the kick butt mentality of Black Ops, there is a support type that will work for you and they are international, there is always someone there. Don’t think that there are only Shredders on there either, you’ll also find Adam, Tom, Carlos, and Marc. Reach out and contact them, ask for help and support when you need it, you are not alone.
*The Photos*: They soon became a mental focus for food naughtiness. If I eat that, I will look really bad tomorrow! Each week I’d add an album cover with my Day 1 photo and the first photo of the new week, side by side comparison shots. Suddenly I could see movement, it was working!
*Visualisation and Mental Focus:* My PRWs were always a little weak, but I found that as I progressed through RTP, I could fine tune them to work for me.
Placing a copy of my future body with my list of intentions around the house really worked (kitchen, toilet, bathroom, computer desk) each time I walked passed the lists I would say them aloud and focus on my new body. I used http://www.faceinhole.com to help with the photo.
I got to thinking that if visualization worked then maybe hypnosis did too. I bought an MP3 on Bodybuilding Hypnosis, which I am certain effected my lifts.
At first I found the cardio hard, by nature I am a gym rat, but kept on going and soon found that I was enjoying the HIIT sessions, that in itself is amazing! Each time I kept pushing, just a little faster, or just a higher incline, always upping the intensity in small steps. By the end my treadmill ran out of inclines!
I also found something else that I didn’t expect, that when you mix the Bodybuilding exercises of RTP with the Power lifting ones on my schedule, you get the best of both worlds. For me I broke through my bench press plateau of 140 lbs, and rocketed to a two rep max of 240 lbs, totally awesome.
My biggest tips to you?
No Excuses.
Eat clean, real food.
Cook.
Keep a food log of everything that you eat.
Do cardio you love.
Lift as heavy as you can.
Always do the best that you can.
Enjoy yourself, don’t fight the changes in lifestyle, *this is not a diet*, but a lifestyle change.
Judith M.
Many of my inner changes revolved around my entrenched mindset, was it too late to change? No. I learned that I was still a warrior at heart, and that RTP could provide an excellent set of buttons, but that I had to push them. Now go and push your own!
Stay tuned for the next featured “RTP Transformer” tomorrow, you’ll be blown away by her story of transformation (and her after pictures!)

Chris Bowen – 84 Day Results on RTP
“RTP Taught Me How To Transform My Mind and Body!” by Chris
Over the past 2 or 3 years I have been depressed. In 2005 I changed jobs from a job I had put my heart and sole into, to a job which paid better money, had better benefits but was very unfulfilling. I have been working a very high stress job, as a yardmaster, taking care of a small farm at home, and never giving myself any time. I had become a couch potato, 258 lbs, with no ambition or drive to get out and live life!!
In November 2008 I made the decision to take my life back. I started studying nutrition and fat loss. I started going to the gym and going through the motions of my basically worthless workout plan. I was hitting the cardio hard, for me, and lifting with around a 50% intensity level.
I was trying to follow some good eating habits and I did lose a few pounds. January 2009, I am determined to change my life. I started doing longer sessions of cardio. I still really don’t have a workout plan so my main focus is on burning calories off with cardio. I made it through a 12 week BFL style program and I was getting some results but I wanted more, much more.
One morning I opened up an email from the BFFM news letter. In it I found the RTP system and was introduced to the RTP contest. I read through the material on the RTP page and thought to myself this is just someone else trying to get some of my money. I wanted to spend the money but was reluctant for a few days. I then decided to give it a try. It seemed legitimate and Adam Waters had done a very good job presenting his program in an honest and forthcoming way. He had Tom Venuto signing off on the program so I took the plunge. I purchased the program and was signed up for the RTP transformation contest.
The RTP program taught me the battle to change my life and transform my body was taking place in my mind! Knowing what to do and actually doing it was where I was falling short. I was pumped.
I had never thought about body transformation like this before. In Tom Venuto’s BFFM e-book I was introduced but it never really caught fire. When I actually put my powerful reasons why, (PRW) on paper and took the time to really think about why I had to change the fire was lit. I was driven to change my life. I was no more going to sit on the couch thinking about all I was missing out on because I had no drive to get up and go get it. I want to be a good example for my kids, of how hard work pays off and I want to have confidence at work. I want to get through the stressful situations, making good sound decisions and help the Rail Road run smoother. I want to have energy at the end of my day to spend quality time with the ones I love in my life.
