TESTIMONIALS

“If we hold onto our wounds in an area of life then we hold back the growth of wisdom in that area too.”

A 12-week weight loss challenge at Dream Body Fitness (DBF) can provide a range of benefits due to the features and offerings specific to their program.

Some of the benefits that make a 12-week weight loss challenge at DBF advantageous include:

1. Fitness Marshals: Having access to personal training sessions during the challenge allows for individualized attention and guidance. Trainers can tailor workouts to specific needs, address any concerns, and provide proper form correction, maximizing results and minimizing the risk of injury.

2. Accountability with Gold Stars: The use of gold stars after each session adds a visual element of accountability. This can serve as a motivational tool, as participants can see their progress and feel a sense of accomplishment as they accumulate more stars.

3. Group Training: Participating in a group training setting can offer camaraderie and support. Working out alongside others with similar goals can foster a sense of community and provide motivation, making the weight loss journey more enjoyable and inspiring.

4. Weekly Biometric Assessment: Regular biometric assessments, conducted on a weekly basis, allow participants to track their progress objectively. This data-driven approach helps individuals monitor changes in their body composition, measurements, and overall health, providing a clear picture of their transformation. Inspect what you expect.

5. Daily Motivational Emails: Receiving daily motivational emails can serve as a source of inspiration and encouragement. These messages can provide tips, success stories, and reminders to stay focused and committed to the weight loss journey.

6. Supportive Community: Being part of a supportive community during the challenge can offer a valuable network of like-minded individuals. Engaging with others who are going through similar experiences can provide a sense of encouragement, advice sharing, and accountability.

7. Structured Training Program: The availability of a structured training program ensures participants have a well-designed workout plan to follow. This program incorporates a combination of cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and other forms of physical activity to optimize weight loss and fitness gains.

8. Hormonally Intelligent Eating Plan: DBF's focus on a hormonally intelligent eating plan suggests that our program takes into account the impact of hormones on weight loss. This can involve strategies to regulate appetite, balance blood sugar levels, and optimize hormonal functioning to support effective weight loss.

9. First-Class Workout Environment: Having access to a first-class workout environment enhances the overall experience of the challenge. A well-equipped facility with quality equipment, clean and welcoming spaces, and a positive atmosphere can contribute to the participants' motivation and enjoyment of their workouts.

10. Education and Skill Development: The weight loss challenge includes educational components that provide participants with knowledge and skills related to nutrition, healthy eating habits, and sustainable lifestyle choices. This empowers individuals to make informed decisions and develop long-lasting habits beyond the duration of the challenge.

11. Variety of Workouts: Incorporating a variety of workouts within the program helps prevent monotony and keep participants engaged. Having diverse exercise options, such as cardio, strength training, interval training, and group classes, ensures participants can find activities they enjoy and stay motivated throughout the 12 weeks.

Photos are just representations of our outsides. They only show our exterior transformation. And that is the easiest one. Meaning you can do any number of quick fixes and take extreme measures and transform your outside.

The most valuable, important, and lasting transformations are always on the inside. They are the hardest fought but the most valuable changes we can make. They lay the foundation for profound changes in other areas of our lives.

When we focus only on the outside appearance, we disconnect from inside feelings. We do things that don’t feel good to our bodies in the name of outside change.

We ignore what we need and instead do what we are told will yield visual results. We prioritize how we look over how we feel. And we create collateral damage in the process.

Lasting weight loss is not a visual, exterior process, it is an internal process. It requires us to connect to our bodies, investigate and heal our relationship with food and ourselves, and feel our feelings. 

We walk around in our bodies, almost constantly focused on how our body’s look to other people around us. I want you to think about this and pay attention to it today. How often do thoughts about how you look and what other people think about it occupy space in your mind?

When you got up this morning and got dressed, what were you thinking about? My guess is that even when you are home alone and no one is looking, you have thoughts about how crazy your hair is or how mismatched your sweats are. Because we don’t value what it feels like to be in our bodies as much as we value what it looks like.

I encourage and guide my clients to step out of the sea of body objectification that all of us have been immersed in by our media and culture and to start to get back into their bodies. To start to pay attention to what it feels like to be them rather than just what it looks like to be them.

When we can start to develop compassion and acceptance and love for our bodies and value what it feels like to walk around in them more than to be viewed, we start to take care of our bodies differently.

And one of the byproducts of that relationship change and that subsequent behavior change, is weight loss.

So the clothing I chose for my students to wear in my most recent photos, and the pictures I chose for my site-reflect what I value when it comes to dressing a healthy human body…how I feel and what I like.

I don’t have pictures of people looking sad and distraught at their “before” weight, and happy and triumphant at their “after” weight because the reality is, the number on the scale does not determine your feelings. I have plenty of sad and distraught days in this body as I did happy joyful days in past versions of my body. 

I never want to sell weight loss as a way out of your misery. Because there is no way out. There is only through. You will never find outside solutions to inside problems. And therefore I will not model, on my site or elsewhere, that happiness is found in the number on the scale.

I help my clients lose weight yes. But not just physical weight on the outside. Most important to me is helping them lose the mental weight of shame and inadequacy and self-loathing, the weight of the past and worry about the future, the weight of objectification-those are what we focus on first and most.

Some of my favorite things about my work with my clients is what they gain-emotional literacy and resilience, self-love and acceptance, the skill of honoring and keeping commitments to themselves, valuing how they feel over how they look, this list goes on and on.

So…I don’t and won’t be posting before and after photos, or retouched or photoshopped photos of me anywhere.

What you see is me and who I am and what I believe reflected in an image.

Have a fantastic week everyone. See you soon!
