Before:

My story,

I was a very overweight teen and young adult. After my last child was born I weighed in at 225lbs. I was so unhappy with myself, I loved to run but could’nt due to most of the weight I carry below the waist. At this time I enrolled in college and for filler classes I would take fitness and nutrition. I learned what I needed to eat to be healthy and what I needed to do in the form of exercises to become fit. I never wanted the Skinny look, I just wanted to be healthy and to RUN… I lost 85lbs…Recently I have let the stress of my job and the empty nest syndrome control my not so healthy eating habits and my lack of motivation turned me soggy…I’m really hoping with the motivation of this transformation contest to get ME back….My goal is to lose the 12lbs that I have gained and to help me refocus my healthy eating habits. Even people who have the knowledge of what to do to stay healthy can fall with the pressures of life and I want to start that climb back to being normal…..

Weight 152lbs

Measurements:

Neck 12 1/2
Arm 12 3/4
Chest 35
waist 33
hip 38
thigh 24 3/4
calf 15 1/2

AFTER

This whole contest made me realize that at 47 I could still lose weight and tone up. I changed my workouts from all aerobics to more strength training and it worked for me. I love bootcamp, I like the challenge and the results….Even with having major knee surgery on March 6th I still able to do my training without the leg and maintain my progress. I will continue this journey and I hope to meet my goal of 140lbs before summer. The most important thing I take with me in this challenge is that I no longer feel the need to live by tha scale. I now messure my progress in how I look and How I feel……I am now confortably back in my size 10….

Desiree

Before

I have been what I considered fit and active for the majority of my life. I was proud of my figure and the way my clothes fit me. For the past 10 years I have drastically reduced my activity, worked a desk job, and changed my eating habits to basically one large meal a day. I didn’t understand how your body could go into starvation mode when you consistently missed meals and didn’t understand how I was gaining weight when I was eating so little and infrequently. As you guess it, my weight increased dramatically and my dress size increased with it. I have tried just about every diet there is from Atkins to the Cabbage diet. I would loose a few pounds but quickly re-gain them. I had been reluctant to add exercise to my regimen because of what I considered my more important responsibilities and an extremely hectic schedule. I first got involved with Yunbootcamps about a year ago and quickly saw results when I combined exercise with a change in my eating habits. I unfortunately quickly fell back into my bad habits of eating on the go, usually one large meal, and allowing my hectic schedule and other responsibilities get in the way of participating in an exercise regimen that I know works. I have reached a point in my life where I am now putting myself first. I deserve to be healthy, fit, and have the resultant energy. I deserve to fit back into clothes that aren’t in the double digits. I am not only trying bootcamp out again, I am incorporating exercise in my life and mixing that with a change in my eating habits. I will not go on a diet, however I will eat in a way that my body benefits from. My goal for this competition is to go down a dress size and develop a habit of exercise and eating that will cause me to continue to decrease my dress size.

AFTER

“You can never solve a problem with the same kind of thinking that created the problem in the first place.” Albert Einstein. I feel extremely good about the beginning of this journey because I changed my way of thinking about health and fitness. My time commitments, responsibilities, laziness, and hectic schedule were not going to change so if I wanted to see a difference I had to change, not only my exercise and eating habits, but my way of thinking about it. I incorporated workouts into every aspect of my life. Everyone knew that getting to bootcamp was a priority, including my boss!! I am truly confident that this contest and bootcamp gave me the jumpstart that I needed to accomplish my long term goals. I didn’t make it to class as often as I had planned but I over-planned for it so that I got at least 3-4 times a week in. I didn’t go on a crazy diet that would net me short term success, I changed how I thought about the food I was eating. I increased the frequency that I ate and made better food selections. I wanted to cultivate habits that I could maintain forever, and I’m proof that you can’t maintain being on any “diet” forever. It was tough, pushing myself past limits I wasn’t always sure I could push through. Today I am confident, stronger, and I have more energy and stamina. Oh, and I loved the way my clothes are fitting. Jason can be heard in every bootcamp saying “finish strong!” and I believe I have. The end result of finishing strong in this contest is that I have gotten back on track to a healthier lifestyle and I am confident the physical results will follow!!