Most importantly I want to be healthy so I can retire in 15 years with health and vitality so I can see the world. I want to live long enough to get back the money I have paid in for a quality life after I retire.
So I figured out nothing changes, if nothing changes, the same old output gets the same old results. My goal to win this contest and to go shake the hands and personally thank both Adam and Tom in NYC drove me through mission 1. I pushed myself to new levels of training knowing there was someone else who trying to work harder than me so I had to increase my intensity! No one was going to work harder than me!
One of the critical elements of my transformation was to hold myself accountable. Putting it out there for the world to see is a powerful driver, of discipline.
I added a form of accountability by sharing my goals with a friend. If they witnessed me cheating or not making progress the questions came out and answers had to come forth. It is easier to stick to the goal than tell people why you failed!
Food has been a big problem for me in my weight control failure of the past. Gaining knowledge in calorie deficit and controlling the amount of calories was critical to my transformation. Good food in Big results out!! Or as Tom Venuto puts it Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle. The daily accountability logs help make the planning process of eating a snap. Feeding my body fuel rather than eating something because it looks or smells good has been a welcome change.
Having a training program all printed out on paper each day has been one of the best parts of the RTP system for me. I have been able to track my progression through mission 1. I never spend time wondering what I am going to do just go in and get it done. The workout can be as hard or as easy as you make them. I have put a lot into them and I got a lot of sweat out of them. Nearly every training session I did, I went home soaking wet with sweat. Part of my daily routine was a 25 minute cardio warm up before lifting. The RTP training program rocks. It changes up daily to keep things fresh and keep the muscles working hard.
My transformation is not complete. I have not seen the six pack of abs and I am going to get my body fat % to at least 9.9%. From there I will find a good healthy state and live my life healthy and happy. I am full of confidence, love, energy and I know I can achieve whatever I set out to do. My body has not felt this good since I got out of basic training when I was 18 years old. Rtp is a tool I will use to keep my health in good condition for years to come. I am very thankful to have had the opportunity of utilizing RTP to change my life for the better.
With the RTP lifestyle I have noticed I have more confidence. People at work treat me different. They are friendlier, and more willing to do what I tell them needs to be done. I have noticed that my new confidence has even changed the way I communicate with the upper level managers. We now have conversation and trouble shoot together rather than the calls filled with stress and one way communication. I love my new life. I love my family, who has supported me throughout my transformation. The pictures are worth more than words. I have made some serious progress toward my goal of 9.9% body fat. Measurements and scale weight are good motivation but not, in my mind, anything to brag about. My clothes are smaller, my heart is bigger, my lungs and muscle are much stronger, and life is great.
If anyone is looking for a serious way to change their life for the better, I would definitely recommend the RTP life style. The support and tools in the sphere are incredible. The people in the sphere are all people walking down the same path. Very positive things come from people when they are seeing positive results.
I am very grateful to be a part of something so good. Lives are changing, you should come join us and share your positive energy, ideas, and friendship.
Chris Bowen.

Jennifer (TX Belger) – 84 Day Results on RTP
“I Am On A Crazy Happy High!” by Jennifer
My biggest problem was food and emotional eating. I have worked out with intensity on a daily basis for at least 3-4 years, but when night time would roll around and I got bored, I could easily down an entire box of cereal in on sitting. I would secretly sneak into the kitchen when my family was watching TV, and shove down cookies that my husband bought. I bought my daughter her own refrigerator so she could keep “dangerous foods” out of my reach. I would tell my husband not to bring sweets into the house. I broke down crying one day, telling my husband I could not control myself- if it was there, I would eat it.
By some twist of fate, I got the email from Tom about RTP during April. I had seen the 60 second transformation Adam posted online about a year before, and remember thinking- “wow”. It was the contest though, that little competitive/goal I needed that got me up off my keester though. At the time, I didn’t know if I would do the competition, but I saw the program was “money back guarantee”, so I thought, what do I have to loose?
Something happened though, a goal was placed, a reason to push, something magic was turned on in my head, and I was reading as much of the modules as I could so I could start quicker!
“May-Day”, as I like to call it (May 1, 2009), was my start date. I liked having the structure, the itinerary, the daily goal to complete.
The sphere was completely new to me. To this point throughout my life, I have been a loner. Don’t ask for help- do it yourself; don’t depend on anyone but yourself, etc. I always worked out alone, shopped alone, heck, I even would go out to eat alone if I felt like a certain meal. The immediate support that I started receiving on the Sphere was overwhelming. Someone always turned a self-deprecating comment I would make about myself, into a positive thing, or an encouragement.
