Happy Holidays to all! I am very pleased with my progress in the Fitness 805 challenge….I have lost 35 pounds to date. My goal is 40 pounds lost and I know that I will get there by continuing the hard work that I have been putting in. I have also improved my body fat to a healthy range….I started out around 44…now I am around 27.

There is an added challenge this time of the year…..the holiday food. I am determined to keep on track during the holidays. I will still enjoy holiday food, but I will concentrate on making healthy choices and keeping up the workouts. My trainer, Kathy, will help keep me accountable and……..bring the scale periodically! I know it’s not good to get caught up in the number on the scale, but for me, the feedback will help during the Holidays.

So to all of you….hope you all have a great holiday season and keep on being healthy.

P.S. I am excited to try on some holiday dresses and I know they will look great with my improved figure!

I am thrilled with the results of my challenge. I have lost a little over 30 pounds and improved my body fat….I am now well into the health range! I have a few more pounds to go to meet my goal of 40 pounds lost and I am well on my way! I have received many compliments about my weight loss which is great. People see the Fitness 805 challenge sign on my car and ask “Is that how you did it?”

I am now ready to go on my trip and to do some hiking and I fee really good about that!

I have lost 3 more pounds since my last weigh in. That is good because it puts me closer to my goal of 40 pounds. I have lost nearly 27 pounds and will lose even more in the weeks to come. The better news is that my body fat has reduced drastically and I have lost inches all over. This is a great excuse to buy new closthes! We have been practicing our hiking and I can tell that I have more energy and stamina. Thanks to my great trainer, Kathy, I am reshaping my body. Great food ideas from Lauren and Kathy have helped to change my way of eating. I have some more improving to do on the food front, there are many things that I have changed such as more vegetables and fruit, less bread and sweets, more fiber. Lauren also gave me ideas about reading food labels for the most natural ingredients. This is all great!

Hello Everyone! Thanks for cheering me on! I am still working hard and seeing results. My inches have shrunk more than my weight. That is a great thing since I can fit into even smaller pants! Whoo Hoo! I am loving the workouts with my trainer, Kathy. She is awesome! I have gotten some great eating tips from Lauren. She has great ideas that I am trying to incorporate into my diet. It is much harder to change the diet than do the exercises. I will work on that. Thanks for reading and cheering…Its great!

Just like yoga, you will do more than just learn balance.

Just like meditation, you will have more going for you than a calm mind.

Just like boxing, you will be in the best shape of your life.

And best of all, you will be ready to break more than boards if you need to!

How would it stack up to the value of having a life that ends in good health, with your mental faculties fully-operating and with the ability to recover from a catastrophic health event such as a car accident, stroke or heart failure.

They will hold you accountable to your promises to workout, have fun and they will do it playfully. They are the kind of people who have the firm commitment to get you from a size 10 to a size 8 or to lose those love handles.

Your health can’t afford down time. Once you get used to the idea that your machine needs an adjustment or looked at, the more it’s an excuse to not use it.