Hetal

BEFORE

Daughter, mom, wife; for nine years these titles have defined me. For nine years I’ve put those titles before the most important one of all; self.

Before my marriage, I was a workout fiend. A six days a week, at least an hour at the gym kind of fanatic – and I looked forward to every minute.

Then I got married and moved in with my in-laws. My husband inadvertently fed me a fear that any time I spent outside the house would be frowned upon by his parents. Gone were my after work workouts. Eventually, my convictions of eating right followed.

And the scale slowly crept higher.

It’s gotten worse since the birth of my two beautiful babies. When my 3 year old says she misses me, I rush home to her. I don’t want to miss a single moment of my 3 month old’s growth.

But because of putting everyone before myself, I hate looking in the mirror. I hate putting on a dress. I hate being in public. This is the heaviest I’ve ever been – it’s the heaviest anybody in my family has ever been. I’d rather not be holding this title.

I want to enjoy dressing up; I want to see my reflection without wincing; I want to stop hiding in my home. I want to be proud of my body again.

Morning bootcamp has taught me I can make time for myself without feeling guilty for it or making excuses. I’m hoping the Transformation Contest – especially the accountability of it – might help with the rest.

Measurements:

Neck 14″

Arm 12 5/8″

Chest 39 7/8″

Waist 45.25″

Hip 43″

Thigh 24.5″

Calf 15″

AFTER

I didn’t accomplish all that I hoped to during this contest. I didn’t make the weight goal I’d set for myself. I know it’s a result of the sweet tooth that I indulge; I thought I could burn off the extra calories with exercise. Boy was I wrong.

I’d put all my faith into an online calorie tracker, not thinking it could lie to me. This went on through week 5 before I finally caught on that my food and exercise were calculating to maintain my weight, not losing as I’d thought. Wouldn’t you know, after figuring that out, I quit calorie counting. It was hard to re-commit to calorie counting after realizing those first 5 full weeks had been wasted. I kept up with my workouts, tried to increase my intensity, but my heart wasn’t as committed.

On the up side, I made a huge stride in what foods compromise my meals. I wasn’t big into junk food, but sandwiches made for me were easier than making my own; and if given one french fry, I would finish the plate. Now, I’m grilling chicken breasts and cutting up veggies every Sunday for my weekday lunches. It’s become a little ritual I don’t mind making time for. Thankfully that little change helped me lose some inches. My baby belly is still present, it’s stubborn what else can I say, but my legs really toned down allowing me to get into my pre-pregnancy pants. Woo hoo!

Even though I didn’t make my weight goals, I rewired my brain on meals. That’s something I’m pretty proud of.

Jessica

BEFORE:

I have always struggled with my weight. I have spent some time at a healthy weight, but unfortunately, most of my time has been spent being overweight and even obese. I have lost 30 or more pounds several times, only to gain it back plus some. Currently I am at my heaviest weight ever and look forward to the opportunity to losing the weight—but most importantly keeping it off for good.

Right now, the primary motivating factor and the reason that I want to make a change now is because life is passing me by. I am constantly unhappy with the way I look and I dread events that should be fun, like shopping and weddings, because of my weight. I want to enjoy those occasions and I know I need to lose weight to do so.

I feel like now is the time to do it—I am still young and I want to get healthy in time to take part in activities that I can only dream about now, like running a marathon.

AFTER

The transformation contest was just what I need to get myself in gear. In the past, I always start out strong on diet and exercise plans but fizzle out by the second or third week. Although I began to fizzle out during the contest, midway through the contest I found out that someone I know—who is the same height and weight as me–was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. This was my wakeup call and I knew that I needed to get in shape. After that, I have become more committed to exercise and have watched my diet much more carefully. While the diagnosis was my motivation the bootcamps—both online and on location—were my tools to getting in shape. I am proud of what I have accomplished but I know that I have to keep working to reach my ultimate goal.

Laurie

BEFORE:

I decided to join the transformation contest because I am entering a new phase in my life. I am turning 50 and have started menopause. I have always heard menopause slows down metabolism and can cause weight gain. Despite being physically active, I was not able to lose the 8 pounds I had put on over the past year.

