Nicole lost 9 1/2 inches on the KICK START and fits into her skinny jeans again!

“It was time to re-think the rest of my healthy lifestyle, and focus on my diet too in order to get to my next level of desired fitness.  I signed up for my first Kick Start program – which was a big deal for me, because I am one of those people who like to think that I don’t need help, and that I have all the answers.   The nutritionist, Stacey, made it super easy – follow the simple rules and you will see results.  The nutrition diary and “foodie-approved” recipes kept me accountable without any of the guilt and depravity that I always felt on various “fad diets”. The comradery of having a group of other clients and trainers all doing it together, with a competitive challenge, made it all the more reason to stick with it.     In my first Kickstart, I had my challenges – work travel, busy lifestyle, job and family stresses – there were many reasons (a.k.a. excuses) to not follow the plan.  I did not give up though and was very pleased with the weight loss and muscle gain results.  I refused to go back to making excuses.

The Kickstart program helped remind me of the power of positivity and provided me with the tools to make good decisions that I could continue to incorporate into my lifestyle long after the actual Kickstart program was done.  What a difference drinking the proper amount of water and properly fueling your body can do!  Most importantly, my health improved…my insomnia, joint pain and migraines all went away…this was the true game changer for me.  I was a believer.  It was a no-brainer to sign up for another Kickstart the following year to brush up on the good-habit building and continue to dedicate myself to better health.  More dedicated to the goal than ever before, I stuck to the plan and lost nearly 10 more pounds of fat and fit nicely into my skinny jeans that had been sitting in my closet building dust for years.

I’ve lost a few more pounds since the end of the program, and as much as the weight loss is great – the real prize was the sense of accomplishment and confidence that I gained from setting a goal and achieving it.

You can’t put a pricetag on happiness.”
