Your blog/training download made me realize many, many things over the last couple months:

I was skinny fat for  a long time.  I was eating far too many carbs and not nearly enough protein, and thought cardio was the answer.  WRONG!!!  And sadly,  I am one of millions of women who tell a similar story.

Your info made me realize how important correct macros are to success, which was my main problem.  I always had the mental strength to dedicate time to exercise, and could control eating but I had no good guidance.  The REALLY funny thing is, I am eating more now that I have in YEARS. NO , the scale has only dropped about 1 pound, but , as you say, the mirror does not lie and you are right!

its only been 2 months, and look what I have accomplished, and that includes about 1 cheat meal a week. I actually made progress, so I am excited when I think about just keeping it up over the winter months.  I won’t panick about shorts season in April.

Basically, you have made me realize my goals are attainable and I don’t have to starve myself to lose my saddlebags!!! ANd when you see results, it is motivation to work out more!

Heather helped me lose the last 15 pounds I needed to get off after yo-yo dieting for about a year after having my 2nd child. She educated me on managing and tracking food, portions and macros (which was foreign to me). She helped me understand that I need to lift and gain strength. I can’t tell you how much I learned from her. It was an invaluable experience and I have never felt better. I love lifting, I love NOT getting on the elliptical for 40 minutes at a time everyday getting nowhere and I love that I know how to manage my fitness now! Life got in the way sometimes and she was very supportive helping me find a balance between family, fitness and work.

Heather taught me how to go about health and fitness right. There are no quick fixes, magic pills, drop-20-pounds-in-a-week-and-keep-it-off plans which we all want to believe. She taught me patience and perseverance to overcome my messed up metabolism which was not easy. I really had to learn to trust the process. I was never terribly overweight but over the years of dieting repeatedly I learned I wasn’t eating enough calories and still not losing. So, I joined the GF2 Crew and built muscle, lost fat and increased my calories. It was the longest road ever but SO worth it.

I couldn’t have done it without Heather! Seriously! There were some girls sitting near me at my show talking about their prep and all of the foods they couldn’t eat and I thought, “You HAVE to use MY coach!” I can’t believe some of the things coaches are having their people do or not do.

I’m really happy with how I looked and my kids were all about my trophies.

Heather, I can’t say thank you enough. I asked you to make this a positive experience and while prep can never be considered “positive” in my opinion, LOL, you delivered in the best possible way and I can’t say enough about you, your communication, and the way you knew how to manipulative my body. I feel so lucky to have stumbled across your blog all those months ago.
