Inspirational Nutrition and Fitness
I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Have you ever picked up a book only to halt your entire life and lose precious sleep just so you can devour the entire thing? Well that just about summed up my weekend! So today were tackling a BIG nutritional myth. The "experts" are always right. So often we hear the latest nutritional study, guru, or best selling book, and take it in as … [Read more...]
I just had a great weekend in Texas visiting with my family and friends, while also squeezing in a few business meetings. My mom just got this adorable little-ball-of-fur who makes a debut in our Motivation Monday video below! Have you ever wondered why some people can eat cupcakes and stay slender while someone else seems to do “everything right” but spends her life … [Read more...]
The craziest thing happened at the last speaking gig I did. I simply asked the audience to start naming off foods they think of as “good for your” and foods they think of as “bad for you”. Even from the camera, you can see the surprise in my face and you can literally feel the energy in the room from this short video. You’ve gotta see what I’m talking about … [Read more...]
I just took the weekend off and enjoyed some quality time with my favorite cousin who came in to town for business. It was a fun weekend (more on that in a second) after a very big week of awards and speaking gigs. We finished up our big Member of the Year Contest (Congratulations Michelle Goldberg!) and also the big 8-week Your Best Body Challenge (Congratulation Kristen Orahood!) It's so … [Read more...]
If I had only one single dollar for every gal (and yes, guy) who's come up to me over the past 17 years of my fitness and nutrition career, I'd be a very, very....VERY rich girl. Do you think muscle weighs more than fat? Are you scared to workout "too hard" or "too heavy" because you'll end up gaining bulk? Even if you know the "A's" to the "Q's" above cognitively, do you still deep inside go … [Read more...]
Today I stepped on the scale and I have lost twenty pounds! I have not weighed this little for ten years! I am down 16 inches and two pant sizes! I feel amazing. My energy has not been this good in a long time! I am able to handle stress better than ever even though the amount of stress I have is the highest it has ever been. I cannot imagine not sticking with the adjustments; it has simply become a part of my life. -Lindsay
In 3 months, I took off 17 lbs and in a total of 5 months I am down 22 lbs and 14 inches, and continuing to lose. I have dropped 2 pant sizes and a ton of inches, my body has muscle and tone where I have never seen it before. I could not have done any of this without the help of Audra and her team. -Sondra
When I learned about the Be Fit Boot Camps, I knew this was my summer to reshape my body. I carved out a slice of "me time" in the 6am hour and got busy. At the first dunking I weighed 144 lbs and was over 34% body fat. 11 weeks later at the second dunking, I weighed 132 lbs and had lost 8.8% of my body fat. I also put on 3 lbs of muscle during those 11 weeks. -Susan
I have lost over 25 lbs! My life has truly changed. People say this all the time, but I am serious! I will never go back to the poor food choices I was making, or the lack of exercise, and I have changed my lifestyle in the ways I now I was eating, and what I was doing to myself. Boot camp has really been a great new focus in my life. It's just been amazing! -Anna

Something new and different was exactly what I needed. I feel like this new form of exercise was the catalyst to break through my lack of motivation and weight loss plateau. I have added years to my life. I also have an overall sense of well being that I never experienced when I was heavier, as well as much more energy, focus and confidence. -Steve
At boot camp I feel encouraged and motivated. I love the boot camp atmosphere. I have lost 8 lbs and 2 inches on my abs. Even though my weight loss has been relatively small, the energy level and the feeling I get after a good workout cannot be denied. It is awesome. Also, it is amazing how much I have learned about nutrition - how easy it is to eat healthy and truly "feed" your body. Learning about nutrition has been a huge part of my change. -Luis
I was fat, angry and in denial of what I really looked like. I knew I wasn't happy with how I looked but could not get motivated to change it. Going to boot camp was really hard, but I made a decision to stick with it, eat healthier and more often, and really just focus on me. Now I am a new me and I love myself. I was really wrapped in in the taking care of the family and now I know that I can do that and work out too. -Patricia
In seven weeks I've lost 6lbs, and for the first time in a long time, I can see the result. Ifeel accountable for my actions. I think before I eat, drink, or grocery shop. I love having the switch clicked ON in my brain to put my health first. I hold my head up higher and have a confidence about myself. I'm so glad I joined your boot camp and can't wait to continue to see results!!! It's all due to you and your team! Thank you! -Jamie
