Spring 2015 Fat Loss Challenge Ends ❖ See the transformations!

The Two Month Spring 2015 Kick Fat in the Ass Challenge Ends 

===> Register for the August 4 Weeks to Fat Loss here. <===

How did the remaining 3 Fat Burning Babes do?

 
First there were four. Then there were three. For eight weeks, beginning April 1, 2015, these ninjettes brought their A-game every day in service to their strongest, fittest selves. Through sick kids, colds, doubts, work stress, travel, social situations, family drama, PMS, these goddesses persevered... and guess what? It paid off big time.

We officially ended on Sunday, May 31. I gotta say it's been weird not having Kim, R.N., and Susan as a part of my every day life this week. Looking back on where they were only two months ago and everything they've accomplished, gained (and of course, lost) blows me away. 

I pushed them hard the last two weeks because the foundation is now there to take them to the next levels of strength and fitness. I wanted them to see the once-impossible-feats they can knock out now with ease.

This last week our physical challenge was 300 kettlebell swings a day. Then, one day, Kim did 330. Then R.N. did 400. Susan followed suit by upping her kettlebell weights. Then we all did it. 

On April 1 this was impossible. On May 31 it was a fun little fat-burning, muscle-building fitness game.

PLEASE HEAR AND BELIEVE ME: (this is my way of yelling in prose) 

Ladies, when you decide that nothing will stand in the way of what you want to achieve, you will get there. I promise you. It's not about comparing yourself to others. It's about making your mind your servant and not your master. That goes for anything worth having or becoming in your life, at any age.

Below are the final journal entries and numbers of the Spring 2015 Kick Fat in the Ass participants. Before I hand you over to them, I want to share with you what I told them the other day. Because I truly mean it. I think all of you who've been following along can agree:

"I just want to sincerely thank you guys for allowing me to be a part of your journeys. I do not take it lightly and you all have inspired me (and thousands of others) every single day. I cannot express how much your commitment, work ethic, open mindedness and support for each other has left me in awe. Each of you are incredible, strong and unparalleled women that can make anything happen. Thanks for sharing these two months with me (and the world)."

We get a lot of emails about when there will be another challenge. This challenge was done for the upcoming book. It's not something we do regularly as there are only so many hours in the day and our private clients come first. We've been talking about creating a private online community that's not as intensive as the one-on-one coaching but you'll still receive exclusive nutrition and training help. We're also looking at financing options to make private, one-on-one coaching a reality for those who are serious but don't have the budget. Stay tuned.

Ok, I lied. There's one more thing I wanted to talk about before I hand you over to the Fat Burning Babes.

I have a private client who also finished a one-month training intensive in May. She got a DEXA at the beginning of her thirty days and another this past weekend. What difference does this make?

Don't throw in the towel when you haven't had a DEXA

Because the DEXA tells you your exact body fat, your lean body mass and bone density among other
things. When you only go by the scale as a measure of success, you are getting a drop of water vs. the entire ocean. If we went by her scale weight alone, she lost two overall pounds.

This would send most women over the edge and make them want to quit and head for the Hersheys. And that would be a travesty of epic proportions. Why?

Because the DEXA also shows she gained 1.4lbs of lean muscle. In 30 days. Incredible. This woman was prepared, determined, insanely busy with career, husband, and three year old. Not only did she execute her training to gain 1.4lbs of shapely, strong muscle, she also lost 9.7 inches and 1.2% body fat. In thirty days. She bought a sleeveless shirt for the first time in forever for a hard-earned and well-deserved vacation.

She made those strides because she chose it for herself. She's going to keep on crushing it. Doesn't mean there aren't crappy days. It means you show up on those crappy days and make a deposit into your account... no matter how small.

Someone asked me how to make their scale weight drop. It's simple. Starve yourself. Do hours of cardio every day. Don't lift anything heavy.

However, if you want to see fat drop and muscle grow, do the opposite. Your scale might not move much but you'll look damn good in those "goal" jeans collecting cobwebs in your closet.

Remember: you're not a damsel in distress. You're the hero of your story.

Don't wish for it. Work for it.
Yours in resilience, strength and sticks of butter,
Michelle

FAT LOSS CHALLENGE FINAL NUMBERS & PARTING THOUGHTS

R.N.

