The 4 Weeks to Fat Loss  journey is strategically designed to get your body, heart and mind primed for permanent No Fail Fat Burning, muscle gain and victory over habits that have held you back in challenging areas of your life. 

Your breakthrough transformation can begin August 1, 2015!

ACCOUNTABILITY + PREPARATION + RESILIENCE = RESULTS

Grab a fat burning bestie, get accountable and commit to connecting to the protocol and community with passion and courage.

It's not enough to feed our bodies better. Sustainable fat loss and health begins with what we feed our hearts and minds.

Beginning day one we start laying the foundation to achieving your goals with proven science and methodologies. Sometimes all it takes is minor tweaks for major changes. Keep in mind: it didn't take you one month to become overweight and fall into bad habits. For most it takes many months -- sometimes more -- to achieve their goals. But by the end of these four weeks you won't recognize the woman you've become because you'll be empowered with the tools to change your circumstances, your habits.... and as a result, your body. 

Ready to get the best fat burning tools for real results? Enroll now.

THIS ISN'T A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM. 

Kim Kelly  and R.N. from the Kick Fat in the Ass Spring Challenge will be joining and helping the community in August!

No Fail Fat Burning for Women is about mobilizing body fat to be burned for fuel, gaining lean muscle (that will help you stay in 24/7 fat burning mode, especially after menopause), and empowering women to take the wheel of their health with science, not dangerous gimmicks. We don't go by the scale numbers, we go by inches lost, muscle gained and fat burned.

LEAN? STRONG? HEALTHY? 

Your decisions determine your destiny.

The 4 Weeks to Fat Loss online community is a secure and private group page on Facebook. No one can see the members or page except those in the program. This is a safe space of support, connection, learning and women growing stronger in every aspect of their lives. Remember that everything external began internally whether it's your body, career, creativity, relationships.... these all begin within from choice and action.  Our bellies and booties expand or tighten based on small choices we make every day that add up to big change, for better or worse.

Keep in mind this is not one-on-one individual coaching but group strategy and development. Those who succeed are positive community participants and commit to -- and get passionate -- about the process.

• Every day in August I will take you step by step through your fat loss journey using the scientifically proven No Fail Fat Burning for Women protocol.  

• You will be privvy to the latest fat burning and fitness hacks featured in the follow up book but not available to the public. 

• There will be exercise programs designed to shred fat for beginners, intermediate, advanced. (this is where having an accountable fat burning bestie comes in handy but you'll also have the online community, too).

• No, we will not be working out painfully for hours, counting calories, starving, and all that other non-sense that creates metabolic derangement and increased fat gain once those fads are no longer sustainable.

• You'll receive encouragement, direction, learning, recipes, as well as physical, mental and emotional "challenges." We cannot change if we do not commit to growth. Which way would you like to grow?

• This isn't going to be a month of deprivation and restriction. Hell no. If it's not simple it's not sustainable. This is about becoming educated, powerful, and authentically passionate about what you want to achieve while having a mentor who gets results and a community of kick ass women by your side. 

Give yourself permission to leverage all of your potential  by deciding, taking action and committing to your highest self. It will be my honor to ride shotgun and support you with a proven protocol. 

One short month that can change everything about how you experience your life. With the proper strategy, coaching and community you can achieve anything you desire. Following the No Fail Fat Burning for Women scientific, proven principles in this 30 day program can quickly close the gap from where your physique is today to where you want your body fat, lean muscle and fitness to be.

Remember: decisions determine destiny. Don't let another season go by where you make excuses instead of transformation and then feel repulsed by the woman you see in the mirror. That is not authentic power or joy.

I truly hope to see you in August and would love the honor of being in your corner every step of the way. 

 WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Passion, desire, open-mindedness, a willingness to learn that long-lasting health and body composition takes time. There are a lot of hacks to jump start the process but no quick fixes.  

• A Facebook account. Again, our page is secure and invisible to everyone but members.

• A team-player attitude to support the other women in the community. We will all face challenges and that's where having each other's back makes a world of difference. We're in this together for four weeks.

• A fundamental knowledge and reading of the book No Fail Fat Burning for Women available on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/1deOafM

• An accurate body fat percentage reading. A DEXA scan or hydrostatic testing are optimal. You can also use an inexpensive Omron device for a ballpark idea or go by measurements, your mood and the mirror.

• Take body part measurements and before and after pictures (for your private progress).

• At least a 20lb (9kg) to 35lb kettlebell and knowledge of the two-handed swing. Very easy. For instruction, check out Tracy Reifkind's "The Swing" here.