With Jason’s help, I want to look more closely at the food combinations I have been eating. Throughout my life, I have never been skinny and I am not looking to weight the ideal weight that so many plans have set. My goal is to take off the stubborn belly fat, tone up other areas of my body and eat the write food combinations.

I have ridden in the Pelotonia (100 mile)bike ride for the past 3 years. My goal this year is to do the complete 180 mile ride and be 20 pounds less. I am sure it will be easier to ride when not carrying so much weight.

I know this will be a challenge but I am looking forward to participating and seeing gradual changes which I can use for my lifetime.

I completed the transformation contest 11 pounds lighter. I decided to follow an elimination diet. This eliminated gluten, sugar, dairy, eggs, soy, caffeine, beef and pork from my diet. The first week was hell as caffeine was my drug of choice. Since eliminating many of these foods, my heartburn has decreased tremendously, hot flashes have almost disappeared and I can fit it clothes that were very uncomfortable.

REAL TALK – WITH RICK LOCKE

REAL TALK – WITH RICK LOCKE

Hey Champions!! After a very grueling two session workout yesterday (2/1/12) with great and energetic people, I was approached by one of the participants who stated that they felt they were reaching a plateau in their weight loss progression even though he/she has been busting his/her butt in our training classes. Eager to impress this person by trying to diagnose what I felt at the time was simply not enough hard work in the off days of fitness camp; I missed the opportunity to ask the tough but necessary questions. I’m normally great about thinking before actually speaking to address a question. Not so much this time.

When I got home my wife and daughter presented me with a wonderful birthday dinner and very excellent practical gifts. I notice that my gifts from them for Father’s Day, Christmas, and Birthdays have been changing over the last year and a half since I’ve become a fitness training coach with Jason at Yun Fitness Boot Camps. Now I get workout equipment and attire. This is fantastic, because they have bought into my lifestyle change. This motivates me to be a better father, husband, trainer and human being. Now, this takes us back to the questions a good trainer would have asked before jumping in and telling this person, “Do more work in the off days!”…..

1. Are you being honest with yourself when you say that you are working to your potential? Hopefully you are pushing your body during your workout. Jason Yun, owner and founder of Yun Fitness Boot camps posted a YouTube video blog about workout intensity. Check it out here: http://youtu.be/XRzjOhWUyaw

2. Are you following any guidelines for proper nutrition? Yun Fitness provides this information in the form of a Look Better Naked Nutrition Blueprint for its members. (Email if you didn’t get it)

3. Are your fitness goals realistic? Real weight loss is a steady progression when done properly. It won’t happen overnight. Change just doesn’t happen, it takes work!

4. Are you backing up your statement with facts? Progression photographs do wonders. Yun Fitness also provides members with a Body Composition consultation which consists of body circumference measurements, body fat testing, and before pictures. You can schedule this today with Jason for your first time or for a reassessment.

5. Have your family and friends “bought into” your fitness lifestyle change? This question is very important because we are products of our environment. Therefore, we must exchange our unhealthy home and work environment with one that is conducive to our new mind and body sets. Having a great support system makes all the difference. Plus it will, most likely, encourage others to change for the better.

Change can be difficult, but with hard work and an open mind it will definitely still be just that; a change. But it’s your choice: for the better, or for the worse?

My response to this person bothered me so much that I felt I needed to share this not only with the concerned party, but with everyone I know in an all out effort to help promote positive changes in our lives. It also gives me a opportunity to redeem myself and be that good trainer.

Now, in closing I would like to share with you my thought of the month. I do not claim this as mine and it is not necessarily fitness related, but just something to think about to make us all better communicators:

Why Complicate Life?

Missing somebody…….Call them
Want meet up……Invite them
Want be understood……Explain
Have questions……Ask
Don’t like something……Say it
Like something……State it
Don’t make your life more complicated by over-thinking a situation or expecting (or wanting) the other person to ask or go first. Life’s too short – Take charge……Just Do It.

STAY STRONG!!

Sincerely yours in health & fitness,

Rick Locke