My ideas and thoughts started to change, and I started to feel like part of the community. It was not until around phase 2 that I formed some really close shriend-ships with a few Shredders, and this has made a daily difference in my outlook, both supporting them, and receiving support from them. Posting the daily photo was embarrassing in the beginning; of course, I was ashamed of my body. But as my transformation began, I started doing side-by-side photos of day 1 and current day.
This was a daily reminder and inspiration for me. I could SEE the difference, the progress, the hard work. It encouraged me to do more, to push myself and to succeed.
I have always been a “Type-A” personality, “all or nothing”, so the transition was not as difficult for me as it was for some. I had done BFFM before, and had all my food and weight logs from that time on Excel. I pulled them up and made my meal plans and calculated calorie requirements from my old file. Having a menu laid out made things simple, no room for mistakes, no “not knowing how much I am eating”. In the beginning, I had a few bites of this or that, but never strayed from the “plan”.
I took every instruction to the extreme and then added to it. No days off, no cheat meals (aside from one on Mother’s Day that I regretted). Cardio every day, and for as long as I could go. As much weight as I could hold in my hands, grunting, pushing and nearly crying in exhaustion many times.
Phase 3 brought a new intensity. I achieved my goals, and was as lean and light as my 2006 motivation photo. I was more defined though, because before, I did not follow a weight program, I just messed around with what I wanted to. My muscles, vascularity and strength were amazing even to myself. I started 2-a-day workouts for the final push, but also increase my daily caloric intake to offset the added expenditure. I experimented with a few things to see how they would affect my results: cutting out refeeds (didn’t work, but I was not tempted or afraid I would go on a binged, it just didn’t produce significant improvement in weekly stats).
My entire view of food has changed. It is no longer a pleasure or comfort principle, it is “fuel” only. I don’t care how it tastes, all I care about it the ingredients and macro-nutrients. I am no longer tempted by snacks in the house- there is a full jar of JIFF peanut butter (a prior binge-fest) in the pantry, and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Like Tom says, “Nothing tastes as good as being lean feels”.
My moods and energy levels have also changed significantly. I am always (99.9% of the time) on a crazy happy-high…so much energy, so much happiness within. I am proud of myself, not ashamed. I enjoy the accolades that people are continuously giving me now. It’s a testament to my hard work, and I eat it up!

“My Best Shape In 30 Years” by Dennis
I lost a lot of weight on my own by doing the 3 things exercise, cardio, and nutrition before finding RTP TS system was kind of happy at my lose but knew that I need some help. Then I found by accident the Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle E-Book by Tom Venuto on the Internet, read it from cover to cover and was just starting to get organized on my plan of attack when I got an e-mail from Tom about this world wide real time physique transformation contest.
It was the RTP TS System by Adam Waters so I read the overview and seemed to fit what I was looking for. So I went ahead and downloaded the system, boy was I surprise at what I received, everything was laid out for me. Read it, laid out my plan set a date to start, and got to it.
I thought that I could it by myself boy was I wrong, that what the Shredder Sphere was all about support, accountability, training programs and information. Adam and all the other Shredders were there to help. It helped me get in the best shape I been in 30 some years. Got rid of a lot of body fat and added lean body muscle.
Now at the age of 54 I have a healthier and more fit life, was able to set my personal best on weightlifting, and able to do 100 miles Bike rides on weekends. It feels great to be able to be active! I even got my wife to join, she was a very big help to me also, plus she was able to also able to lose body fat and add muscle mass . The RTP has it all, helps you lose fat, gain muscle, learn proper nutrition, accountability, plus motivation and support. Just wish that I would have found it sooner.
7 lbs and 7% body fat are gone!
Looking forward to doing RTP Muscle for my Mission 2 and RTP Turbo for Mission 3.
Thanks Adam

“RTP Gave Me A Plan” by Vanessa
The RTP Modules gave me the tools to create a plan for a healthy lifestyle. The detailed instruction found in the Modules included daily exercise plans and nutrition outlines which allowed weekly reward meals. The reward meals made it easier to incorporate this healthier way of eating into a permanent lifestyle change.
