We never used gimmicks, nor did we resort to restriction or deprivation. Here are her words.

I was 39.9% body Fat when I started. I am now 18.9% This has been a life altering Program. 3 days a week for 30 minutes. A total of 6 hours a month. The reason this is such an incredible program is that it’s all about small shifts and a realistic approach that accommodates any busy lifestyle. I’m a single mom that travels all over the country on business and I’ve entirely reshaped my body.

The Fitness Mojo program goes beyond the physical. All the coaches here know and understand you and deal with what’s holding you back…. People, life, schedule, and other challenges.

Fitness Mojo really helps you deal with stress that challenges you as an individual. Stress that leads to lack of performance. I worked with a Bally’s trainer for a year before I came here. Nothing changed. The next year with Fitness Mojo everything changed. I literally cut my body fat in half. The changes I’ve made are awesome and life changing.”  Juliet Yackel..

In all fairness, she did add workouts here and there. She had some aches and pains along the way.

She got off track here and there, but really, over the course of a year, she always did her 12 sessions a month. Not 9, 10, not 11… TWELVE! She always made-up misses. She concentrated on eating 5 times a day.

She took her vitamins. She understood what she had to do. She applied what we told her. She was always working on it.

When she was trying to break through a plateau; she did. She didn’t get hung up on the scale (a problem we often encounter, especially with women clients.)

I specifically remember reviewing her measurement results after her first 5 weeks. Her results were typical. Her body fat percentage changed but the scale had decreased only 1 lb.

I showed her that she had lost about 4 lbs of fat and gained 3 lbs of lean muscle. I explained that this was good and that things would begin to change more significantly after about 10 weeks and that the 3 pounds of muscle meant her metabolism was faster which meant she would be burning more calories all the time, even when she was sleeping.

She implemented all 10 of my recommendations:

1. Eat 5 small meals evenly spaced throughout the day. It just requires planning.
2. Always pre-cook meals by cooking at least 4 servings when you cook dinner so you have food you can grab easily.
3. Optimize calories- Make sure every meal includes veggies and/or a piece of good hard crispy fruit (they fill you up and control food cravings).
4. Avoid foods with refined sugar-it affects energy levels negatively and they will actually stimulate your appetite.
5. Make sure to eat adequate protein. Roughly 1 gram for every pound of lean mass to speed up recover, and it too satisfies hunger and fills you up.
6. Always eat a balanced meal. This means a lean protein, veggie, and a little healthy fat at every meal. This keeps your hormone levels even throughout the day, thus accelerating fat loss efforts.
7. Pack a lunch instead of eating out. You’ll save money and you control calories and quality.
8. Add post training speed work when you can. Even if its just ten minutes. It will make a difference.
9. Always complete 12 sessions or more each month.(6 hours)Find a way.
10. Limit Alcohol- Every drink is like eating a candy bar. (I don’t know of too many weight loss programs that condone 6-10 candy bars every week.)

In my next entry we'll talk about how easy it is for anybody to apply these 10 steps and how juliet did it to get into the best shape of her life.