R.N.

Two Month Loss Totals:

• 16.5 inches
• 4% body fat
• 8 lbs

I can't believe the two months are up! At first I never thought I'd make it to the end.  I am happy and proud to say that I did.    

This experience has shown me I am capable of change.  While some things will remain the same and will continue to be a challenge, I have accomplished things that I never thought I would or could.

I am not obsessing over my next meal or experiencing cravings.  I believe this is because I am not restricting my calories and I am eating real food and good fat.   I am conscious of my food intake but I do not cut my calories or starve my body.

I may not see a change in my body everyday or week and some days I maybe discouraged but I believe and trust in myself and in the process.

A continued challenge will be my mind.  It tries to convince me that I should go off the rails; that I'm not going to make it; that "why do you think you are going to be successful this time when you haven't been in the past?"  This will continue to be a challenge but I have strategies to help me work through the conversations in my mind.  I repeat my affirmations, I remember that my goals are important and I try to start each day with a meditation.

I have said this before, but thank you, Michelle, for your constant and consistent support and inspiration. That's the other factor that got me this far!

SUSAN G.

 Susan G. Two Month Loss Totals:

• 4.25 inches lost
• 2.3% body fat lost
•  1.5 lbs scale weight gained (unfortunately the weigh-in was on Day 26 of her cycle. Hello water!) Another reason why the scale is a mindf*ck. Those are some damn good numbers. the closer we get to our goal body fat percentages, the tougher it is to mobilize those last bits to burn. Look at the muscle definition!

My skin, hair, and nails are stronger and shinier than they have ever been.  It will be six months since I've had artificial sweeteners, soda, and gum.  I never have the hunger pains I once did. I know I can change anything now.    

Prior to January I didn't eat a carb heavy diet. I never ate sugar but I knew I wasn’t healthy.  I watched friends and family suffer from diseases.  I worried about the level of fatigue I chronically experienced, in addition to the health of my endocrine and nervous systems.  

I knew something needed to change; I just wasn’t sure what to do.  I feel so lucky that I was allowed to participate in this challenge. 

My hormones and gut health will continue to need some help but I’m working on it.  I think I am experiencing hormones in a way that was previously unfamiliar and it has been interesting figuring out how to deal with them.  I know I need to control my stress and cortisol levels but I have to admit that I let the stress run away with me a few times.  

I became obsessive, distraught, and then just sad.  I can't say  this was the result of my hormones specifically, but I know I need to meditate, breathe, and calm myself down when this happens.  I also think that I need to recognize true hunger.  It’s a different, unfamiliar feeling but I need to pay attention to it.  Food is not something to deny myself, I need to trust what I am feeling; trust the process. 

I am beyond happy that this nutrition protocol does not mean that I have to give up the gym or running.  I just have to time it right and feed my body properly.    Now that the challenge is over, I will have to continue the things that made me successful. 

 I need to remember that it doesn’t get easier, we just get stronger.  I need to meditate and keep life in perspective.  I am healthier and that was, and still is, the most important goal.

KIM K.

 

Three Month Loss Totals:

• 32.9 inches
• 8% body fat
• 18.8 lbs

I've learned so much about my health, what fuels my body, as well as what makes me feel like crap. I am confident saying I've completely eliminated foods forever that make me feel sick. I don't miss them.

I am no longer hungry, tired and cranky all the time. The crappy way I used to feel is like a past life for me now. I really learned to listen to my body because it does tell you what works and what doesn't.

Drinking water with lemon all day is a new must for me. It's fairly easy to drink a gallon every day without thinking about it. My coffee breakfast is my favorite and I view it as a real treat. It's easy and a no-brainer in the morning, so it makes getting my three young ones, myself and my husband ready for the day less hectic.  It's great. I don't see changing things up any time soon but if I ever need/want to, I now know how.

I enjoy my lifting routine. My workouts don't require hours at the gym to see real results. I've learned to push myself physically and really make the most out of the workout. No more chronic cardio! It's all about the weights now! I love that I'm building muscle. 

I've learned that I can travel, eat out, and socialize while staying focused. The No Fail Fat Burning for Women nutrition hack has become a simple routine. When I originally started the protocol in March I set the goal to stick with it until my birthday. I know now I'll stick with it forever!