The Modules provide all of the information you need to make a dramatic body transformation; however, without the support of my friends in the ‘sphere’, it would have been an impossible journey for me. I had to post photos and blog daily which kept me on track to reach my goals. The accountability factor makes all of the difference. I have made many new friends on ShredderSphere.com; people from all over the globe who have gathered together to support each other with humor, friendship and encouragement.
Spending 12 weeks in this on-line community has made me a better person inside and out. I have transformed my body which has given me inner strength, self confidence and happiness. The friendships I have made will continue to grow as we set new goals and help each other achieve them.

Micheal Cowper – 84 Day Results on RTP
“Redemption” by Michael Cowper
First of all I should mention that I’m 60 years old, I’ll be 61 in just a few weeks. One thing I can say after all these years is that life is a roller coaster. Not very profound I know, but I knew I was at one of the low spots on the ride when I first heard about Adam Water’s RTP Transformation System.
I’m actually more than a bit embarrassed when I describe the person I was before I started this program only 12 weeks ago. I mean I’ve always been blessed with a strong healthy body and I’m intelligent enough to know that letting oneself get that out of shape and overweight was a sure fire way to end up with a progressively unhealthy, unhappy life. But intelligence has little to do with attitude and I had let myself slump into a depression, a state of withdrawal and isolation, and increasing lethargy. I had become a recluse. These kinds of doldrums are very dangerous at my age.
I was not getting pleasure from activities that were once passions, golf being a best example. I had gone from a serious competitor to not entering a tournament in three years, and my game had seriously deserted me.
I have worked as a Project Manager on large government projects for 23 years, a job I love, but the nature of the job is to take on the stress of the project, and it had slowly ground me down. I was the classic example of the modern warrior, stressed up and ready to do battle every day, but never getting to fight, (although some of the Contractors have been more than willing, lol).
All of this had led me to actually go to my Doctor to see if I was clinically depressed. He was obviously concerned with my weight and my demeanour, but after some tests, including a written one, he concluded that I was much too cheerful to be depressed, but he did declare me to be seriously burnt out. He suggested a slow approach to getting back into things. I never bought in.
A few years ago I discovered Tom Venuto and his ebook, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (BFFM). Tom has a no nonsense approach to fat loss, there are no shortcuts, it is hard work. Take in less calories than your body needs. If you don’t weigh your food how can you know how many calories you’re taking in, if you don’t know how many calories you need how can you expect to control your weight loss? I had used the BFFM to do a successful weight loss only a few years ago. I am a firm adherent of the BFFM.. So much so that I turned my daughter Robyn on to it, and made her buy her own copy.
Just last year I was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma, a type of benign brain tumor. This tumor very slowly grows around the acoustic nerve, it can reach baseball size, causing hearing loss, balance issues, facial paralysis, seizures, and eventually death. It has to be treated. I had to go to Calgary at the end of this past April for an MIR and meeting with a neurosurgeon. After the tests I phoned my daughter and told her that I hoped any upcoming treatment didn’t knock me down for a long time. With me being already way out of shape a long convalescence could be disastrous.
I then traveled from Calgary to Toronto to help my Mother move into an old folks home. She had just had a stroke. While I was there Robyn called and said that she had just received an email from Tom Venuto’s website notifying her of an upcoming transformation contest in association with Adam Waters. Anything that had Tom’s endorsement would be good. Robyn entered us both. The contest was to start two days after I got back to Whitehorse.
Boy, talk about not being prepared. I even had to buy a camera and learn how to use it and download pictures. When I first went on the RTP Shreddersphere website I was amazed at the wealth of information there. Not just nutritional information (based on BFFM), but modules with a complete daily exercise plan, cardio plan, abdominal exercise plan, all with varied exercises, and progressive stages. What was most intriguing was the accountability system, we all had to post a digital photo of ourselves every day! And write about it in a blog. The thought of posting pictures of our bloated, and in my case, hairy, half naked bodies was a little scary, and writing in a blog? How were we to know how much fun this really was going to become and how the daily blogs and comments between bloggers was going to lead to a huge supporting community. And I don’t think any of us realized just how addictive this whole thing was, we would end up moving houses rather than miss a daily posting.
There was one more part of this whole extremely well thought out program that Adam had included, and that was what he called the Powerful Reasons Why. As part of the visualization and motivational part of the program each person had to seriously assess his or her predicament and list the reasons for wanting to change and the goals they wanted to reach and write them down. These PRWs became powerful motivators from the outset, and even more, they became something we could all rely on as we went through the hard times that will come with any program lasting 3 months. I think the idea of PRW was the thing that grabbed me as impressively different from the start. We all used them all through the program I am sure, long after the great workouts started becoming more and more of a pleasure, instead of torture..
