Twas The Day Before Thanksgiving

The ladies are really getting nervous that their hard work will be all for naught. The trepidation is that they will undo all the good things they have accomplished these last 8 weeks all on one day. Thanksgiving!!

I don't think that will be the case, but we put this to the test. I got everyone on tape to announce their current weight and then explain what exactly they were fearing.

We will then tape them next Tuesday announcing their weight and explaining what happened and if their fears came true. I am really eager to find out the results. I believe that things will be alright and this case study will help prove to everyone else that Thanksgiving is just a day. You can splurge on that day if you have surrounded the other days with healthy eating and exercise.

Have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Columbus Women Inspiring Weight Loss

Well, we started this program on September 15 and on Thursday, November 13, we took measurements to see how things were progressing. I have to say that things are progressing great and these women are really seeing changes. This will be the last time we take measurements until the final measurement taking the week of December 15.

Combined the ladies lost a total of over 45 pounds. A decent amount of that has been fat pounds which is really what we are striving for. They have all lost inches all over their body.

They are looking great, but more importantly feeling great. The nutrition is still the hardest part, but it becomes easier when they see the results that are happening.

We will be heading into the Thanksgiving holiday and the ladies are a bit nervous. The good thing will be that they head into these holidays having built up healthy habits. Thus, if they use the holidays for a cheat day or two, their bodies will be able to respond in a positive manner and rebound rather quickly.

It seemed like we just started this thing yesterday, but time has been flying by. We can't wait to show you the results, but for now just keep reading this and we'll keep you posted.

The Changes Keep Coming

Our Terrific Trio had our weekly meeting on Thursday this past week. After the initial weeks of discussing nutrition and dealing with the issues related to nutrition, these recent weeks have just been reviewing the nutritional logs and answering any questions they might have.

This week, we took video of them and one of the questions that was asked of them was "Has the nutrition part of the program gotten easier and how have you adjusted?"

All of them said the nutrition has gotten a lot easier, but they do have their slip-ups. What was interesting was that now, they don't have the cravings as much as they used to. And when they do eat "crap" their bodies really respond in a negative way to it. They have a loss of energy, they get the gurgling in their stomach, and end up on the toilet a lot sooner.

What this means is that their bodies are responding great to the whole foods and positive nutrition that they have been eating and when they eat crap, the body doesn't tolerate it anymore.

Next week, we will take some more measurements. It will be about 3 months, so we will be interested to see what has changed. They're working hard and we can't wait to share the complete results with you.
