"Even better than one-on-one training!"



LivingFit Online Success Stories

Meet Dina – a 5’6”- 33 year old wife and homemaker with two children.  When we first met, Dina explained that she had never lost weight in her life nor had she ever tried. She had only gained – about 5 pounds a year since high school. She had never given nutrition much thought because her parents had always taught her that skinny people were unhealthy compared to their “comfortably plump” counterparts. As far as fitness, her husband was always showering her with complements about her curves so she never wanted to do anything that might change that.

Then one day, something snapped. She looked in the mirror and suddenly saw all the reasons she had let herself go. She realized that she had allowed everyone else to decide what she should want and how she should look. In that moment, she knew what she wanted most and it was not what she saw glaring back at her in the mirror.

Dina lost a total of 37 pounds and 9% body fat over 24 weeks. While she endeavored to follow the LivingFit plan to the letter, often she would tell me (almost every time we trained) that her biggest obstacle was not her own activity, but everyone else’s opinion about what she was doing. A large part of our training included helping Dina release the myth of sabotage and take full responsibility for when she worked out and how she chose to feed herself. She learned that, in addition to having a solid food and workout plan, she had to have an even clearer plan when it came the dealing with family, friends, co-workers, temptation, interference and saboteurs – all of which she faced every day – just like you and me.

She is a beautiful example of what can be achieved when you combine faith, patience, consistency and perseverance. She also proved that cellulite more about gravity and body fat than it is biology or genetics. As I have witnessed countless times over, when the weight of the fat at the top of the body lightens up, so does the cottage cheese… Great job Dina! 

Meet Tony – a 5’10”- 49 year old investment analyst, who I met at my annual Fresh-Air Fit Fair three Summers ago. Tony came to me, like many of my clients, frustrated because “nothing was working.” His goal, like so many, was to build muscle and lose fat, but despite spending countless hours in the gym and following every diet known to man, he finally resolved that, “It’s all downhill after 40,” and just gave up.

When we first sat down together, I heard Tony describe all the ways he had tried to change… heavy lifting five to six days a week; long bouts of distance running...and starvation. Low fat and low carbs had helped him shed a few pounds but, invariably, they always returned with a few extra pounds to boot.

I explained that it wasn’t so much WHAT he was doing that was to blame (although it wasn’t all that great.) The majority of his difficulties had to do with his APPROACH.  So, we began by asking this question, “What are the three basic habits you would attribute to your professional and personal success?” Aside from a flourishing business, Tony has also been happily married for over 30 years. Here’s what he came up with:

1)     He never left anything to chance. If there was an important meeting to attend, or if his wife’s birthday was coming up, it was down on paper, in the calendar, with a time-bound plan behind it.

2)     He constantly practiced in his mind exactly how each event would play out before it happened. If he was meeting with a difficult client, he would visualize all of it turning out in his favor. He would mentally move through every verbal exchange, every detail of the encounter, always imagining a favorable outcome.

3)     He always carried his tools of the trade; cell phone, lap top, brief case… everything he would need to be completely self-sufficient and independent.

We then took these variables and applied them to his fitness and nutrition routine. The results were nothing short of AMAZING! Here is how his three “professional success” habits contributed to his fitness success:

1)     He never left anything to chance. If he had a workout scheduled or it was time to eat, it was down on paper, in the calendar, with a time-bound plan behind it.

2)     He constantly practiced in his mind exactly how each exercise routine would play out before it happened. If he was facing a difficult leg workout he would visualize all of it turning out in his favor. He would mentally move through every set, every rep, every meal, always imagining a favorable outcome.

3)     He always carried his tools of the trade - an Igloo filled with portion controlled meals, ready to drink shakes, boiled egg whites, fruit, cottage cheese and yogurt, plastic utensils, napkins and blue ice to keep it all cold… everything he would need to be completely self-sufficient and independent.

In 12 weeks Tony, lost a total of 17 pounds of body fat and added 6 pounds of muscle. Best of all, he built a successful fitness and nutrition routine grounded exclusively in the LivingFit Online™ principles and the professional APPROACH! Great job Tony!

                                                                                                      

Meet Tammy, a 5’6” 36 year old house wife with three children. I remember the day Tammy came into my office at the gym “just to chat.” She explained she had been working with a trainer at a local studio for about a year. Her regimen included three days of intense training sessions per week and seven days of cardio - 30 minutes on strength training days and one hour on her “off” days.

She was clearly frustrated and explained that it seemed no matter how hard she worked, she just couldn’t squeeze that last little bit of flab from around her middle, thighs, and the back of her arms (all the “trouble” areas.) She had decided earlier that morning to make an appointment with a well-known plastic surgeon in town to have it all “taken care of” once and for all. Thankfully, her husband suggested that she come in to see me before she scheduled surgery.

I challenged her to give me 12 weeks. At first she was skeptical, especially when I told her that the first thing we would do was scale back her workouts. How, she reasoned, could that ever work??? I explained that if she agreed to do everything I asked, I was certain that at the end of the 12 weeks, not only would I be able to save her a lot of pain and suffering (not to mention some cash), I was sure she would be forever grateful to me for preventing her from risking her healthy, beautiful body with the invasive surgeries she was planning to undergo.

In 12 weeks, Tammy’s scale moved only 3.5 pounds – in fact, despite the fact that she was clearly changing, I was forced at one point to ask her to step on the scale backwards when weighing in so she couldn’t see the numbers. Slowly, as the inches began melting away, so did her skepticism.

Tammy finally achieved the sleek, athletic, sexy look she had been working so hard to achieve - all with less of the wrong work and more of the right food. Tammy followed the LivingFit Online principles to a “T” and finally got the results she was looking for. She is living, breathing proof that LESS REALLY DOES WORK BETTER!

Best of all, her family finally had their mom and wife back. And Tammy had her life back! Great job Tammy!