Having a program has always been necessary for me, I need the imposed discipline. To have a program with every day’s exercises prepared on a sheet of paper that could be used to record weights, reps, sets, etc. was a real pleasure and very productive. Plus the program was phased in 3 one month efforts, RTP base training, strength training, and circuit training. Even at my age I managed to gain muscle during the strength training, much to my surprise. The circuit training usually ended up with me being completely soaked in sweat, and panting. I enjoyed the entire 3 month journey, even my first month where there was bit of bumbling around.
One suggestion I would make to anyone, keep your caloric deficits small. I started out at a 20% caloric deficit, about 500 calories, but with a missed meal here and there I would end up considerably less. My weight loss started out great but slowly decreased over a few weeks. Once I increased my calories and diligently kept them higher I lost more weight, my metabolism increased, and I even gained a bit of muscle. I began the program at 226.5 lbs and 24.9% body fat, and ended up at 207.4 lbs and 17.5% body fat, losing 20 lbs of fat. The one stat I am most pleased with was the measurement around my middle, at the belly button. It started out at 45 inches and ended up at 39 inches. I was so glad to see that embarassing beach ball deflate.
The trials I went through on this program were nothing compared to my daughter’s, with two babies, a fairly new relationship, a brand new house, back to work after a year, then plagues of daycare born diseases, starting an online Masters course, etc. I am so proud of her that she finished the whole thing with great results of her own. Her face is just shining these days. She was the one that got me into this program so I would like to think that in return I was an important supportive force during her program, she says I was, but she had so many members of the Shreddersphere encouraging her every day. So did I. I received much more support than I gave, perhaps a little more confidence might improve that. I am so grateful to all of the really caring support I received.
I would like to thank Adam for such a complete enjoyable program, and a program that not only produces great results, but teaches good habits and valuable information that one can use for a lifetime, even if you’re starting at 60. And I would like to thank Adam for his constant involvement, just when you had doubts about it all he seemed to pop into my blog with an encouraging word, and if you had a good week, or a even a good workout he always seemed to show up with a congratulation. I think every member of the Sphere can say the same thing.
How have things changed for me since I started this program? Let’s see, I started on May 4, 2009, on July 3, 2009 I retired from my job of 23 years. One week later I had formed a private company and took on a 3 year contract to manage the construction of two new hospitals, and a medical services centre/residence. Oh yes, and on July 18 I entered the Yukon Territorial 36-hole Golf Championship and loved every minute of it. I wish I could say that I won the senior divison but I was a lot stronger so I could say I hit some of those balls really far into the woods, heh. Golf practice will be part of Mission 2, which Robyn and I start together next Monday, this time with her boyfriend, Jeremy. It’ll be so much fun.

120 Shred Missions Accomplished Using RTP Inside The ShredderSphere !
Over the last week I have been consumed with witnessing in real time the amazing transformations taking place inside the ShredderSphere as more than 120 Shredders finish their “RTP Transformation Contest Shred Mission.”

Michelle K. – 84 Day Results on RTP
“It’s Only the Beginning” by Michelle K.
It’s Only the Beginning…
On April 24, 2009 I received my Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle newsletter from Tom Venuto, with the title ““Fat blogger” or “shredder” – you decide”. I was intrigued. Reading on subsequently lead me to Tom’s Burn the Fat Blog, where I was introduced to Adam Waters and the story of a man who sounded very much like me. Adam was an average guy who transformed himself after countless failed attempts and has found the missing link to maintaining and surpassing his initial progress. I was inspired and quickly purchased the Real-Time Physique (RTP) Transformation System.
I’ve purchased countless fat loss programs with great intentions of transforming my body, but would either start and fail within a matter of weeks, or be so completely overwhelmed by the idea of the process that I’d quit before I even got started.
RTP was different. The early modules really helped me get to the root of WHY I wanted to change my body and provided powerful tools that would help me motivate myself through my Mission 1 journey. Throughout the remainder he taught me how to manage my nutrition and training, taking away the idea of it “just” being for 84-days but showing me that it could become a lifestyle choice if that’s what I wanted.
When it came to the training, everything was laid out for me, but not written in stone, allowing flexibility to meet my lifestyle and physical needs. With these detailed blueprints I was set and ready to rip my Mission, and body, to SHREDS!
