TO STACEY COLINO, THE ONE AND ONLY: THANK YOU! WHO knew Instagram messages worked for real?! Thank you for taking a chance on an Internet stranger and turning phone calls, celebrity magazine articles, and a book concept into reality. You helped me achieve my biggest goal and held my hand with patience along the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this happen.
To my brother, Dave: thank you for being my health role model and for teaching me so much throughout my life. To my amazing family, clients, and friends: you all have helped me in countless ways, and this book is a physical symbol of what we have built together. With all my heart, thank you! We did it, guys!
An extra-big thank you to my agent, Rick Broadhead, who championed this book from start to finish, and editor Dan Ambrosio, who was passionate about this subject from the get-go. Dan, your enthusiasm, support, and good cheer throughout the process helped make writing this book a labor of love for Stacey and me.
