Ladies, I wanted to share with all of you Cristin's Story of her weight loss journey. I am so proud of her and I am looking forward to her reaching her next goal. Awesome job Cristin!
Simply put I have struggled with my weight all my life- not an unusual story for any woman. As a young girl I can remember being called fat-n-flat, then as a teenage..look out- I had curves that didn't quit- until college of course! Throughout college I packed on the pounds, 15 freshman year...then another and another and another...at my heaviest I weighed in a hamburger shy of 200 lbs as I like to say, I didn't know who that person was... with a lot of hard work and diligence I lost about 60 lbs in 6 months, and was right back to having curves in all the right places, met my husband settled in and got...comfortable, fast forward to a year or so ago, which is when I met Debbie. I was definitely a little scared of her workout program, not having known anything about "kettle-bells" but Debbie's genuine approach and demeanor were very appealing to me.. she told me her story and that she is a product of what she teaches... I was inspired.

When
I started her first 6 week challenge I could barely make it through the
class with a 10 lb kettlebell...today I use a 35lb bell, I am stronger
and fitter for it. In my time in working with 4 Elements I have had
many personal struggles that include loosing my father, and my own
battle with cancer, I often say in jest that the only reason I am not
back up at 200lbs is because Debbie keeps me in check, I know in that
statement is 100% true...
Again
I say fast forward to
this summer, I had again- gotten VERY lazy with my eating, that age
old- I work out so much so I can eat whatever I wanted, then on August
5th I got on the scale and saw a # I swore I would never hit
again...185lbs OH MY! What a shock that was...I quickly sat down and
opened up the files that Debbie supplied me with way back in the
beginning, made my grocery list, and facebooked Debbie, and publicly
told her I needed focus and I needed her to push me... and PUSH ME SHE
DID!
As
I sit here today I weigh 159 lbs, I have lost almost 30 LBS! in just
over 6 weeks, I made all the changes Debbie has been asking me to make,
and guess what THEY
WORKED! Everything fits me differently, I am confident and have my
GROOVE BACK!!!!
With 9 lbs to go I have signed up for the Little Black Dress challenge in hopes that by 2013 I can be at my goal.
Debbie
never gave up on me, she supported me through thick and thin ( pardon
the pun), and she does this for each and every client. Her
program is inventive, and changes every single session...trust me you
will never be bored! If you do the work both in the studio and at home,
you will see results that I promise you, it is about making the
commitment to yourself!

Hello! I would like to state the fact that you sure managed to organize a marvelous website. Will you be so kind and give an answer to my question. Do you have an idea to write as a professional or blogging is only a hobby?
ReplyDeleteHi Midnightcosmostar, This blog is a platform for myself and my clients and anyone seeking the information I provide regarding living a healthy fit life. So I would not say it is a hobby but I am not a professional blogger. Hope this answers your question!
