The Capacity Experiment

I'm chasing a six pack and $50k in 90 days, in public, to show what's possible with capacity.

About Michael

I've lost the same weight more times than I can count.

Certified life coach through The Life Coach School.

Michael Johnson

I've struggled with my weight since high school. From college on, I dieted up and down.

After I bought a bakery, the weight climbed. On May 26, 2023, I weighed 252.2 pounds and decided to try one last time.

I lost 60 pounds in about six months. But I lost muscle too, and I looked thinner than I wanted, not better.

So I hired my own coach, learned the mental tools, and built my own formula.

Then came HOT 75: 42 pounds in 75 days. And it never felt hard, because the capacity was there.

Now it's my mission to help other over-functioners create bodies and lives they love, using the ADD RESPECT Method.

I live in Raleigh, NC with my husband, Gadiel, and our dog, Amelia.