While I’d been so excited and determined when ever I’d start a program, what kept me focused and honest (honest with myself that is) were the daily accountability, mindset exercises and the encouragement of ShredderSphere, although the “Sphere”, as it’s affectionately called, has been a huge component.
Adam has created a “safe place” for all of us that aren’t happy with our bodies yet are inspired to change instead of wallowing in feelings of hopelessness, self-pity and hate, all words that accurately describe how I looked at myself only weeks ago. This community provided a forum filled with lots of great information, direct access to experts who addressed any questions along the way, and enabled us to come together, supporting one another through the ups and downs of the program and life in general.
These extra perks lead me to be more driven and motivated from start to finish, helping me achieve:
- A body that I’m proud of and happy to be in;
- To be healthier than I have been in my adult years;
- Learn that I can do ANYTHING I set my mind to;
- Making me a priority in my own life;
- Plus receiving the unconditional support of people just like me from around the world, making some very good friends along the way.
This has been a successful journey for me, but far from the end of the road. Attaining what I have over a 84-days has whet my appetite to take my transformation even further… Look out Mission 2 here I come!
A special thanks to Tom Venuto for introducing me to Adam and RTP, to Carlos DeJesus for providing such great motivation and lessons throughout the Sphere, and to Adam for not only making this possible but for walking the talk, leading by example and being there to help each and every one of us through our respective Missions.
I also cannot forget to thank all of the Shredders who’ve supported and encouraged me with their words of support and much needed kicks in the pants when needed, and for the motivation I received by having the opportunity to share in their journeys. Each and every one of you has contributed to my success and for that I am eternally grateful. You’ve helped set me on a path to attain my life goals, regardless of the obstacles life throws my way. Thank you so very much!
Good luck with your transformation! You can do it too!
It has been a journey of a lifetime that I hope you get as much meaning from it as I have along the way.
When you’re ready, you can find me and my fellow Shredders in the Sphere, ready to welcome and support you through your own personal transformation…

Chuck Billingsly – 84 Day Results on RTP
“No More Excuses” by Chuck Billingsly
No More Excuses!
I can’t say how many times I have started a fitness contest only to fizzle out, even after positive results. Not this time. With everything supplied by RTP I knew I could start AND finish and here I am.
When I first was introduced to RTP Transformation system I knew I had found something different. Created by someone whom I can relate to in their past fitness frustrations. A system comprised of all the ingredients that seemed to be missing in my past efforts.
During my first mission I sometimes felt life was throwing every roadblock it could find at me. I was hit with everything from sickness and past injuries to the death of my grandfather, but quitting was never an option. The RTP Transformation System prepared me in my thoughts, my beliefs and my attitudes.
The RTP System Modules motivated and taught me, the accountability system kept me on track and the wonderful ShredderSphere was there to give support and positive pressure. I am so grateful to my shredder friends for all the support and encouragement. For me, that was one of the most important RTP Transformation success ingredients.
It is hard to believe it was only 84 days, but so many things have changed. The obvious, being my physique. To tell on myself, there are times I pass a mirror and have to stop. Not to stand there and say, “I have to do something to get in shape,” like I once did but to say, “Wow, look at me NOW.” I still have a little way to go, but I am so ecstatic in how far I have come.
My physical RTP Transformation Mission 1 results:
Weight went down from 199.8 lbs to 176.6 lbs
Lean Body Mass went from 135.3 lbs to 144.4 lbs
Fat weight went from 64.4 lbs to 32.2 lbs
Body Fat % went from 33% to 21%
Then there are the mental results. I am more positive, more self-confident and less likely to step back to try to blend in with the scenery. I know I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. I am happy with who I am and how I look and that cannot be taken away.
Another thing I wanted to come out of this mission was knowledge. I needed knowledge of nutrition as well as knowledge / experience with exercise and free weights. That is another RTP Transformation success ingredient. Everything I needed to know, every question I had, it was all at my fingertips.
The RTP Transformation System has taught me by experience; if you want a positive powerful transformation you do it from the inside out. The proof is in the pictures.
Thank you Adam Waters, thank you Tom Venuto and thank you Carlos DeJesus for sharing your knowledge and your vision. Thank you ShrederSphere friends for your support and encouragement. I have completed my mission and am ready for the next.
Shred on my friends,
Chuck Billingsley