• And, of course, consult your physician before attempting any new nutrition or exercise protocol. As each individual woman is unique, you should use proper discretion before undertaking the diet, exercise and techniques of the No Fail Fat Burning for Women protocol. Michelle Burleson, Skye St. John, et al expressly disclaim responsibility for any adverse effects that may result from the use or application of the 4 Weeks to Fat Loss protocol.

Once all spaces are filled we'll be waitlisting. Enroll today to secure your slot for 4 Weeks to Fat Loss!

The body you desire is the body you deserve.

Yours in resilience, strength and sticks of butter,

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!

Fat Loss Challenge Update: Turning up the burn!

How Much Fat Can You Burn in 16 days?

3 fat burning babes. 2 weeks. 1 goal.

Aloha, Fat Burning Babes worldwide!  I hope this finds you wrapping up a week of doing awesome things for yourself. And if not, use the weekend to start now. Sometimes the weekends are when we throw all our hard work away because of social situations, etc. 

Think about conscious choice making when confronted with something or someone that you know in your gut isn't for your greatest good. It doesn't have to mean avoiding social situations (although sometimes they're toxic and we need to cut the cord). It means taking pause, doing a gut check and asking yourself, "Does this help or hurt in the long run?"Our futures, and what we want them to look like, aren't some far off, esoteric, intangible thing. We build our futures on choices made in the present.

Why wait to burn fat?

Don't say, "I want to look/feel/do better one day." Say to yourself, "I will do what it takes to look/feel/do better now." Then, be the goddess warrior you are and vow nothing will stand in your way. Not judgment from toxic people around you who probably have nothing to show for themselves anyway. Not what's happened before that didn't turn out the way you want --- that's not real. The past only exists in your head. Get control of your thoughts. Not vice versa. You can do it. I know because you're here reading this.

There's something in you -- the authentic you that you may have buried deep down -- she's reading this because she's ready to realize her highest self. Mediocrity does not look good on you. That's why you're here. So do it. Whatever it is, decide that today is the last day of settling for all the shit that's weighing you down like a pile of cinder blocks chained to your ankles. Choose and act. No one else is going to do this for you. No one is coming to the rescue but you. You will find, however, that once you right the ship, the support of the universe falls in line to serve you. I promise.

Ok, below are last week's journal updates from the three remaining badass babes. Today is day 45 of the Kick Fat in the Ass Challenge. I can't believe it. We have two weeks left and in these final two weeks we are turning up the after burners.

The past six weeks we've built a solid foundation of shifting the body to using fat as fuel, strength, balance, learning, and
pragmatic adaptation.

By pragmatic adaptation I mean that a lot of times people get hung up on numbers and forcing set criteria onto themselves. I know I've said this before, but we can't place static external criteria on an ever-changing living entity and then hope it works... and sticks forever.

I am constantly tweaking macros, movement, etc (and teaching them to tweak) on a daily and weekly basis. I know a lot of you out there get hung up on 30g net carbs. And that's a decent general number for most relatively healthy women on an average day. But that's not going to always be the number if you've done heavy resistance training, if you're in a fat loss stall, if you're trying to gain more muscle, if you are in a different phase of your menstrual cycle, if you're in menopause, if you have an athletic event on the horizon, if you slept like crap.... so much comes into play here. So, when you're applying the protocol to yourself, learn to listen to your body and experiment until you find what works for you. Giving up after a month is giving up on yourself.

Because Kim, Susan and RN have come so far and progressed so well towards their goals, they're now at a phase that we're making major adjustments the next two weeks. Their bodies have reached a point where they're primed to burn a ton of fat in a safe way that spares muscle. 

Their schedule next week is going to be:

• Modified carb re-feed on Sunday.
• Mon - Weds: No Fail Fat Shock Cycle™
• Thurs - Sat: No Fail Fat Burning for Women™ intermittent fasting protocol
• varied resistance training, movement and body activations throughout depending on the day

I can't wait to see what the fat loss numbers look like in two weeks!

5.16.15 UPDATE:

I (Michelle) decided I'm going to join these next two weeks of the fat burning babes bringing their A-game to the finish line of the challenge. I always respected the coaches that ran the sprints with me rather than just blowing a whistle from the sideline.

I'm happy with where my bodyfat is because I have it at a healthy, year-round sustainable number. My goal this year has been adding more muscle instead of burning fat. But hey, let's see what happens. Carrying a really low body fat percentage isn't ideal (or healthy) for me.

