Congrats Karen Roberts - I can't resist shining the light on her for working with those 12lb weights on nearly everything!!! The proofs in the pudding...she looks awesome. She also rocked the one arm, one leg front pillar hold.

Also, want to give a shout out to Daryle Currie for her recent upgrade to 10lb weights. She was working hard with them again this morning.

Fat Loss Won...in the Mind

Winning the Battle of Fat Loss in the Battlefield of Your Mind

As you exercise your muscles with rigorous weight training and your heart and lungs with intense cardio intervals, don’t forget to train the muscle that holds the key to your success at achieving your fitness goals – your mind. What you think, believe, and visualize will affect your actions and therefore your outcomes.

Controlling your daily thoughts can fast track your results better than anything else. This week’s mindset challenge: uncover your personal motivation. Why do you want to accomplish your fitness goal? WHY? Knowing the true reason why you are doing what you are doing is the first step in overcoming temptation and inconsistency. Ask yourself why your goal is important. You will know when you have found your true reason because the answer will be emotionally charged and/or something you are passionate about. No emotion or passion in the answer? Then that is not the true answer. Keep digging until you find it. Then think about it daily. Why not make your “why” your password on some of your online accounts. This way you are sure to remind yourself of your reason multiple times a day. How’s that for motivation?
I'll end with a paraphrased quote from Zig Ziglar. People often say that motivation doesn't last but neither does bathing. That's why we do it daily. Motivate yourself daily by reflecting daily on your why and never lose motivation again.

Weight Management Program Details

Fit Body Breakthrough Class Details

TAKE ACTION NOW - CLASSES START IN 2 WEEKS!
Call to reserve your spot: 214-257-0146

What is this class?
A dietician created and approved nutrition and lifestyle coaching program designed to help you learn what to do and actively implement what you learn to effectively manage your weight. You can rest assured that the principles taught in this class are backed in science and not the latest fad diet.

Who will be my coach?
Concita Thomas will be your coach and deliver each class and lead group discussions. Concita is a certified fitness professional and experienced in helping women interested in reducing body fat and increasing muscle tone and definition get results through proper nutrition and training.

What will I learn in this class?
In 12 weeks, you will learn everything you need to know to finally stop stressing over your weight. You will learn:

• Why calorie counting is not the first step in weight management and where to start for long term success.
• How to recognize proper portion sizes.
• How and when to use a food journal.
• How to know when you need to count calories and how to determine your caloric needs when that time comes.
• How to plan and eat balanced meals that will leave you energetic as well as aid you in weight management.
• Strategies that take the guesswork out of preparing quality meals
• How to super charge your nutrition plan with foods that increase your overall health.
• How to spot sneaky marketing tactics on food labels and avoid fake health food.
• How to recognize healthy food choices when eating on the go.
• How to master your motivation for high compliance and major results.
• How to break through a weight loss plateau.
• The secrets to conquer self-sabotage.
• Strategies to keep your new healthy habits for a lifetime.

What type of results can I expect?
Within Days:
You can expect increased energy from implementing the strategies you will learn in class.
Within a Month:
You can expect for your clothes to fit better (and maybe even be too big).
By the End of the Course:
You can expect to have confidence about your food choices and weight loss approach rather than wonder if every new product on the market is what you need to finally achieve success. If you have been following the program to the best of your ability, you can expect to be 1-3 clothes sizes smaller.

**How quickly you lose weight will depend on where you are starting and on how committed you are to rapid incremental integration of what you learn. Learning is not enough…doing is a MUST for success with this course. Assuming you take consistent action on the principles you learn, you can expect to drop 1-3 dress sizes during the 12-week class.

When and where are the classes?
The classes will be tele-classes. The weekly lessons are delivered by video so that you can attend class in the comfort of your own home. Weekly group discussion is on the phone. There will be two groups (based on demand) that will meet at two of the three times:
Tuesday, 7-8pm
Wednesday, 11:45am – 12:30pm (Express Lunch Class)
Saturday, 10am – 11am

How long are the classes?
The classes will be 1 hour with the exception of the 45 minute express lunchtime class.

When do classes begin?
Classes begin the week of October 31st. Just in time to get you looking and feeling great for the holiday.

What type of homework will I have?
Your homework will not be academic in nature. Your assignments will include reflection exercises to ensure you understood what you learned and implementation exercises. You will be working on your personal fitness action plan.

What type of support do I get outside of class?
You will get limitless email support from your instructor as well as limited phone availability. There is a platinum membership option for those who require more personal accountability and one on one weekly phone time with Concita.

Are there workouts included?
No. This program is a nutrition and lifestyle coaching program. You will learn what a sound exercise program includes so that you can recognize effective programs. If you need exercise assistance, you can take advantage of our fitness training options.

Who can join this program?
Any woman interested in having a Fit Body Breakthrough and willing to watch a weekly video lesson, attend a weekly discussion, dedicate 10 minutes a day to study the manual, and take steps each week to improve her approach to weight management.

How many people will be in my group?
Each discussion group will be capped at 10 women.

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There is a 30 day money back guarantee. If you have attended group discussion and do not feel you are benefiting from the class, simply let us know and get your money back.

How much will the program cost?
The suggested retail value of this course is $100 per month. I am running a holiday special and will offer this 12-week class for $60 per month ($50 per month if you are a member of Great Shape Fit Club).

*EARLY ACTION INCENTIVE: If you are one of the first 5 ladies to sign up, your investment will be $50 per month whether or not you are a member of Fit Club.
