"I was trying on my swimsuits for our vacation that was coming up and even though I’m not where I wanted to be I am super proud of myself for where I am.. it’s a constant battle and a life-changing journey, but I just want to thank you... thank you for your encouragement and dedication to helping other women change their mindset about getting healthy and the way we see ourselves. If it wasn’t for finding you I would still be exactly where I was. I truly believe you are doing exactly what God has called you to do."

One year ago Patty decided it was time to make her well being a priority. She's lost 123 pounds and 39.5 inches!
"No more foot/leg/back pain. Every day feels like a new beginning. I'm getting stronger, faster, can go harder and longer with my work outs. I cannot believe I can jog again and do jumping jacks!
Shopping at stores I haven't been able to go to in years! Donating all my old clothes because I will never be back in them. Feeling and knowing I am finally in control. I go into the grocery store and I love buying good clean food. I'm no longer tempted to buy junk.
I drive by fast food places without wanting to stop. I have discovered the joy of cooking! One of the biggest "aha moments" was this summer when I realized how I could do everything I wanted to do and feel great doing it!! Being overweight kept me from enjoying so many things in my life. I went to concerts, weddings, cookouts, swimming and loved every minute because not only did I felt alive again but I physically could do all of those things.
It's as simple as being able to sit in a chair when I go out."
One thing I truly admired about Mia when she first joined me was that she was comfortable in her own skin. She wasn't joining me because she didn't like the way she looked, she was joining me because she didn't like the way she felt and she wanted to learn how to live a healthier lifestyle. The moment she joined my accountability group and received the tools along with the support she needed, she hit the ground running. She has been motivating and inspiring me for almost two years.
"I'm pretty excited because I've been able to keep off the 30 pounds and over 30 inches I lost, with just a few pounds up and down. And I only gained a pound when I went on a full week vacation with my family! I've learned how much better I feel when I eat clean, but I also know that I need to treat myself now and then so I won't go off the deep end when I do! I have so much more energy, and it has made me stronger inside and out. I've set a good example for my family, and plan to keep this up forever."

Ashley's transformation has been so much more than just focusing on the numbers. It's about feeling good form the inside out. I love how determined she was and how hard she fought to make her well-being a priority. She lost a little over 30 pounds and 30 inches.
"When I look at my before and after photos, I don't look at what I've lost but what I've gained. I got to the point where I said enough was enough and I didn't want to feel this way anymore. I didn't want to be uncomfortable with the way I looked, overweight and insecure. I had a vision of what I wanted. Through the tough times I never thought about what it would do to me on the inside. How my journey would change from what I thought I should look like, to how it made me feel.
I sleep better, I have more energy to keep up my kids, I'm not sluggish and my overall mood has drastically changed. I look forward to getting up in the morning and working out. I look forward to taking care of me so I can take care of my family and physically keep up with my kids. This is a particularly tough time of year for me. My father passed almost a year ago after multiple strokes and finally a massive heart attack. That happened due to his very poor health. That will not be me.
I can honestly say I'm so proud of my accomplishments, both the outer and more importantly the inner. For anyone looking for a change in health, you can do this and it's so worth it. The struggle is real and it's hard, but it gets easier because you get stronger - physically and mentally."
"I have finally found what works for me and I can stick with it for life because it has all the elements: nutrition, accountability, support, exercise, and friendship. Other programs that I have done had only pieces of this."

It has been an honor to be Amy's coach and be on this journey with her. Her transformation is so freaking amazing that I had to share her story and celebrate her success with you all. Her story was even featured in Fitness Edge Media Magazine!!
"I was managing myself OK for awhile - I guess I was SEMI-paying attention to what I was consuming, but this past winter, I kind of just stopped paying attention. I was just kind of eating and drinking WHATEVER. If it was a work-then-gig day, I'd probably have Wendy's for lunch, then drinks at the gig, then something off the menu at whatever bar/restaurant we were playing at AFTER the gig, then we'd probably go have more drinks after that, then I'd have whatever snack I could find when I got home. On a non-gig day I was getting home between 3:30 and 4:30 and I'd head to the couch to catch up on all my DVR-ed shows while drinking wine or moscow mules and eating popcorn until it was time for dinner, then eat dinner, then more TV and wine until I was falling asleep. Lol I shudder to type that right now...I was wasting SO MUCH TIME!
It still took me a few months to bite the bullet and whip my butt back into shape, but the day after Easter is when I decided to enter an accountability group. In the group, I got support from other people like me looking to make a lifestyle change. Since then I have lost 14 pounds, several inches, dropped 2 sizes, learned to "eat clean" (it is NOT as hard as you think), started exercising 30 minutes a day from home, started drinking Shakeology daily (YUM), learned how to still enjoy cocktails and treats and become comfortable in my own skin again!!!"