The No Fail Fat Shock Cycle™ is interesting because it kinda takes the protocol and turns it inside out. We always stay one-step ahead of our metabolisms here. An example of this being the antithesis of our "regular" days is I'm going to have them focusing on the scale during the Cycle. Why? Because I want to show them it works. And two, we've done a lot of work with their individual numbers so that we know what we're losing during the Cycle is a little water first, then galvanizing stored body fat for burning. There is no muscle wasting here. I've had some of the strongest lifts of my life using the No Fail Fat Shock Cycle.

The Cycle is not a panacea or quick fix. The team has built a solid foundation for six weeks to be able to do this. I guess what I'm saying is: don't try this at home your first few gung-ho days into the protocol.... it will make you feel very, very, very not well. It is not a healthy or smart thing to do without preparing your body for it. The Ninjettes are beyond physically and mentally prepared.

All of them (and me) begin the No Fail Fat Shock Cycle™ on Monday, May 18. We'll report our daily losses and gains here for those three days. Monday morning will be our post carb re-feed starting weights so we'll be up a few pounds from water retention. Keep checking back to see what happens!

And, now I give you some of the most amazing, strong women I've ever had the pleasure to work with...

In Their Own Words:

Susan

I’ve had a bit of a roller coaster ride these past 10 days. I began feeling fatigued and I couldn’t quite figure it out. I do think that it is part of another adjustment process where I learn what's working for me. I’m trying to be introspective and listen to my feelings of hunger and changes in mood. This “paying attention” has been all consuming at times. 

I finally realized that obsessing over what may be causing me to feel less than optimal only made it worse. Remembering to trust the process and listen to Michelle worked magically. 

It seems that gut health needs to be my priority. We're adjusting to focus on really healing my gut and I’m enjoying this learning process. I know there is a ton of literature out there regarding this area and I feel comfortable continuing my own research once I’m done with this challenge. I know my time being able to access Michelle’s knowledge is limited but I think she will have given us the tools to make educated decisions by the time this challenge is complete.

---

R.N.

 Wow!! Yikes!! My two months with Michelle is almost up. I am taking a moment to think about what's going to happen and that makes me a little nervous. Then I stop myself from going there and think about everything I have accomplished and everything I have learned in the past six weeks.
The first thing that comes to mind is how valuable this experience has been for me. I have learned so much about myself and about this process.

I have seen that at times my mind is just evil and wants to take me down. But I now know I have power against it because my goals are important and I'm making myself important to me.

I have learned to be present in this moment and not worry about the next meal or the next week. I use positive self-talk a lot now because I have to remind myself not to jump ahead. The only moment that matters is NOW.

I have learned to trust in the process and to trust in myself. Everything takes time. I have put my body through years and years of abuse and now I am healing. Through this healing, my body is changing. I am physically stronger. I am mentally stronger.

This is an every day practice for me, but I am doing it. I know that I can take this challenge into the future from here on out. Thank you, Michelle, for getting me here.

KIM K.

Kim K.

I'm feeling great about my progress and my body changes so far. I honestly feel like there's no stopping me at this point. 

I accept the journey may take a bit longer than I originally hoped but I have faith in the process and completely trust it.

I'm starting to see definition in my body that I didn't have before. I feel stronger and more energized each day. 

I'm loving that I feel good all the time (it is really hard to describe other than I just feel good). It still amazes me that I felt like crap for so long before and just lived that way not realizing it.

The last week has been unusually hectic for me because my kids' school year is winding down. We seem to have a lot of things going on each day/night. However, I feel like this program has become second nature to me and the key is to know what I'm going to eat first thing in the AM for the day. 

Even if I have to run to the store I plan out my day before it gets away from me and hunger sets in. I made that mistake once last week and it was terrible!! I felt so sick to my stomach and just ill. Even when I ate I had to gag it down. So that will not happen again- I will plan properly and make sure to eat at the 16 hour point. I still have not been tempted to cheat- even when birthday cake, chocolate brownies, and homemade popcorn was in front of me!! 

This self control is huge and each week that goes on I know that I have the power to control what I eat. I am less likely to ever eat those foods again. I am a bit nervous about what happens after the challenge. It has been a huge support having Michelle available to answer my questions and lay out a blue print for success and the other girls to bounce ideas off of. However, I know I have all the tools I need to get to my goals and know I will get there.

P.S.

I had to share a non scale victory today.  I was able to fit in to a pair of jeans that I haven't worn in over two years. I saved them to remind myself that they fit me after my son was born. I haven't tried them on in months- stopped trying before because it was depressing. Anyway, I have gone from a size 12 to a size 8 since I started this journey.
