Featured Client of the Week!!!

I am going to feature one of my clients every week or so. I think it's inspiring and motivating (two of my favorite words) to see people who have made great progress, despite setbacks (life).

My very first one is......Melissa!
Melissa has been working with me since August 2010. She had a 6 month old baby boy at that time, along with two little girls, ages 2 and 5. In the course of the 6 months she has been working with me, her family has gone through a LOT. Her son had some crazy medical problems they discovered when he was about 8 months old. They were back and forth to Portland several times with doctors appointments and surgeries. Fortunately, she was able to stay focused, and didn't let this distract her from amazing progress! Over the past 6 months, she has worked out 1/2 hour three times a week here with me, plus the normal routine of chasing after several small children. That's it! No endless cardio, no hours in the gym, no working out every single day.
The biggest change for her was "swapping" her meal sizes. Along with following the principles outlined  in "The Eat Clean Diet," she started eating a larger breakfast and smaller dinner, instead of the other way around as most of us have the habit of doing. She still enjoys a glass of wine almost every night but she cut out all her after-dinner snacking. (whoo-hoo!!!! that's a HUGE part of the battle for most of us!!!)

So, in the past 6 months, Melissa has lost a total of  22.5 pounds and 19.25 inches!!!! 7.5 of those inches were from her waist! Congratulations on your amazing progress!!!!

   and after!
